There are many great mysteries in the world.
Why were the pyramids built, how do crop circles form and what do Zhu Zhu Pets do? Actually if you have young children you probably already know what they do.
But in case you don't, I'm going to tell you all about these furry little toys that were the hardest to find toys of the 2009 holiday season.
Zhu Zhu Pets are electronic toy hamsters.
They're cute and unlike real hamsters, they run on batteries and can be turned off.
Another important difference between these toys and real hamsters is that you don't need to feed or clean up after them.
But not only are they an alternative to a real hamster, they are also a fun toy to play with.
Each Zhu Zhu Pets has its own unique personality and can make over 40 sounds.
Whether they're in one of their hamster habitats or just running around on floor they're fun to watch.
Each hamster even has different modes that give them even more behaviors.
When you set pet to either Loving Mode or Explore Mode you'll see how they act differently.
And these hamster habitats which are sold separately can be used by themselves or joined together to create elaborate electronic hamster cities for your kids to play with.
This may be part of the reason why they became so popular.
They've managed to create a toy that appeals to the cute and cuddly crowd while also giving something back to the kids who like building things.
Sort of a Webkinz meets a Thomas the Train.
Even though they were the most sought after toy of the 2009 holiday season, they haven't rested on their laurels.
This year there's added some new hamsters that are especially for boys.
The Kung Zhu hamsters have weapons and battle arenas and do all those things that boys love.
Now that you know what Zhu Zhu Pets do you're probably thinking about buying some for your favorite kids this holiday season.
Be warned to shop early because selling out at the toy stores is another thing that they do.
