There have been many toy crazes over the last few years, all of them seemingly a little more complex than the last. The reason for this is that technology itself is growing at such an incredible rate that toys these days are just getting more realistic and cool to have. This year is no different with the introduction of Zhu Zhu Pets.
These little guys are made to look like real hamsters, so that children can have a closely simulated experience to owning a real pet. This is leaps and bounds past toy pets of even a year or so ago by incorporating real hamster like motion and activity without the need to actually take care of one or the risk losing a cherished pet.
But what makes it worth the money? Live hamsters themselves can be found for as little as 8-9 dollars a piece, but the abundance of accessories to make a play land for them can get costly in a hurry. Certainly anyone can see the perk of not having to clean cages or replace food and water every day, but many are concerned with the educational values of this type of toy. These people believe that the kids aren't learning real responsibility to care for an animal, when it never dies or needs any cleaning up after.
A child will never be able to completely connect with a Zhu Zhu Pet as they could with a real pet hamster, or any pet for that matter. But that's not what could be the toy's real merit. This is a good step in between not having a pet and later having one with full responsibility. Caring, even in part, for a Zhu Zhu could inspire your child to be truly devoted to a real one.
An example might be a two year old that loves an older child's pet hamster. You may not want to get a real hamster for a two year old, because that would be a short, sad fate for the hamster. But with a Zhu Zhu pet, your child can have almost as much fun without the fear of hurting it.
The Zhu Zhu Pet is integrated with technology to interact to any accessories purchased for it, as well as the mechanics to simulate the actions of a normal hamster, which include: sporadic movements, sleeping, and normal hamster noises. The Zhu Zhu goes one step more, allowing the pets to do tricks as well.
Zhu Zhu Pets might be the next Tickle Me Elmo or Furbee and are only a hot commodity for a season. They might soon be forgotten about. But, they are admittedly quite cute, so you should consider getting a Zhu Zhu for your little one and to let them experience the fun of having a pet, or maybe just having a new pet, without the messy tasks of caring a pet that no one likes. - 30443
