Fan Mail with Fiona

My darlings! I’m back with more of your Webkinz questions. To read my previous columns, click here!

Hi Fiona,

Why didn’t I get a new room for my new pet I adopted yesterday? It was a pink and white kitty and I had to buy a room for it with Webkinz money.

Sounds like an adorable new pet you have there! It also sounds like your kitty is your 11th adoption, because after 10 adoptions, you no longer receive a new room with each pet. The free rooms are there to help you get started on your Webkinz house as you first grow your family, and then they stop because we don’t want you to get bogged down with rooms you don’t want. Instead, you have more control over what size rooms you want to get and when!

Hi there, Fiona! While I was completing a quest in the Adventure Park, I had to go to the Fish King’s Room. In there, there was a decoration that had the initials “R.M.S.” on it. Does it have and significance or is it just a fun bonus added to the room? Thanks!

Great question! I had to do some digging for this one, but we believe the artist was inspired by the term “R.M.S.” from the seafaring world, which means “Royal Mail Ship”. In the 1800s, this term was used for English ships carrying mail (a whole ship?! I just have my own two wings!) around the world. So it’s just a fun sea-inspired bonus to the Fish King’s room!

Who is Tinker in ‘Mazin Hamsters?

– wonderpets2040

Good ol’ Tinker! Tinker is a ‘Mazin Hamster who was meant for an old Amazing World promo that never ended up happening (this sometimes occurs, despite Nuts’ and Bolts’ best efforts). One day we may remove the text. Speaking of ‘Mazin Hamsters, we made an announcement recently about technical changes to the game that you can read here, too.
