For those admirably pro-active parents trying to get a head start on tracking down this year’s Tickle Me Elmo, look no further than the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters. Already on the Toys “R” Us hot toys list and proclaimed by Reuters to be a potential Toy of the Year for 2009, these furry little “smart pets” will most certainly be causing stampedes and riots at Wal-Marts nationwide! Don’t risk injuring yourself and ruining your holiday season and get yours from amazon.com sooner rather than later!
Here is a description of the little buggers from zhuzhupets.com:
The best alternatives to real live hamsters, Zhu Zhu Pets™ hamsters don’t poop, die, or stink, but they are still a riot of motion and sound. Darting around in their hamster tubes, busily scurrying from room to room, you never know where they’ll go next! Simply pet the hamster’s back, set him down, and watch him Zhu Zhu Zhu-oom! Zhu Zhu Pets™ like to be picked up and snuggled too! Pet them gently on the nose, and they’ll squeak with contentment. These hamsters have over 40 different sound effects, depending on the unique environment they encounter.
Zhu Zhu Pets are the world’s first innovative, realistic, interactive, plush, and artificially intelligent hamsters that talk and move around in their own playsets. Zhu Zhu Pets include two play modes: nurturing mode where the hamsters coo and purr, and adventure mode where the hamsters explore their habitat with intelligent audio and mechanical responses to various habitat stimuli. Over a dozen add-ons can be purchased to build an ever-evolving hamsterworld for your hamsters to play in and explore. Zhu Zhu Pets are the newest craze among kids and expected to be the most popular toy of the year!
