Having a hard time finding Zhu Zhu Pets and their accessories? All over the nation moms and dads are scouring their local store shelves trying to find the elusive hamsters, with not much success. If you are one of these parents hoping to get a hold of a Zhu Zhu Pet for your son or daughter this holiday season, you are not alone, and, thankfully, you are not beyond help either! Here's a few tips to help you find the best Zhu Zhu pet, at the best price available, with enough time to spare to still place it under your Christmas tree.
1. Stop looking locally: Unless you have "friends" inside one of your local toy or big box stores willing to hide away a few Zhu Zhu Hamsters just for you, you will likely be facing many trips to said stores in a futile attempt to secure a hamster or play set of your own. Not only that but in the unlikely event that you do find a Zhu Zhu Pets hamster or accessory/play set, it may not be the one you were looking for; particularly if it's one of the more popular items in the Zhu Zhu Pets line.
2. If you INSIST on looking locally: Call ahead and / or make a friend with some of the people who run, and regularly re-stock your stores' toy department. Ask around and try to find out when toy shipments occur, how often said shipments are likely to contain the Zhu Zhu Pet on your Christmas list, and when they will be put out on the sales floor. If you can get all of that information, then you will actually have a really good chance of obtaining the Zhu Zhu Pets hamster/playset that you want. However, getting even the tiniest bits of this kind of information is usually akin to pulling teeth, as most stores have a "no tell" policy that forbids employees from giving out such valuable information, in the interest of customer fairness and satisfaction. If anything, you will be lucky to get a hint of when the toy(s) may come in, when they might come out for sale, and how many days in advance you should plan to camp outside the store entrance for them.
3. Shop Online: Unless you have ABSOLUTELY nothing better to do than drive/walk/run in circles daily to all the toy selling stores in your area looking for that one special hamster your boy or girl needs, then it's time to check out the online toy shops. At last count there were over 1 million web pages related to Zhu Zhu Pets on the web, with a good %60 or more of them selling the furry little hamsters in some capacity. This leaves quite an abundant stock of Zhu Zhu Pets available for purchase at your fingertips. The single caveat: finding any of the Zhu Zhu products, particularly the hamsters themselves, for anything less than double or triple the MSRP is increasingly difficult. Therefore, as much as we may not like it, if this is one of the big "please please please daddy can I get it" items your child is asking for this Christmas, you may not have a choice but to buckle down and pay the extra few bucks for that one particular Zhu Zhu Pets hamster. While this is not immediately the favored option, when looking at how much gasoline, energy, and time is wasted in your brick and mortar store search efforts, the extra few dollars outlay-ed to an online merchant for the hamster your child wants far outweighs the wasted time and gas dollars spent looking for the perfect hamster at a local store.
There's your 3 best options for finding that elusive Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster or Playset in time for Christmas. Time to get shopping!

Zhu Zhu Pets - Tips to Consider Before and After You Get Your Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster
Before you buy your Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster, consider these tips from new Zhu Zhu Pets owners:
1. Get an extra set of AAA batteries. Or better yet, a set of rechargeable AAA batteries. You don't want your Zhu Zhu Pets hamster to run out of juice when you're just getting to know it do you?
2. These furry little friends zoom along pretty quickly: be sure to keep you and your child's hair, small fingers, shoelaces, etc. away from the motorized wheels that power these buggers to prevent entanglement and pinched skin.
3. If your child wants to sleep with his or her hamster, be sure to take the batteries out! The Zhu Zhu Pets aren't made to be sleeping buddies. But if your child must take it to bed with him/her, then removing the batteries will help to insure a safe, peaceful nights sleep for your child.
4. The hamsters were designed to be played with on smooth surfaces (hard floors, Zhu Zhu Pets play sets.) Putting them on soft surfaces like carpet may damage your hamster so try not to do it. Also keep them away from sand, dirt, water, and other outside elements.
5. Zhu Zhu Pets are made to be played with by humans; don't let your dog use them as a chew toy if you want to keep your hamster "alive" for awhile.
6. While the hamsters can handle bumping into things on their own, don't forcefully bump, throw, or crush them as some impacts may cause your hamster to stop working.
7. Be sure your child is ready for a Zhu Zhu Pet. The recommended age range is 4 and up for these cuddly guys.
Now that you've read these tips you're ready to adopt your new Zhu Zhu hamster!
