Bridgette and I are still in a state of shock over the traffic and attention our recent post about How to score a Zhu Zhu Pet generated. Our article was featured in a post by the LA Times which brought thousands of new visitors to The Not-So-Blog! Best of all, our readers gave tips on how to really accomplish the nearly impossible feat of scoring your very own Num Nums or one of his cuddly buddies. Zhu Zhu fans came together on our post for one common goal and many have found the coveted hamsters due to the generosity of strangers. Thanks, faithful readers!
Lo and behold as word of Zhu Zhu mania traveled, Bridgette and I were giddy with Zhu Zhu delight. Katie Couric even had a feature about Zhu Zhu Pets on the CBS evening news! I was grateful to Katie for validating the Zhu Zhu craziness as many people thought I was clinically insane for waiting in line at the Wal Mart for hours to get one. Katie helped prove that I did not need to be carried off by the men in the white coats. Thanks, Katie!
Luckily, both Bridgette and I have acquired the coveted hamsters and some accessories for our girls for Christmas. The best part is that we were able to get them without swallowing any acorns or formally changing our names to Mr. Squiggles and Num Nums. A few days ago, my phone starts chirping like crazy with multiple text messages. It was Bridgette, asking if I am sitting down, because she has REALLY. BIG. NEWS. I thought for sure it must be Oprah, wanting us to come to her show and talk about the infamous Zhu Zhu.
"You get a Zhu Zhu! And you get a Zhu Zhu! Everybody gets a Zhu Zhu!"

My granddaughter has been asking for Chunk. I would choose the Jilly.
My daughter has been asking for all of the zhu zhu pets and everything to go with it. If I had to choose I would ask for Jilly, she is cute and my daughter would love her.
I posted it on here because I could not find where to put it on the zhu zhu’s website thanks, Nora
my little chloe would LOVE jilly!
My two daughters would just go crazy if they got a zhu zhu pet.Theave wanted one for a very long time and they love to share so just one is alright with them.And they both love pink, so i would pick jilly ( it’s actualy the one they wanted in the first place). My daughters are very gentle with there toys so jilly would not get damaged,most probaly loved on. i know they would love it.

Heyy! I just wanted to say that I’m only 11 yrs old and I LOVE your blogs!! I’ve been trying to score Zhu Zhu pets for my 8-year-old sister and I (she wants the whole set… I just want Pipsqueak and Winkie!), but we’re pretty much out of luck. I really hope I can win this contest for us!! By the way, if I do win, I really don’t care which one I get… I love both!!
I just got Winkie so I would choose Jilly!!!
