I’ve never seen one of these in real life (a fake hamster in real life?), but in the pictures and videos they look pretty cute, I’ll admit. And I bet that once you have all the trails and cars and skateboards and wheels, it’d be fun to let a big horde of Zhu Zhu’s loose to do their thing. And in case you’re wondering, it’s true – a group of hamsters is referred to as a horde. Is that awesome or what?

Anyway, the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters are shaping up to be THE HOT toy this year, just like the Tickle Me Elmo, Cabbage Patch Dolls, and others in previous years. If you’re shopping for Zhu Zhu Pets, you’d better start now!

We just spotted this gift a few days ago, and instantly fell in love. How could you not like a bowling game fit for babies, and where you knock down little animals with a soft foam ball? Too cute, and too fun!
