For those of you in Denver... I was at the TRU at Park Meadows yesterday. That had a display of the Funhouses in the center aisle. I bet there were 50 of them there. No hamsters though.

Lots of accessories in Lafayette, LA at TRU, no hamsters though. There was the adventure ball, slide, surf sleep dome, skate u-turn, car/garage, and one other (can't remember what it's called. This was just a few minutes ago(1 pm central). Limit was 4 per family.

I got them in South Jersey (woodbury NJ) CVS last week. They said they are getting more. Some maybe call the CVS near you and see if they can tell you when they are getting them.

Thanks I will keep checking my CVS they don't seem to have them yet though.

CVS in San Marcos, CA has a ton of bedding. Picked up the only two other accessories they had...the slide and wheel. Still looking for ball and house.

But, of interest to everyone.....CVS's Sunday ad features Zhu Zhu, according to asst. mgr. at one of the stores I was at today. They have strict instructions not to put the ad out until then.....something to watch out for.

Just as testimony as to how clueless the CVS people can be about Zhu Zhu pets? I looked high and low in CVS for the hamsters and accessories, and was just about to concede defeat. I was walking out via the pet food row. Would you believe they had stocked the blankets and carriers by the actual HAMSTER FOOD?!?! Don't you know some stocker somewhere was thinking, "Oh brother, what will they think of next? Hamster beds, blankets and little carriers!?"

So, if you can't find the toys anywhere else in CVS, be sure to check the pet food row!

That is too funny! I can just see some poor little hamster in a little teal carrier and blanket

One of our CVS stores had them in the exact same place! I went up and down the aisles four times before I finally saw the little beds and carriers on the top shelf in the pet aisle!

I have had great luck on two different occasions at the CVS on Roberts Rd/Walcutt Rd intersection in Hilliard. Friday I landed the slide and car, last items they had out. I went today and found the wheel and beds. When I left at 6:40ish they still had beds, 1 carrier, 1 car, and 1 slide left.

 

[mommyof3princess27]

scored all four blamket/carrier things at cvs!!!

 

[limace]

Man, those of us without CVS in our area seem to be SOL. Any other ideas?

 

[mommyof3princess27]

i called and they said not til sunday but I decided to drive there as its only 1 block and score!!!

I was able to get a fun houes at TRU in Salem, NH. Actually went in for a Blue's Clue DVD for my son and they had 7 of them on the table up front. Only one per household per day. I already got 2 hamsters and some accessories from a CVS in Nashua on Monday so now I'm on the lookout for friends and family

For those who have a Kroger I read somewhere that they are suppose to have them. Also heard some Five Below stores might have them but the one in Nashua, NH didn't have anything.

I've been tracking online stock through zoolert.com and they have some great forums with lots of sitings and what not.

Union City NJ - I was there when an associate was opening the boxes. They had about 5 boxes of hamsters (8 per box) and about 5 cases of accessories, slides, cars, wheels. This was at 11:30 am today..

I got lucky today! My advice to anyone is to ask the manager when you walk in the door. No stores had them on the floor, but several had them in the back if you ask. They were shelving all their Wednesday delivery and hadn't unpacked yet. When I found mine, the stocker wasn't even opening the box and I asked her if any of those had Zhu Zhu pets in them. She looked for me and I got a white and brown one. They come 8 in a box, and stores are getting about 3 boxes. I finally managed to get all four colors after hitting about 8-10 stores this morning. Whew! I also snagged a car and a wheel, so I am over the moon! It's going to be so hard not to tell the kids b/c they are bugging me to take them out looking (I told about CVS being the place that has them) and I don't want to keep going on psuedo-hunts either!!

One manager who had sold out of his 24 in 1 hour told me the hamsters are considered seasonal Xmas mdse, so they will not likely get another shipment of them. Several had no idea what the hamsters even were, and I still had people pointing me toward the pet food aisle!

Good luck and just keep going in and asking if they're in the back.
