It’s me, Fiona, back for another round of fan mail! As always, for my past answers, click here!
Dear Fiona,
Can you please make a Norwegian hooded rat? Rats are amazing and friendly creatures and you don’t have any rat plushes. Sincerely, -Kitty
Thanks for your letter, Kitty! I certainly wish I could pick the pets that come out, but I will hand deliver your suggestion to the plush department! With any luck, you may see a Norwegian hooded rat some day!
Hi Fiona! I was curios, when will the TVs work again? I really enjoyed the shows. Also, do you know if there will be another writing contest again soon? I love those! Can you win more than once in the writing contests and random pet draws?Thanks! – JuliettaRose11
Hello, dear! I hear there are some pretty bigplans for the TVs, so when they do come back, they’ll be cooler than ever! I can’t give you an exact timeline for that, unfortunately, but with any luck we’ll be seeing it later this year. As for writing contests, I’m sure Sally Webkinz will be planning another one soon — you’ll just have to keep your eye on the Contest page! Writing contests are judged and random pet draws are just that.. random.. so it’s certainly possible to win more than once, if you’re lucky!
Hi, Fiona! I hope your feathers aren’t too icy! It’s only 9 degrees here today! Brrr! I was wondering if there are any plans to change the prizes on the Wheel of the Month? I’ve already got everything on there and the only thing I still want is the extra spin on the Wheel of Wow. Thanks! – Wycklyn
Thanks for your question, Wycklyn! As far as I’ve heard, there have already been a few changes to the Wheel of the Month, and there will probably be more in the future. You may notice that Balloon Dartz and Token Balloon Dartz also have some new prizes. Happy playing!
Have more questions? Ask them below and you might be featured in the next edition of Fan Mail with Fiona!
That’s exciting to hear about the TV plans! The only place my pets have been able to watch TV is at the Webkinz Stadium while waiting for a competition to start so I’m really looking forward to them working again in the pets rooms
Dear Fiona, Whatever happened to the talks that Cowabelle and her friends had!? -Tails
Dear Fiona, It was mentioned with the release of Webkinz X that we would soon be able to move and remove doors in our rooms, and that we will be able to search for things in our dock by name. Any idea when these updates will be put in place? ~Iva44 aka Frizzlellines
Also what level do you have to be on in order to achieve the minimum level of classes for competing in the Running Race? It still says my pet is *Slow but Steady* although he’s on level 4 in Speed, 3 in Strength, and 5 in Agility?
Uhh, I’m not sure. Maybe they all have to be level 5. I can’t remember what my pet’s says.. but all of hers are level 5 and I usually do well I running.
Dear Fiona, why are there so many limitations for people outside of the US and Canada? It seems like I can’t participate in all the fun because I’m in another country. =( Will these eventually change, or will they always be this way? Also, do you think that the Webkinz plush toys will soon be sold in other countries too? Thanks! ~FoxesRule612 =^^=
I wish they could make a Silver Fox or a Grey Fox…that would be so cool! We need more realistic ani als besides dogs and remakes of originals, no?
Please make a post that lists the new prizes in things such as balloon darts and other wheels. I dont want to feel like i could have missed something.
We absolutely need more realistic animals for Webkinz Pets! Some of the more recent pets look very cartoonish and not realistic at all.
I8 really like cartoony pets (I draw cartoon stuff all the time) but I think it’s time they make some more realistic pets. Although I do not think they will bring back the Sigs (and yes, what great pets they were) that doesn’t mean they should totally stop making realistic ones altogether, does it?
We need more Signatures, that’s what we need! The Sginature line needs to start up again so we can have more REAL, QUALITY, UBER SOFT stuffed animals. Ahhh, like a Signature Shetland Sheepdog! <3 I would die for a Signature Sheltie.
