Zhu Zhu Hamsters a Hit

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters

They have names like “Chunk,” “Pipsqueek,” and “Num Nums.” CBS News business correspondent Anthony Mason reports these robotic rodents suddenly top every little girl’s holiday wish list.

Olivia’s mother Deb said, “it’s the toy that everyone wants that you can’t find.”

Melissa Post has been on a hamster hunt for weeks now for her daughter Jessica.

“I called every Toys R Us, Walmart and Target within two hours of my home.”

Zhu Zhu Pets retail for only $8 — if you can find one. But on the Internet, they’re going for much more.

The hottest holiday toy doesn’t come from one of the mega toy makers. It’s made by the little St. Louis-based Cepia company.
