Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster Shortage

November 1st, 2009

How can it be that a battery-powered hamster is alread causing such problems this holiday season.   No one expected the demand for the Zhu Zhu pets hamster to be as much as it was.  A lot of retailers held out on their orders of the fury little pet hamsters and now are facing shortages and availability problems.  As a result this has put the conservative stores on red alert and they are now scrambling to stock up on their inventory of the very popular Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters.  Unfortunately, most of the worlds toys are  manufactured in Asia, specifically China, and “can take up to six week  boat trip to arrive.”   As a result beefing up inventories of Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters in time for the holiday season may be virtually impossible.  Shop for Zhu Zhu Hamsters

Unfortunately, Zhu Zhu Pets can be especially hard to find at Wal-Mart and Target.   That’s because earlier this year Target and Wal-mart, the two big discounters decided not to make a big inventory bet that Zhu Zhu Pets would be a hit this Christmas.  It doesn’t matter since the success of Zhu Zhu Pets has been an amazing store for the manufacturer Cepia LLC.  Fortunately, Toys ‘R’ Us, doesn’t anticipate an under-supply of hamsters.  However according to my favorite Zhu Zhu pet finder Toys R Us is also have trouble keeping the cute little hamster dolls in stock as well.

Yes there is a shortage of robotic toy hamsters called the Zhu Zhu Pets, as well as a shortage of the latest Barbie dolls and some stylish boots are disappearing from store shelves as holiday shoppers start to wind up and get serious on their shopping.   However, this year’s shortage is different from the days of Tickle Me Elmo.  Major retailers are not reverting back to great buying binges of past years, they are monitoring inventory which ends up keeping shelves empty.  The Zhu Zhu pet shortages come from stores that are terrified of ordering too much and are keeping their inventories thin.   As a result of this shoppers are spending a little more these days, but they aren’t going on major buying sprees.   Recently burned last seasaon the major retailers, remembering how Americans snapped their wallets shut last holiday season, didn’t order big piles of Zhu Zhu pets in the first place.   As a result, with only several weeks to go before Christmas, is that popular toys are already hard to find.  In fact, this holiday season’s early hits include the Zhu Zhu Pets hamster, an interactive mechanical rodent. I prefer hamster over rodent, distributed by Cepia Inc. that sells for $9.99 and is being compared to Furby a decade ago — is almost impossible to nab unless your at TheZhuZhuPetshop.com, we have all the hard to find Zhu Zhu Pets.

    Thanks for the feedback, it really does seem like a great toy for kids. It is almost like a fury race car. They are so cute these little Zhu Zhu pets.