Same here emi! Omg, that would be my dream webkinz! They really need to make sheltie! :D
Dearest flying mailwoman Fiona, will the Signature line ever come back? Will there ever be more Signatures made?? If not, will they ever get more expensive Signature webkinz (anything above 35$ elsewhere) in the Ganz eStore??? I miss the Signature line sooo much. There were so many more amazing pets that could have still been made with the quality and softness of all Signature plushes. -emiemiemiemiemi
We should all make a list of awesome realistic exotic pets and send it to Ganz so they could get ideas for new pets and not something like, “Sweet Chipmunk” or “Lovely Fox” cause those ones looked kinda cheesy if ya know what I mean. We all have these great pet ideas so we should all share them so someone can send the ideas to Ganz :)
I actually like the Lovely Fox to be honest. But yes, I defiantly agree that Ganz seems to be running out of ideas. Since I don’t live in the States right now, do they still sell plush pets in stores? Because it sounded like you can only buy them online now….
Wowww TV plans?!?! That’s awesome!!! I’ve always wanted new stuff for the TVs!! I hope they keep the old stuff alongside the new stuff though, so then everyone can enjoy the updates and the nostalgia stuff. I can’t wait!! :D
CONGRATS JULIETTAROSE11 ON THE FEATURE! ~XD Xp (aka iva44, frizzleliz, etc.)
Fiona When will we be able to add our zumbuddys to our pet again? I am also still missing my Mothers Day 2-tier flower fountain from my room? Do you think webkinz will change up the clothing in Supermodelz? Will webkinz ever bring back the walk the runway in the clubhouse? that was fun
Oh no…. “Big plans”…. Also, if § makes a rat Webkinz, I hope they’ll bring the Lil Kinz back along with it. I mean, I think they should make Webkinz that are exclusively Lil Kinz again. It seems weird to have a rat the size of a wolf…. Rodents of Unusual Size.
Yep, I can imange it now…”LOOK OUT A GIGANTIC RAT!!!” Nah. They will have no choice but, to make it small…Well, They do have a choice….Nevermind.
My guess for the Big Plans involving the T.V.’s is that § will probably add a couple new shows, or just completely change the shows in general. Man, I have watched the same shows foreeeeeever. It’s about time for some new shows, talk about re-runs! Oh, and maybe a “My Page” update would be nice too? *hint.
I hope they have Webkinz Movie Maker contests. And I hope that when a Webkinz player wins the contest their show will appear on webkinz TVs.
Those videos we can create with the Webkinz studio on webkinz.com. they used to have contest like that so I hope they do it again.
I’d say so too. I think thy mean new shows for the TVs. Yeah, My Page could use an update! It would be nice anyway. ~sorry I left when we were chatting (,WOODSY!) yesterday. I got banned for five minutes and the park wouldn’t load..
Yes!!!! That would be wonderful!!! I’ve been WONDERING and wondering about that for AGES!!! Re-update My Page!!!! Give it a makeover so we can use it again! =D
Yeah, I wonder what she means by “BIG plans”….Ummmm.
Pokekinz! =P … We need to talk in the park soon. And I mean need. Can I meet you today around 4-5pm? Sometime this afternoon.. evening??
I agree! i really wanted a rat because i had one once but he passed away:’( and i really wanted a pet for him. ~Kitty
Yessssssss!! LOVE the Princess Bride! Such an awesome movie (and I heard the book is cool, too!) One of our favorites! Rodents of Unusual Size…inconceivable!! XD
Lol… INCONCEIVABLE!
Yusss!!!! “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” And emi…. Yeah, so I only just got back on now, soo…. Hey, maybe I’ll se you in the park or something.
Oh my gosh! The other day in class, my teacher said, “Inconcivable!!” for whatever reason, and then he mentioned The Princess Bride. Everyone was staring at him, but I was like, “I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!”
I know, right?! That movie is SO quotable!!
Totally inconceivable.
