How many parents will opt for the real thing when they can find the fake Zhu Zhu Hamsters?
Remember if you bring them home…Hamsters are known for eating their young. One parent had to explain to their kids why there were 14 little hamsters when they went to sleep and only four when they woke up!
I am having a hard time understanding the play value of the Zhu Zhu hamsters. At under $10 I guess you get what you pay for. They look to be cheaply made and I’m wondering if the knock-offs would pass the new safety security. I have heard about people buying them off auction sites for $40-$50. For that amount of money I would opt for the WoWWee baby animals. http://uknowfact.com/toywishlist/wowweealive.htm
I gave my friend’s 10-year-old daughter the baby seal for her birthday last week and she is in love with it.
I never would give a child a real hamster for Christmas. As a mother of six grown boys I know first-hand how quickly the hamster cage is neglected by the distractions of toys, games, and outings.
Forget the hamster, seal pups and koala babies are so much more fun!
