Zhu Zhu Pet hamsters outshine any other toys this holiday season. Wondering why Zhu Zhu Pets are better? They are cuter than other interactive toys, they are less trouble than real pet hamsters, and they are what children all over the world want for Christmas.

There are any number of interactive toys on the market these days, but none quite like Zhu Zhu Pets. These five furry friends –Mr. Squiggles, Chunk, Pipsqueak, NumNums and Patches, are robotic rodents who entertain kids for hours with their zany antics, activity centers and exclusive accessories. As to why Zhu Zhu Pets are better, just consider what having a real hamster involves: the expense of food and a cage, the drudgery of cleaning up after them, the fear they’ll escape and you won’t be able to find them again, the chance a larger pet will eat them, and the fact that when they die, you’ll have a very sad child to comfort.

Zhu Zhu Pets are better than other toys because they teach children how to care for real pets. If you are not sure if your child is ready for an actual, living pet to nurture, love and care for, consider one of these toy hamsters as a good way to see just how devoted your son or daughter would be if they had a real pet. If they don’t care for a Zhu Zhu pet, and show interest and affection, there will be no dire consequences, it’s true, but you will get a good indication of how attentive and responsible they would be with a living animal.

Another reason why Zhu Zhu Pets are better is that they have landed in the number one position atop the Toys R Us Hot Toys of 2009 list, a pretty good indication that every child will want at least one of the hamsters and an assortment of their accessories. You may witness great disappointment on Christmas morning if there is not at least one of these fur balls under the tree. And as popular as they are certain to be, your kids will surely see many of their friends with them and clamor for their own. The hamsters, word has it, will be as huge as the Cabbage Patch dolls were several years ago, and you know what that means: they are not going to be on shelves for long this holiday season.

There are several ways in which Zhu Zhu pets are better, better than living pets, better than other toys this Christmas, and the last better –better go shopping for them before they’re all gone.
