Since my girls were old enough to know what pets were they’ve always begged me for one, of course we’ve had dogs and cats but they were always outside animals and not at all what my girls had in mind. For the past two years my middle daughter Savanna has begged me for a hamster, and for the past two years I’ve told her “no” more times than I can count! I’ve promised that child for the longest time that I’d find her something better than a hamster and until recently I hadn’t come through, and she was sure to let me know as much!zzp2

Imagine my surprise when Mom Select told me that I had been chosen to do a review and giveaway for Zhu Zhu Pets. What are Zhu Zhu Pets you ask? Well they are cute, furry, interactive hamsters! If you (or your child) hasn’t seen Zhu Zhu Pets advertised on TV yet, they will, and they will surely just have to have one! Zhu Zhu Pets offer 4 playful hamster pals for your little one to enjoy; Mr. Squiggles, Num Nums, Chunk, and Pipsqueak, each one has it’s own distinct sounds and personality. Each Zhu Zhu Pet has 2 different operating modes; Loving Mode (Pet them, love them, hear them squeal and chatter) and Explore Mode (Let them scoot, scamper,bump and boogie across the floor through their Hamster Habitat). Zhu Zhu Pets also have their own Hamster Habitats that are almost as cute as they are some of the play sets include; the Hamster Funhouse, Skateboard and U-Turn Ramp, Hamster Car and Garage, Spiral Slide and Ramp, and Hamster Tunnel and Wheel. zzp3zzp

From the moment the UPS truck arrived with our box of Zhu Zhu Pets my children were in heaven. Not only does my middle daughter Savanna (she’s 7) loves playing with her Zhu Zhu Pet (Chunk) and it’s habitats so do my two youngest children. My youngest daughter Ki Ki gets the biggest kick out of watching the hamster scurry across the floor. I do have to admit that watching Chunk (that’s the Zhu Zhu Pet by the way not my daughter) ride around in her little hamster car is quite a sight! Savanna really enjoys the feeling of having a pet that she can interact with and I enjoy knowing that her cute and furry friend isn’t going to require any more attention from me than the occasion battery change!

  1. I would love to win this for my son. He is allergic to almost all animals with fur so we don't take the chance with any animals besides fish. I think he would love this alternative to a "real" pet.

  27. My Chubby-Huggy has been asking me daily for Zhu Zhu's, since she saw them on tv. This prize would be for her because in June she had her 4th birthday, and it was not a good birthday. Hubby's laid off work and times are tough.

  46. A few years ago, I was switched from teaching middle school computers, to 7th grade math. Let me tell you, math was ALWAYS my best subject. But when I went to teach it, I had a lot to learn. I was trying to teach 7th graders things that I had done in college! Math is WAY more complex than it was when we were in school. I've heard that the math tutors online are really helpful. I wanted to give you some kind of feedback for your post. It's not you, it really is harder!

  47. OMG -- are these too cute or what?!?!? I would love to win this for my Grandson who is almost 2 because just recently they had to "find the Dog a new home" due to health concerns. I usually discourage people w/toddlers from getting small pets (the 'Squish' factor!) but these would be safe and no one would be traumatized if they got stepped on or 'squished'!
