zhuzhu.jpgI heard last year that Zhu Zhu Pets, those hamster toys that supposedly interact with each other, were the “hot item” of the Xmas season and pretty hard to find. Well, apparently that didn’t last long – today I saw a bunch at Grocery Outlet. They were about $10 each (which is about the same price you can find them online – Grocery Outlet doesn’t always sell things at bargain prices), and I think they only had one color (beige), but I didn’t look at the model. Still, it’s pretty amazing how they went from hard to find to overstock.
As toys go, they seem to be OK. My daughters like the ones they got because they “feel so much like real pets” and play with them occasionally (they’ve had them for 2 1/2 months). But they haven’t been able to get them to interact with each other. They would like more, though (and they’re not getting them).
