Anthony275 replied: i got another one but i dont do anything with them

PrairieMom replied:
why do you get them if you don't do anything with them?

Anthony275 replied: get them as gifts- just wondering, do you even need the doll once you have the code entered on the website?

PrairieMom replied:
nope. I don't even know where Ben's puppy is. rolleyes.gif

luvbug00 replied: Mya has -rose ( a pink pony)

I secretly play with rose blush.gif

mckayleesmom replied: Mckaylee wants one.....the pug.....But I haven't gotten her one yet....Her birthday is in April...so Im thinking that would be a cute present.

lovemy2 replied: Olivia has two but I have no idea what to do with them - we registered them and she gets on there once in awhile but she is clueless too which is surprising cause she is usually a wiz on the computer....

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I have a raccoon named Socks. biggrin.gif He's cute. wub.gif

Maddie has a white dog.

CantWait replied: I'm finding this hilarious beyond belief that grown adults have their OWN and actually play with them. rolling_smile.gif Now I've heard just about everything.

And it's not like it's just a couple of you, there's a whole GANG of you's. laugh.gif

PrairieMom replied:
HEY! I DO NOT HAVE MY OWN. growl.gif


yet. rolling_smile.gif

My3LilMonkeys replied: You don't have an option for me. tongue.gif I know what they are, but I don't have one and neither do my kids.

DillsMommy replied: okay, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Please tell....

PrairieMom replied:
they are these beanie baby type stuffed animals that come with a computer coed that you put into your computer. It gives you an interactive cartoon version of your "pet" that you can "play" with, and lets you play all kinds of flash games. Basically, you play games, and answer quizes and stuff to earn fake $ that you can use to ""buy" fake things for your fake pet. It is beyond stupid, and a total waste of time, but I am totally addicted. laugh.gif

DillsMommy replied:
How cool! I think Dylan might "need" one of those for his birthday! emlaugh.gif

sparkys2boys replied: Bothy the boys have them and are getting more for up coming b-days and for eatser! I don't play with them though.. I wouldn't have the time .. I am i here to much tongue.gif

luvmykids replied: I'm on the fence....I was thinking about getting them for the twins' birthday but I don't have the time to deal with it laugh.gif The kids are great on the computer but I don't know if I want them on MINE that often. I'm thinking about hooking up an old one I have just for them, but I can't really find a spot for it.

MoonMama replied: Braedin has one Nana brought him back from Vegas. But I have never done anything with it, its sitting with the rest of his billions of stuffed animals. tongue.gif I guess I just don't get all the hoopla. rolling_smile.gif

AlexsPajamaMama replied:
Alex's birthday is in April also..the 5th..I got him one for his birthday. Amazon has tons and the prices are better than buying them at our mall. I paid a total of $9 with shipping and at the mall they were $12 but didnt have the frog I was looking for.
I cant wait to play with "our" webkinz! I know he will have me playing the games for him! As if I need one more thing to be addicted to on the internet! biggrin.gif

TeesaŽŠ replied: It's also good for helping children understand how to take care of a pet without actually having a real one. Good thing? NO POOP!!

All aspects of caring for a pet are addressed in the site: feeding, caring for it, making sure it has exercise, bathing it. On a non-pet side, you can buy them clothes, furniture, toys, a backyard, and as many rooms as you want to hold all the crap... er, I mean stuff... that your children buy, lol.

Make sure to:
*click on each animals' Bio to find out their fav food and toy for helping to keep it happy.

Every day, make sure to:
*go to the "Daily Kinzcare and click on the day of the week it is to get a surprise for your pet, some KinzCash and to be entered into a draw.

* check the Hourly and Daily Events for coupons, sales, and what games are giving extra %-ages in KinzCash.

* check the food level to make sure you have enough.

* check the Job postings. 3 times a day, you can get a job that pays out from $50 - 300 in KinzCash. Some you aren't able to do, but hover your mouse over the green, circled "P" and it'll tell you the job requirements. The paycheques don't stay the same though. First time I did the hamburger one and got $200 so I chose it again a couple days later and only got $50.

* enroll each pet into 3 classes [if you're sending them to the Academy]. Each class is $50 [that I've seen, some may vary]

The biggest payouts in KinzCash for games are Cash Cow and Tile Towers [those are really the only 2 I play.] You can make out pretty decently on the "Wheel of Wow" and "Wishing Wells 2", but you can only do those once a day.

I've just learned that you can't move a room once you've added it. Totally sucks, but at least DS has a shed now, rolling_smile.gif

You can add friends to your Cell phone as long as you know their Sign In name for WebKinz and you can even invite them over to play in your "room". You can chat, as long as the friend is in the same colour zone, but only get pre-written dialogue, which I didn't like, and half the time we can't connect, which I don't like either.

Something kewl I found out though, if you're in the bedroom and want to go to the kitchen and it's 4 rooms away, you can "jump" to it. Click on the Map, click the room you want, and then close the Map and you're there smile.gif

If you're pet isn't happy, give it some exercise or a bath. I love the giggles and the blow-kisses!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on here that actually went out and bought my own and set up my own account separate from my kids. blush.gif

coasterqueen replied:
I want my own and to set up my own account, but I have been secretly hoping Dh buys me one. tongue.gif blush.gif

msoulz replied: Jake has about 6 of them and Erin has 2. Erin plays with the toys and is now starting to play on line (I should say click around the web site and make the pets walk around - but she can sort of play a couple of games) and I keep up the garden that Jake started a long time ago. It's so cute. smile.gif

ZandersMama replied: Between me and zander we have about 15. One of my best friends got me a couple for Valentines day last year, he got me the cat and the pony. wub.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied:
They are considered collector's items and may be worth money later on when they are retired, so you can always keep the tags on them and just store them away.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I didn't either at first, but...I dare you to go to the website and log in with his code...you'll be hooked! laugh.gif tongue.gif biggrin.gif
