We have recently had a new addition to our family. And quite a cute little thing she is too. Her name is Rori (& *squee* she\u2019s purple \u2013 my favourite colour).<\/p>\n

When Rori arrived I think I had more fun playing with her than Miss K, but she has slowly taken a shine to her new \u2018pet\u2019 and Rori has been out and about with us a couple of times now. Zhu Zhu Pets are recommended for ages 4 & up but Miss K is only 18 months and is quite happy to play with Rori, supervised of course. She wasn\u2019t keen to pick her up to start with but now carries her Zhu\u2019s around most of the day and find various play spaces for them. The kitchen is the favourite at the moment and it\u2019s nothing unusual to see our three Zhu\u2019s scooting around the kitchen. Oh yeah, I should warn you \u2013 Zhu Zhu\u2019s are addictive, since Rori came to live with us we\u2019ve acquired Kacee & Harlow.<\/p>\n

We share our house with a couple of cats (or more they share their house with us) and they have both taken an interest in Rori and the other bhns with one even coming up to give Rori a lick when she\u2019s not running round the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s two of the Zhu Zhus doing what they do best, running round the kitchen being chased by Miss K (please ignore the mess. And the high pitch squealing from Miss K)<\/p>\n

Zhu Zhu Pets are the cutest little plush robotic hamster toys. They can be put in either of two play modes: “nurturing mode,” in which they coo and purr, or “adventure mode,” in which they explore their habitat and respond to various stimuli.<\/p>\n

Things I like:
\n* Runs well on a variety of surfaces
\n* Keeps Miss K amused for awhile
\n* Is cute and a good replacement pet if you can\u2019t have real pets
\n* Not overly expensive
\n* The website \u2013 The Zhu-niverse<\/a> \u2013 is a great place for both parents & children to learn about the Zhus and play games in a safe online area. And create a list of what Zhus and accessories you own or want to own.<\/p>\n

Things I\u2019m not to keep on:
\n* The noise. It\u2019s cute but after awhile can get a little annoying
\n* No off switch. You have to let your pet go to \u2018sleep\u2019 and ours seem to chat for ages after we press the buttons.<\/p>\n

Hubby has decided there should be one called Harvey. Hmm yup, a Weird Al fan.<\/p>\n
