If you're like Mr. Blonde and I, you asked your parents for some at some point in life. Or multiple points in life.
"Can I have a hamster?!"
I'm sure my Dad would have like to have responded with "Why, yes. Yes you can have a rodent you'll think is fun for two weeks, urinates all over it's cedar chips every other day and runs in a squeeky wheel every night from 3 to 4am that your mother will end up caring for instead of you. Great idea, beautiful smart daughter! In fact, let's get a dozen of them so by this time next year, we have 186 of them!"
You know that part about us at Blondes, Poop & Mascara enjoying things that simplify and enhance family life? This is precisely the point.
If fake hamsters make kids happy then you won't ever have to get your children real ones!
It is true! ZhuZhuPets and Playset come with very fun and loveable little hampsters of all different colors. They chitter and chatter and scurry all over your floor.
We had a blast for hours with our new playset and furry friends. And, the little rascals never bit anyone! We had a Zhu Zhu Pets Hampster Party with some little friends. Thanks to Mom Select and ZhuZhuPets we had a hampster for everyone. We were sent 10 Zhu Zhu Pets along with an exercise room/wheel, surfboard/dome, skateboard/uturn, car/garage and a slide/ramp. It was fun for LA (3+ years of age) to let he and his brother's (15mos of age) hampster run through the playset. But, oh my was it fun to see 10 little hampsters all running through the playset together. They would bump into each other and just keep going. I have to be honest...I didn't think it would work. A bunch of robot hamsters running around in this thing? Come on! But, they did. It really fun. And all of the kids are still playing with the hampsters. One of the little girls is still insisting her mom let her sleep with it each night!
The only thing that could have been easier was assembly of the playset. The parts didn't fit together perfectly. However, with a little time and patience it did ultimately work just fine. And, it's fun for a wide age range. My 15-month-old Boatboy loved his hamster and a 10-year-old friend of ours wants the entire set for herself.
And, because they're fake there's no pellet poop to clean up either!

I would choose yellow. Best thing? No extra poop.
I think yellow and the fact you don't have to clean up after them.
These are way too cute! My favorite thing about ZhuZhuPets is that they would be enough to satisfy my daughter. We rent and can’t have any pets, so I would take anything that would make her happy (lol).
Any color would do, but I like the yellow one the best.

I think Pipsqueek is adorable...in fact I have bid on 3 or 4 of the yellow ones on eBay. I remember having a real hamster when I was little and the heartbreak when it died:( Having a very emotional daughter, I won't have to worry about that with the Zhu Zhu pets.
I love the white hamster and find it neat that there is so many accessories you can get. The ball and garage is so adorable.
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
I would like the white one. The thing I like most about them is how you can play with them just like a real hamster and they are soft and cuddly.

I would choose the white one.
reason? All of the fun - none of the poop!
I would choose the yellow one. When I was a child, my pet hamster bit the tip of my finger off so the best thing about these is that they don't bite.
I'd love the yellow, and it's perfect for us because it doesn't make a mess!
I think the yellow one is adorable! The best thing about Zhu Zhu pets is that they will never get sick or die, something that is very upsetting to little ones.
My Chubby-huggy wants the gray one and I love how you can add on sets, and keep building your collection.

I would go with the yellow for my daughter. And I love the fact that they come with so much play areas and resemble real hamsters so much. And did I mention no smelly cage to clean out.
I would choose a yellow one. I love that if it dies, you just put a new battery in it or worst case scenerio head to the toy store and get a new one. No more trips to the pet store with a dead hamster in your purse trying to find a stand in for the dead "fluffy" or "Hammy" because you don't have the time or energy for a hamster funeral that evening.
