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.

Cool information! The “R.M.S.” thing was interesting (I love learning!) and the room thing was something I’ve been wanting to know. Thanks, Fiona! ;D
Omg this is so cool! this answers a lot of questions I had! Congrats to everyone who got their questions answered!!!
Hi Fiona, I was wondering why we couldn’t get all of the different hosts on our friends list like Sheldon. Some people aren’t deluxe members and they can’t go to vacation island. Why can’t we also get Cowabelle or Daisy doe or hosts like that?
Just add them as friends on your phone. Make sure to spell the names correctly. Debby Dragon is retired and no longer is on anyone’s friend list.
wah wah i miss debby… she was nice. i took a year long break from webkinz once. but my account got deleted so i created a new one and now im like stinkin rich… but i never noticed that the travel agency was gone until like a month. i miss that place cause non members could go to the vacation island if they had 1000 kinz cash.
Hi lolovesspiderman, even if you are not deluxe, you can just add them to your friends list by typing their name in the add friend section. You can do spaces for the hosts names. Like Ms. Cowoline. Or Tabby Von Meow. All of them would have the spaces. :) And Cowabelle and Daisy Doe have not been added to the hosts that can be friended. Ganz may add them soon though! :) (BTW, I like Spiderman too xD)
Kind of sad that they gave up on the whole ‘Tinker the hamster’ thing. Sounds kind of like the ‘moving doors’ idea that has floated around for years but never has happened.
Yeah, but Steve said they are working on it a while ago. The idea has been said before, but a few months ago, Steve said they were actually trying to do it! :)
I have a question! Are there any special hints you can give us about 2015?
Yeah, I miss those BonnieSueHeft. Those were fun. :)
yeaaahhh. I got a charmy thingy for that magical forest. =C I miss those too. [BRING IT BACK GANZ] <—
Cool piece of history thrown in there! I don’t think I ever noticed those initials! And to answer your question my9tailkinz, I don’t think that the gift boxes that come with our pets should stop at the twenty-fifth Webkinz. You only get a Super Bed Gift Box every ten pets, and I’m not sure about the Exclusive Gift Boxes, but I’m pretty sure I get them every time I adopt a pet. Most of the time though, they just contain a coin for 1000 Kinzcash. I have over 60 pets. ***MidnightQueen***
hmmmmmm I have hundreds of questions like: what happened when there was no deluxe and no G coins did the pets cost kinz cash or could you only adopt them????? When I adopted my 25th webkinz there was no gift box, does the gift boxes stop at your 25th webkinz?????????…………………………TO BE CONTINUED
Hi my9tailedkinz, when the ganz eStore first brought in virtual pets, there were already G coins. And also, I think you not receiving your gift box was a glitch, because I have over 25 webkinz, and I got all my gift boxes, so no it does not stop on the 25th. I hope I helped answer your questions! You can reply with your others if you would like, I’ll see if I know the answers. :) Hope you have a great day! :)
oh ok, so thats why i NEVER find tinker…i always thought tere was a door but it was locked for me and you had to finish some quest to unlock it XD
Sometimes you need to log out then in again to get a gift box. Like it’ll appear in your dock later:) I’ve adopted 148 pets and I’ve never lost a gift box lol
Lol TigerKinzKG! I thought that too! (Btw do you mind adding me? I am etncpink)
sure i’ll add you! ANYONE CAN ADD MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…my user is CatLoverKG btw…i ALMOST have 500 friends! that is a good thing and a bad thing…
no u have to but them with money deluxe and the ganze estore are kindof new no kinz cash
oh i meant buy typo
Back before Deluxe and the eStore were a part of Webkinz, the only way to accquire pets was by buying the plushies in real life and using their Secret Codes. :)
wha the wonder pets ???????? OK NOW THIS IS MAKING ME LAUGH SOOOOO HARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XD oh wonder pets I get it XD
XD NOW DO YA SEE IT
OH MY GOSH XD ….Wonder pets…. lol.. I like.. completely forgot about that since I was 6 or something.
I watched that show when I was little too!:) Ha, I actually don’t mind that much watching Curious George with my younger sibling!;)
Haha yeahh.. Some shows are really just for younger kids. really young kids.
Actually, when you’re older you notice extra details in a kid’s show that makes it a little bit funny, you should try it!;)
me and my 18 year old cousin, kaitlyn, make fun of the shows that my four year old sister watches. its pretty fun.
Yeah, Curious George is cute. :)
YA its a little kids show butt I still whatch it
i went to universal 2 days ago and they had a good curious george water park… the man who worked there drenched me and the other kids though… even worse i forgot to bring a swimsuit.
I know I like it!:) I’m kind of weird when it comes to TV shows for example I’m usually a girly-girl but I just LOVE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!!!!!!:D
Aaaah, that’s why I have never been able to find tinker!!! xD You should really get to fixing that, ganz! Lol! xD Congratulations to everyone having their questions answered by Fiona. :)
AHHHHHHHH YOU ARE THE 1ST
lol I was kinda curious about why I didn’t get rooms anymore too. WELL THAT EXPLAINS IT ALRIGHT.. Probably a good idea that they don’t do that anymore though.
Yah. I wondered that too, then I asked my friend who knows TONS of webkinz stuff. Not as much as me now though :) B) :{
No rooms after the 10th pet? Darn- I am 3 pets away!
Oh I’m so glad I read that question about Tinker! Unfortunately, Mazin’ Hamsters never gets updated. Oh well. Thanks anyway Ganz! XD
