So your child has at last got one or more of the Zhu Zhu Pets hamster toys that are causing the latest toy craze in the world, but now she wants one of the many accessories that are available to add even more fun to her hamster entertainment.

Choosing the right accessory will either end up being money well spent and adds real fun and enjoyment for your child, or may end up being a wasted purchase. Each different hamster with their unique personality has a preference for different hamster add-ons and each child has a distinct preference for what gives them maximum fun and hours of extended play. So which accessory do you then buy for your child and their hamster?

Ever since these Zhu Zhu Pets toys (often misspelled Zoo Zoo Pets toys and even Zu Zhu Pets toys), the popularity and positive review comments from parents and kids alike with certain hamster accessories, has remained at a high level. We take a look at the top three selling add-ons that are currently available and in what instances they may be the best choice for your kids and their hamsters.

The Zhu Zhu pet hamster Funhouse has retained the number one position consistently from the start and for obvious reasons. The Funhouse is really the core central hub for any gigantic hamster habitat plans that your child may eventually have. All other accessories can be integrated onto the Funhouse for continuous modular extension if that is what they wish to do. The Funhouse itself contains the two main hubs comprising kitchen and bathroom and the bedroom, so the variety of rooms, together with the connecting tunnel really does allow your kids to test the interactive nature of their hamsters out to a greater extent and it gives them a varied and large enough area to show off their scurrying skills.

In second position is the Zhu Zhu hamster Adventure Ball. This is a favorite among both parents and kids alike. Kids love the Adventure ball for the fun factor in seeing their hamster scurrying around inside whilst making their favorite hamster sounds and moves. Parents perhaps relate to the fact that the ball is a common accessory that is used for real hamsters. Whatever the reason, like real hamsters, your hamster will come alive when they climb into this ball and provide hours of rolling fun for the kids.

The third spot is taken by the Zhu Zhu hamster wheel. Again, perhaps the high positioning of this item has something to do with a lot of parents buying it for their children, and when it comes to hamsters, whether that be a real or a pet toy, the traditional hamster exercise wheel is an all round winner. Like the Adventure Ball, the hamster climbs aboard the wheel for a bout of fast paced scurrying exercise and kids literally find it hysterical, particularly with the great ensemble of noises that the hamster makes during their routine.

All three of these Zhu Zhu Pets toy hamster accessories are winners by both parents and children, so if you are stuck on which one to add to your kid's hamster fun, you can't go far wrong with any or all of these.

Many people look for a vintage rocking horse when they decide to purchase a rocking horse. Some people are serious rocking horse collectors, and some people are attracted to the mystic and romance of an older rocking horse, while others are recapturing old memories.

Some people may be looking for a vintage rocking horse to give their grandchildren or children for a gift. In this case you must always make sure the horse you buy is safe to ride and not just looking good. Find this out by talking with the owner of the horse that you are thinking of purchasing before you make your purchase.

You can purchase vintage rocking horses from a flea market or a yard sale if you are lucky enough to find one. Or you can search the keyword on the Internet and you will find many shops selling vintage rocking horses. Most of the rocking horses that you will find in these online shops are what I consider to be antique or collectors items and tend to be rather pricey. If you are a serious collector however; it may well be worth your time to browse through these websites to see if there is something you might like to add to your collection.

If you are looking for a vintage rocking horse in the lower price range, you can try searching eBay or looking in Craigslist or other such auction and classified sites for them. You might be surprised at how many you will find.

A problem you may have to confront is just what does the word "vintage" mean really? This word is well defined when speaking of wine, however when speaking of something other than food it is not so clear. When it comes to rocking horses the word vintage seems to be rather subjective. It depends on who is selling the horse and where the horse is being sold as to whether it is called vintage.

For example, on eBay if the seller is older, vintage probably means in the 1940's-'50s. If the seller is younger the vintage can mean in the 1960's or even possibly the 1990's. One man's vintage is another man's antique depending on the age of the seller.

Personally, I don't consider the 1990's vintage, and even the 1980's is stretching it a lot.

If you decide that a vintage rocking horse is not what you are looking for after all, never fear. There is a plethora of websites offering up the full range of what is available in new rocking horses today. They are priced very reasonably as well.

Once you have purchased your rocking horse, make sure that children under 4 do not ride it unsupervised. You will want the children to have a safe ride and to have fun.
