Zhu Zhu Pets™ Touch Down In New Zealand!

The worlds most popular toys are here!

The world’s most popular toy Zhu Zhu Pets™ hamsters are set to touch down in New Zealand on Monday 15th February! The highly anticipated new collection of adorable, furry little interactive pets is set to take the country by storm and cause a buying frenzy the moment they hit shelves in New Zealand.

Zhu Zhu Pets™ are the newest craze for kids and distributors worldwide have been struggling to keep up with demand selling out across the USA & UK. The incredible popularity of these loveable little pets captivated news media across the globe before Christmas. The average time on retail shelf in the US was between 30 seconds and 3 minutes. Faced with the prospect of kids missing out on Zhu Zhu Pets™ in their Christmas stockings, parents went to extreme lengths; some driving 2 hours to find a store that still held stock while others paid seven times their value on-line to secure the ultimate gift for their children.

The best alternatives to real live hamsters, Zhu Zhu Pets™ hamsters don’t poop, die, or stink, but they are still a riot of motion and sound. They dart around in their hamster tubes and busily scurrying from room to room. You never know where they’ll go next! Simply pet the hamster’s back, set him down, and watch him Zhu Zhu Zhu-oom! Zhu Zhu Pets™ like to be picked up and snuggled too! Pet them gently on the nose, and they’ll squeak with contentment. These hamsters have over 40 different sound effects, depending on the unique environment they encounter.

“Zhu Zhu Pets™ hamsters are truly unlike anything on the market,” says Jeremy Kirk-Smith, CEO, Planet Fun Ltd. “They’re smart and interactive but also have the adorable qualities of a real pet with unique personalities and comic behaviour.”

Zhu Zhu Pets™ drive around in little cars, zip up ramps and spin down slides, run in their hamster wheels, and get into all sorts of crazy situations. Their artificial intelligence even allows them to know what room of their hamster habitat they are in. They make toilet-flushing or teeth-brushing sounds when they enter the bathroom, and sleeping noises and alarm-clock sounds when they go into their bedroom.

Zhu Zhu Pets™ are available as five different characters:
Zhu Zhu Pets™ Patches - the flower-loving hamster
Zhu Zhu Pets™ Jilly – this hamster is captain of the pep squad!
Zhu Zhu Pets™ Scoodles – the hamster who loves to travel
Zhu Zhu Pets™ Nugget - the day dreamer hamster
Zhu Zhu Pets™ Winkie - the hamster who likes to go with the flow
In addition to the five hamsters, multiple Zhu Zhu Pets™ accessories are also available for purchase, allowing kids to collect and connect them all to create their own customized hamster habitats. Zhu Zhu Pets™ accessories include:
Hamster Funhouse
Hamster Wheel and Tunnel
Hamster Mobile and Garage
Spiral Slide and Ramp
Adventure Ball
Convertible sports car
Woody wagon & surfboard
Baby Hamster Stroller
Skateboard and U-turn
Pet Bed and Blanket

Pet Outfits
Zhu Zhu Pets™ are available for sale at Kmart, The Warehouse, Farmers, Toyworld and other select retailers from Monday February 15th and are expected to sell out quickly. Prices for each individual hamster and add-on accessories start from $29.99 each.

Zhu Zhu Pets™ will entertain children for hours on end, engage their imaginations in an entirely new interactive way, and provide a constant low-maintenance companion for kids desiring a pet of their very own.
