The toy stores are all pretty much out of stock at the moment. As this article says:http://zhu-zhu-pets-hamster.blogspot.com…
people are camping out to get them. I don’t expect it to change until after Christmas – Zhu Zhu Pets are THE hot toy this year. If you need them before Christmas, probably your only option will be to buy them online.
They ARE available on as Amazon, although the prices are higher than you’d expect in a store. This site lists the full range of Zhu Zhu Pets available on Amazon along with the going price:http://zhu-zhu-pets-hamster.blogspot.com…
It’s probably the best option for you if you really want to buy some Zhu Zhu Pets before Christmas

If you are buying from Amazon.com, get them when they are in stock by Amazon.com and not third party sellers which are very expensive. An $8 Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster from Amazon in-stock, sells for $50 or higher from some of the Amazon 3rd party sellers.
Instead of sticking to my computer and refreshing amazon for the moment that the stocks arrive on Amazon, I found a tool that lets me monitor Amazon for the precise moment that they restock the item.
Using this monitoring tool works much better than the email notification programs that email you once an item is in stock – by the time you get the email and check on Amazon, the item is sold out again. With this tool, you monitor an item on Amazon in real-time, and as soon as Amazon restocks the item, you get an alarm. Then you jump in and scoop up the item (at Amazon’s retail price) before they sell out again. Kind of like jumping to the front of the line. It has worked really well for me.

See the tutorials at the web site to learn how it works. Takes about 5 minutes to figure it out, very easy. You’ll need to know the Amazon ID number (ASIN) which you can always find on a product page under the “Product Details” section.
Here’s the tool with a monitor watch setup for “Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Mr. Squiggles – Light Brown”

Give it a try, I bought a few of these Zhu Zhu Pets for $50 instead of just 1 using this! Just refresh the page once it its not showing up the item at first.

Paul is right. Each ToysRUs is sitting on at least 200 pieces per store. I work for another toy company and I cover a few stores in my territory and they’re just sitting there in the back room on hold until Black Friday. Save your money paying three to four times its value on Ebay when you can get them for under ten bucks each until then. Doors open at 12AM Friday morning… Good luck!

You can get them for regular price on amazon, but they keep running out. Use a site like http://www.azcut.com to tell you when they get more. Then, buy them fast before they’re gone!

http://www.getzhuzhupets.com checks stock and lets you know if they have any, you should check on there

This is not really a pet question. But try Ebay.
