It's not Tickle Me Elmo or Beenie Babies this year, it's the Zhu Zhu, a toy hamster that moves around, scampering through maizes. It sells for about $8.00 at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us, but the Zhu Zhu Pets are so hot this holiday season, stores can't keep them on their shelves.

If you want to pay a premium price for one, the little guys are selling on eBay for as much as $60.00.

Stores that carry the Zhu Zhu Pets say they get trucks in every day or at least every other day. Sometimes the toys are on those trucks, sometimes they are not.
