The zhu zhu pet hamsters have not been with us long and already we are seeing the prices rise.

As Christmas approaches I can only think that this is going to continue. What started out as a sub ten dollar toy is now already over twenty dollars and rising. With stock very scarce this is only going to get worse. It is already nigh on impossible to buy on the high street and we are sure to see this continue.

In fact there really is little point trying to find them anywhere apart from online and those that go searching are often having totally wasted journeys. Online the prices are going up but at least they are available. What is recommended is that they are bought as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment. We may well see them totally unavailable as we get close to the end of the year.

We may just have to wait and see but if your child his his or her heart set on zhu hamster and maybe a funhouse or other extras then there really is no time to lose unless you want to pay more than you should.

It is not often that we see toys change in price like this so it is best not to wait and see. It is doubtful that they will lower in price, rather they may disappear entirely. With them being so popular this year there is little doubt that people will be taking advantage of their scarcity and charging much more than they should. Let us not be taken advantage of and ensure that we buy them at a relatively low price as soon as we possibly can.
