Plot
The ZhuZhus is about 8-year-old[10] Frankie Pamplemousse, who lives in Anytown[11] with her parents who run a plumbing home business called Pamplemouse Plumbing.[12] She owns four talking hamsters called the ZhuZhus; Pipsqueak, Mr. Squiggles, Num Nums, and Chunk, as they have adventures in their town.
Characters
Main
- Frankie Pamplemousse[13] (voiced by Jenna Warren) is the 8-year-old[10] owner of the ZhuZhus. She likes sports and hanging out with her friends, the ZhuZhus.[14] She has blonde hair and blue eyes. Before the redub of the series, she was originally named Polly.
- Pipsqueak (voiced by Tajja Isen) is Frankie's first ZhuZhu,[15] and the unofficial leader of the ZhuZhus[14] who loves adventure. She'll do anything to help Frankie and the team out. She is fearless, energetic, and very loyal to Frankie. She is yellow and her birthmark, which are located on the Zhus' backs, is a shooting star.
- Mr. Squiggles (voiced by Richard Binsley) is the secondly introduced ZhuZhu, and the oldest.[16] He is smart, resourceful, and likes science. He also invents machines that help the team out when in need. He is orange, has wrinkles under his eyes, wears a belt, and his birthmark is a spiral.
- Num Nums (voiced by Stephany Seki) is the thirdly introduced ZhuZhu. She is shy and a cautious thinker, and unlike her best friend Pipsqueak,[17] she isn't as daring as the rest of the team, but will also do anything to help them out. Despite this however, she still has a tough side whenever she or the team is insulted.[18][19] She is purple, wears pink glasses, and her birthmark is a heart.
- Chunk (voiced by Robert Tinkler) is the fourthly introduced ZhuZhu. As his name suggests, he is very chunky. He is also very strong. He is stylish and is very narcissistic, and usually serves as the comic relief. His cousins are Jilly and Bean, two mischievous twins. He is light blue[20] and his birthmark is a sun. He is the tallest Zhu.

- Stanley[23] Pamplemousse[22] or "Dad" (voiced by Zachary Bennett) is Frankie's father and also a professional plumber for Pamplemousse Plumbing. He loves music and was previously a Wilderness Teen Ranger. Thus, he knows a lot about nature.
- Wilfred P. Kerdle[24] or Mr. Kerdle (voiced by Patrick McKenna) is the cranky janitor of Frankie's school. He tries to stop the Zhus from coming into the school and insults them.

Production
The ZhuZhus is produced by Nelvana and Cepia LLC, in association with Corus Entertainment. The series is animated using Toon Boom Animation and recorded in Studio 306 Inc. It was first announced on February 12, 2015 by Kristin Musulin of USA Today as a Nelvana production, with a planned release of 2016.[27] The show was originally referred to as "ZhuZhu Pets" before the official title was revealed.[28] The last episode to air on Disney Channel with that title was "Fur-Vivor/Zhuper Girl," which premiered on October 21, 2016,[2] and the show went on a hiatus. After its hiatus the series gained a new name and Polly's name was changed to Frankie for the rest of the series' run. Eventually all seven episodes that were previously broadcast on Disney Channel were redubbed to say Frankie instead of Polly.
