The Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters Toys Are The Big Hit This Christmas

One of the most popular toy ranges for this Christmas has to be the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters, but what exactly are they? They've been kicking up quite a fuss in the toy industry, in stores and online, and are this year's must have toys for children.

These soft and cute hamster toys are battery operated interactive pet toys, giving kids all of the joy of having a pet to care for without the mess, the additional expenditure or the risk of the animal being injured. They're a great way for children to enjoy some pet fun without the heartache that can come from a real animal, and a good primer for children to move onto the real thing later in their lives.

Right now there are four main Zhu Zhu pets hamster toys, namely Chunk (white), NumNums (Grey), Pipsqueak (yellow) and Squiggles. There is also a range of brand new pet toys to look forward to in the new year. No matter which of these lovely furry creatures your child chooses, they're certain to fall in love with them.

Each of these cute hamster toys has two behaviour modes. 'Explore' allows kids to interact with the hamster as it scurries about its furry business and enjoy its individual personality while it runs around! 'Loving' is the mode to switch to when your youngster wants to hold and cuddle their pet hamster toy. In this mode the Zhu Zhu hamsters will coo and relax in your child's hands, just as a real and well adjusted hamster would do.

There are also lots of additional accessories and play sets available to go with the Zhu Zhu pets hamster toys, such as houses, wheels, play areas and even a car! All of these superb additional toys and play sets will show a whole different side to the furry fun that can be had with the hamsters, as they go about their daily lives as real hamsters would (maybe not the car bit). The hamsters are excellent fun on their own, but even more so with the various additional play sets.

These toys do get through batteries rather quickly though, so a good supply over the Christmas period is advisable, to cover the extended playtime they will go through at this time of year. They're very furry and they're lots of fun, which is the simple answer to the question of why the Zhu Zhu pets hamster toys are so very popular for this Christmas.
