Buy the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Funhouse or the Reason for the Season Will Consume Your Corpse

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Funhouse

I've seen mixed reviews for the Zhu Zhu/Go Go Pets Hamster Funhouse on Amazon.  The good outweigh the bad two-to-one, but there's a bad one at the very top, which for some reason always makes me nervous.

But you know what?  I kinda want one of these.  I don't know if I can buy it with the 300 other things I'm getting my unborn boy (Due round about Pisces) and my stepdaughter and wife and cats and the neighbor's kids and the neighbor's cats.  Why?

This is not a Zhu Zhu Pets hamster.

1. It's a funhouse for electronic rodents.  I grew up reading cyberpunk science fiction and watching Gremlins over and over and over again.  How could I not want my kids to have a funhouse for their little pets that run on batteries, drive little plastic cars, and have names like NumNums and their own personalities?

2. It makes your Zhu Zhu pets make funny noises and dance.  The funhouse uses special "track bumps" that let each of the four hamsters user their special "interactive intelligence" to make unique sounds and funny movements.

3. It's got a bathroom.  That's right, there is a bathroom for the crazy little pets that don't poop, stink, or die.  It also includes a bedroom (because the need sleep) and a kitchen (so they can cook all the stinky lettuce they pick from the back of your teenage son's closet).

4. The Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Funhouse has four outlets with caps on them that let you tack on more of the habitat units just as soon as you can beg, borrow, or steal a few home. 

I mean seriously at the prices these are going for, you'll do well to afford half a hamster funhouse and a couple of the actual pets.  But you'll be the coolest parent on the block and your kids will love you more than anyone else's kids do.  I promise.

4. All of the rooms are connected by cute little hamster tunnels.  Hamsters love tunnels, and kids love hamsters.  Therefore, your argument is invalid.  Buy the damn Electro-Rodent Hamster Funhouse, or the reason for the season will cry!



Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Add On Wheel--Maybe Not the First Zhu Zhu Acessory You Should Buy

You'd think I'd be sick of Zhu Zhu Pets by now.  But they're such a hot item this year, I just can't sleep in the Bradley Bed without telling you everything I know about the Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Hamster Wheel.  (Don't worry--it won't amount to more than 500 words.)

If you're one of my five readers, you already know that the little Zhu Zhu guys can run all around your house in a protective ball, and can even jump in and start their own cars.  But did you know they can also jump on a wheel?




Zhu Zhu hamster wheel is a balanced part of any electronic rodent environment.



This is the one Zhu Zhu pets add on toy that I think you definitely should not buy as a first accessory.  After all, how much fun will it be to see your hamster just run around on it all the time?

I don't actually have one of these wheels.  I can only guess that the little electronic rodent gets on it for a little while (it does crawl through the tube and get on the wheel all by itself) and then gets back off and...drives its little car?  Runs across the floor?  I don't know.  I'm just betting it needs to do something other than spin on its little wheel all night.

I'm sorry if that doesn't sound exciting, but seriously folks, these things are selling like hotcakes and stores literally cannot keep them on the shelves.  Honestly it's something I can understand, the Zhu Zhus are pretty cute and pretty fun.

But the wheel, I'm sorry, I am lost here.  I think that maybe it's just part of any complete Zhu Zhu Hamster set.  But personally, I would go for the much more reasonably themed Zhu Zhu Pets Surfboard and Sleep Dome.  Because somehow, that just makes more sense.

Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Garage

In case you haven't noticed, I’m thoroughly fascinated with electronic rodents.  And because I like it when said rodents own and drive lots of cars, I’m also fascinated b the Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Garage.

Why?  Because there is only one thing more sickly-cute fascinating than an furry electronic hamster.  And that's one of the little faux-crawlers driving a hamster-powered sedan is what.  And you damn well know it is.


WTF is he saying?  Something about electronic nuggets, I'm sure.
                                                                                    

With the Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Garage, your furry bundle of artificial intelligence can cruise around their Hamster Habitat world or across your living room floor. Either way, the zoomy cuteness will have your kids smiling from one candy-coated cheek to the other on Christmas morning.

 When your Zhu Zhu Pets comes down the connecting tunnel towards the Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Garage, the garage door magically opens, your Zhu Zhu Pets hops into the hamstermobile and away they zoom!

The Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Garage comes with a hamster garage, a hamstermobile and a tunnel section with connectors.  The garage door opens when the toy reaches the end of its magic rodent tunnel; then the little guy gets into the hamstermobile all on his very own, and rides away like nothing crazy just occurred!



This one looks intent.  Guess he's posing hardcore for his first photo shoot.


As you can already guess, you can hook the garage up to any one of the thirteen hamster habitats the company sells over at Amazon.

So go ahead and get your kids a Zhu Zhu Pets Add On Garage.  Because there's nothing quite like seeing an electronic rodent drive a car.  And you don't even have to take drugs to see it.
