Undoubtedly one of the biggest things to hit the toy industry this year has been the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster toys. These furry little critters have caused such a storm with kids and families that stores across the globe have been selling out at a dizzying rate. They are tipped to be the most wanted toys for Christmas, but what is it that has made them so popular?

These are small, inexpensive toys that make some noises and run around on the floor, or in their specially made play sets. Their appeal lies in their simplicity. Every now and again there comes a toy that isn't overflowing with features, bells and whistles, that can be enjoyed for what it is- a toy. I guess that would be a certain element of the popularity of these delightful little toy pets. Word of mouth has also been very strong with these pets, and once a buzz started building, there was no stopping them!

One good aspect of these toys is that they can be enjoyed just as easily without the extra play sets that are available. They are small enough for little hands to use easily, and their noses are buttons, which trigger noises and movements when they run into walls or other objects around the house. The play sets that are available are pretty much like the sort of things you would give to a real hamster, but there are other more bizarre add-ons like cars an suchlike that you really wouldn't put a live animal into! It is important that children know the difference between these toys and real pets.

Drawbacks to the Zhu Zhu hamsters toys include the limited battery life and the tendency for the toys to fall off things if not watched properly. That said, they are wonderful fun for kids to enjoy, providing safe and pleasant play on a small and controlled scale. One difficulty is that some of these toys have become so scarce that the prices of them from collectors and some outlets online have skyrocketed, so it would be best to have a look around at a few places on the internet before deciding which merchant is the one for you.

Thankfully, these popular toys are available online at low prices, meaning you can avoid the speculators and avoid having to pay a small fortune. While the Zhu Zhu pets hamster toys may not have the longevity of some brands, they are sure to bring some smiles (and squeaks) to your home this Christmas.
