A while ago I pondered whether or not the Zhu Zhu Pets would be fun to use to help to try to train the Dogs to leave small animals alone. Well, over the last few weeks the price of them has skyrocketed. I cam across this video today which explains why the Zhu Zhu pets have become a little more expensive (a lot more) than they once were. Take a look.

Crazy! I guess this is why they are so expensive to buy. I think I would rather pay more from the comfort of my own home than have to deal with this kind of madness. The Zhu Zhu really do seem to have hit a real winner with the kids. Or is it the parents that are just convinced that the kids will love them? I am guessing that you must have been nagged an awful lot to go to that kind of trouble to get a little toy.

Would you do this for a small toy for the kids or do you think it is way over the top. From what I have been reading today it has been quite common for this to happen yesterday (black Friday), as this was about the only opportunity anyone is going to get this year to buy a Zhu Zhu hamster for the original retail price. You would have to take a lot of surveys in your spare time to pay for the cost, apart from on this day. Get paid to take surveys may be about the only way parents could easily supplement their income to pay for a Zhu Zhu at the high Christmas prices. I have had to break the sad news to the three pooches that they will certainly not be having one this year. It would be cheaper (a lot) to get them a real hamster to play with although sadly it would not last long. I am of course just joking. I am gonna get a Guinea Pig instead, they are bigger, but slower, but I guess it won’t be here for long either way!
