Don’t forget, you can add me as a friend by going to KinzChat and adding Fiona Feathers (include the space!).
Ok. So I have been waiting a long time to ask you this question. I missed the make a new webkinz challenge and I thought that you could take some possible interest into this new *possibly but probably not* webkinz I thought of. Could I send you a picture of my drawing and get back to me soon? Thanks, I would really appreciate it. – Cashdog2006
Hi, Cashdog2006! You have a couple of options — you can submit your suggestion to the Fan Art section of the Share Center, wait for the next pet design contest, or send it to webkinzsupport@ganz.com (they can then pass it on to the creative department). Unfortunately, you won’t get a response to your suggestion, but we’re always happy to receive them!
Hey Fiona! Are there any plans to add new games to the tournament arena? That would be really exciting! -itswebkinztime
Thanks for your suggestion, itswebkinztime. Is there a particular kind of game you’re hoping to see? Can’t make any promises, but you never know!
Dear Fiona, I have been robbed : ( I was using my Wish Tokens to buy the Cabin Window, and it got stuck, and when I went back into my account- it had taken my 40 tokens and never gave me my window!!! Can you help? My account name is Happy Campers. Thanks for helping!!!!! – HartLakeKids
Sorry to hear that, HartLakeKids! Whenever you encounter something like this, your best bet is to send an email to webkinzsupport@ganz.com so they can investigate.

Hi Fiona! My pet gets sad because the Runway room is gone from the club house, yet she still asks to go there. It was my favorite room too, think it will ever come back? And why would my pet ask to go there if it is gone?
Hey Fiona! Surprised that you did nothing unusual for #100, but that’s not my question. I was wondering if there will ever be a faster way to add wish tokens to the wish machine. Adding each token takes forever, and I have a lot in my dock. To be honest, I would probably just trade them rather than wait to add each one! Will we ever be able to instantly add them or add multiple at a time? This is a bigger issue especially considering how much some prizes cost now. Also, want to say thanks for answering some of my previous questions.
Maybe try adding a few (or 10) to the wish machine each time you log in. Eventually you’ll have them all done. Hope this helps!
Hey Fiona, can free players get kinz chat plus? I want my second account [that has expired] to be able to go to kinz chat plus. Thank you.
Hi Fiona! Do you know if the furniture pieces we can win from the arcade are going to change anytime soon? I’m tired of winning the same pieces day after day. I probably have over 100 Floral Bean Bag chairs and have no idea what to do with them. I would like to see the other half of the floral theme or maybe pieces from the Forest Tile theme that were available in this year’s peek-a-newz. Thanks! ~Strawberryred
I’d recommend selling the furniture you don’t want :)
You may be able to trade some too, I know that I personally don’t have time for arcade games :(. (especially because the kinzcash reward is always so low)
Try the trading forums here on WKN.
We all enjoy the many themes that WW offers, however some of our rooms are seasonal and it looks very strange to have green grass when all of the items are a different season. Do you think we might have a way to control the background and flooring ourselves in the future? Fiona, thanks for helping all of us with our many questions.
Hi Fiona! Have a great day!
Dear Fiona, Why aren’t we allowed to rename our pets? All we want to do is fix our spelling and grammar errors. Do you think you could make it possible in the future? Thanks!
Probably has to do with legal hacking, right?
a lot of my pets have funny names because some spelling were not allowed to be used so i never wory about it. but if we change all the name that would mean adoptions would be different and some pets come with a room. i think it gets more complicated. there is a lot to a name.
That would be great, I have several that my grandson entered before he learned how to spell and punctuate. It drives me nuts.
ya cause I have like 7named after me
Dear Fiona, Why does full membership expire after a year? I think it’s a little unfair. Webkinz are hard to find now and I don’t live in the US so I can’t even get them from amazon.com. It would be nice if we could at least still use kinzpost when our full membership expires. Also, I had an idea that once people have 10 or more webkinz on one account, their membership won’t expire. Is this something you guys would consider? Thanks!
there are no more plush coming out so you wont have to worry about finding pets. just go to estore and get virtual pets now.
Nettne2…I heard about that, but it makes me sadden to hear this because I like having the physical plush not just the virtual pet. SugarP I totally agree…currently I have over 40 pets (about 10 from free virtual pet codes), and obviously webkinz has not been around for 40 years–i didn’t know about the full membership thing until my deluxe expired and i was no longer considered deluxe of full…it irritated me so much. Maybe webkinz should keep like an activity log for players with more than 10 or 15+ pets (where it has a continuous full membership) and when a user reaches 6 months or a year of no activity revert them to the not full membership status.
