RETURN OF THE HAMSTERS

  • Kids can collect a variety of characters
  • Includes vehicles and playsets
  • The fun of pet hamsters with no mess

ZhuZhu Pets, those speedy, squeaky, unpredictable little hamsters, have returned for a new generation of fans. From Cepia, the team behind the original craze (and last year’s ZhuZhu Aquarium), the new ZhuZhu City collection brings the fun into overdrive with fresh sets and characters. Kids can collect and connect vehicles, tunnels, and playsets, then let their hamsters loose to explore the city.

The hamsters still scurry, spin, and squeak with that goofy charm that made them a household name back in 2009, but the new sets take things up a notch. Watching them dart through tunnels and jump into their vehicles never gets old. It’s part nostalgia trip, part laugh-out-loud fun for kids, and just as unpredictable as ever. Worldbuilding is an important part of the play experience, and there’s plenty to do here. The different hamsters — Mr. Squiggles, Jilly, Num Nums, Scoodles, Chunk, Pipsqueak, Sophie, and Carly — have their own personalities. Fun fact: Mr. Squiggles doesn’t like being called “cute.”

We recommend the Downtown Starter Set and Hamster as an entry point for this collection. Additional sets, including the Ferris Wheel with Tunnels, Police Car with Tunnels, Fire Truck & Station with Tunnels, and the Pink Coupe, are sold separately. You’ll also want to have batteries on hand to ensure each pet is powered up and ready for adventure.

A new generation of kids who’re ready to fall in love with these little furballs, just like those who remember the original ZhuZhu craze.


ZHU ZHU CITY STARTER SET

Sophie the hamster zooms, spins, and scurries with patented random motion. Each Zhu Zhu hamster has its own birthmark symbol, personality, and more than 40 sounds and reactions. Zhu Zhu City sets have customizable tracks that kids can connect, rebuild, and rearrange.