That’s a pretty good idea! I splurged a bit awhile back on some kind of sale and have spare plush, (they were cheap because they were from an original line) so this isn’t an issue for me, but I know that it is for alot of people. Hopefully they will eventually address it. I mean, moving rooms was something we’d been wanting for a while!
Since I’ve hit my pet maximum on my account, when I want full membership I just splurge for a Deluxe membership for a few months. But yeah, I sorta wish you could pay just for normal membership without buying another pet. My family’s full.
There’s a pet maximum? What’s the limit?
lol its gotta be like 100 or more idk
Thanks for answering my question Fiona! There’s not really a specific type of game I’d like to see haha. Anything would be good. :D
Hopefully one that doesn’t use arrow keys!
You got featured, Cheesecat! Congratulations! Ooh- how about a survey/quiz/test game? Who has the most Webkinz knowledge wins!!
Thanks MLP! :D I like that idea!
(I replied to this yesterday but it didn’t go through)
Hi, Fiona! Since my Webkinz’ house has grown, I’m having a hard time finding items in my many rooms–is there any chance of a “search” feature in the future? I’ve been trying to keep track on paper, but it’s very tedious. Thanks for all you do! :-)
Thant’s a great idea! I too have many rooms and it is very difficult to find what you need. It would be nice if we could sell unwanted rooms, because I have a lot of rooms that I purchased before we were able to move around, and now there just sitting there being useless. Or we could be able to doors around, because a lot of times they are in a very inconvenient spot.
**They’re not there. I had to put this because it would bug me Lol. Probably should have spellchecked better.
Great question, ImaPepper! I am having the same problem and think a search feature would be great.
omg I’ve had this thought a hundred times–thank you for ASKING it imapepper!! I have around 800 rooms and occasionally waste a ton of time finding a certain room when I have something to store there or want to confirm I already have an item. oh Fiona, please address this one–thanks, k.
I would LOVE to see a dollhouse view on our map. tha way we could see what is in our rooms when we are trying to find things. Right now we must go from room to room and it can take so long.
If we could look down into each room on the map and see what is inside that would be so helpful. With a search you would have to know the exact name. To search just for a sofa would pull up a list of names you might not know which one you need. Imagine searching for a chair! Trying to find a shirt in your dock is difficult even though they made a search for shirts!
I believe MyPage on Webkinz used to have a feature that allowed people to see certain rooms on your page but I feel like being able to search our rooms or see what a room looks like before visiting it would be very helpful. Thank you for asking Fiona this question about a “search” feature, Imapepper. Unless the coding has changed or is different, I would think that Webkinz programmers could add what you want and/or what I am describing in the future.
That particular feature only worked at the beginning. It mostly never ever worked for me.
Yes, please I would like this feature to happen someday! I’ve been having a hard time finding certain rooms as well! XP
I totally agree that we need an inventory search feature, one that covers both the inventory in our dock and the inventory in our rooms! Please! Please!! Please!!! Like you ImaPepper, I (I’m WW user Aleskar) have a huge, tattered “Webkinz” notebook that was quite impressive and effective “back in the day”, listing each of my rooms along with all of their respective inventories… but as I add items and reorganize others, something will inevitably slip thru the cracks. Even with my very organized, hand-written inventory, it’s difficult to find an item (I call it my “Webkinz Bible” and I use it to track everything; *Sapling and Pet Buddy Inventories, *Wish Factory, Jumbleberry Fields and Ganz World/Newz items, *trophies, *Super Beds, etc.) I wish we could “search” our dock and rooms by using a single or partial word, just as you can with our pet inventory. I can search my pets by pet name or by animal, (i.e., search “pig” and it shows flutter pig, guinea pig or blue piglet). (I REALLY wish we could “search” our estore accounts for items we’ve bought, but that’s a request for another day)! After playing and winning and buying items for 10+ years, it’s impossible to always remember if you own an item or not. To be able to easily search for a specific item within seconds?.. This could be one of the most valuable tools ever!!! Ohhhh, I really hope someone is listening to us… to this!!!!!
Hi, KimAA1214! I’m WW user Ilse2010. You made me chuckle as I read this–I kept detailed notes, lists, inventories, room theme checklists, etc. in a binder. Until it overflowed, splitting the spine and spilling into another binder…and another. It just got to be too much. And rearranging rooms? Dressing pets with clothing that’s in a dresser in a room? (Sigh…) I literally spent hours searching my rooms for the retiring Jumbleberry Fields prizes…I was certain I had a couple of them (I didn’t, lol). A room preview would also be nice, as other players have suggested; so I hope there can be some version of these in the future. It would make things so much easier to find.
Have heard this suggestion a few times, and absolutely LOVE it!