Oh! Princess Bride joke. I understood that reference…
Well, I know that most of the time “big plans” has turned out to be squash, but I’m staunchly optimistic about this one. New TV shows would be so cool! (I mean, granted, I’ve been “staunchly optimistic” about a lot of things that turned out sour, but what can I say? It’s my nature. :P)
Also, if you see this Pokekinz, I left a message for you on page 133 of “Meet My New Pets”. I dunno if you saw it, but I figured it would be better to talk on the forums instead of the comments section :P
AGG I MEANT 31. dang, that was a mistake. But yeah, page 31 of Meet My New Pets! :D
yup! Doing meh replies.
Yeah! I loved that!! I liked rating other people’s cool fashion designs! =D But then we would have to exit the Clubhouse to dress our pets?
Dear plush department, you guys should make a love googles, purple googles, and other new googles haha
XD a purple googles sounds CUTE! :D
YES! More googles! I like the idea for a love googles, but I also think they should make a orange one, yellow one, green one, purple one, and rainbow one. Oh, and I forgot, a red one too.
Go go go goolgles!! Haha, I like that song! It’s cute! And yes, they need to make more goolgles! Hey, guess what? If I ever get a Google’s, I will name it Google. You know why??? Bevasue I have another pet named Firefox! XD who is a fox, by the way.
XD cool, FoxesRule612! :D
They do have a rainbow googles, it’s the candy googles!!!!!!!
I agree, huggablehoneys4ever! I’d love to see more Googles plush! And you know what else? I’ve found a Classic Style Popcorn Cart for you! When you see this message, please leave me your WWID and I’ll send you a FR from one of my side accounts – I don’t want anything in return – I’m just thrilled to help you complete one of your rooms – You’re such a talented designer and I love seeing your rooms featured here on the Newz – May you continue to inspire all of us with your gorgeous designs :) ~Cheese
Oh my gosh Cheese, that’s so nice!! Thank you so so much!! I can’t believe you found it, I’ve been looking for ages. My username is huggablehoneys4ever, I think we’re already friends from your main account.
I logged on Webkinz this afternoon and saw your gift, but you deleted me before I could send a thank you! Thanks so much though, if we see each other in the clubhouse this weekend I’ll have to give you something. I’m already working on a vintage candy shop type room for the cart!
I wish I had all the googles. I really need a pink and blue Googles.
I’ve got the regular googles, lil kinz googles, blue googles, and pink googles. So I used to have them all….till the candy googles came out….I’m not really a big fan of that one. The only problem with them making a googles In every other color of the rainbow,(like I said they should) Is that in order to make them Match with the older ones,(as I would want them too) they would have to use the older fur, which they haven’t used on a pet in ages. But then…anything is possible…and, anyways, I’d be happy with any new googles, no matter what the fur looks like. Cause I Loves them! =D
I just ordered A Pink Googles and a gold and white cat.
Googles yes more googles they are cute and some of my favorite Webkinz ever XD
Oh! We need a Norwegian hooded rat! It is ADORABLE!! :D
Yes! Also I’m part Norwegian… My dad is Norwegian my mom is Italian.
Okay… I just saw a pic of an Norwegian hooded rat. I’m literally BAWLING! Like crying! He is soooooo cute!
haha. I am partly Norweigan too! XD
wow! cool!
Hey Fiona! I really love sending my pets to the Kinzville Academy. I love the classes that are available now but I would love it if some new classes were added. Are there any plans to add more classes to the Kinzville Academy? Also, I love the new feature that allows you to put furniture for outdoor use indoors and vice versa. I was wondering if there will ever be a feature that allows you to move your rooms to different places in the house. Will this ever be possible? Thanks, doingmydailies
Moving rooms to new places in webkinz houses is a wonderful idea and I hope Webkinz will consider this soon.
Wing doors is also something webkinz should consider definitely. The doors seem to always be getting in the way of the room design.
I mean moving not wing.
I agree about the school. I am Deluxe and I can only play once. I’m only getting one try a day. When I started back in 2008 we got the medium room when we started. Over the years I’ve bought to many things for my pets and needed larger rooms. In the middle of my rooms most of them are empty. I wish we could group them better?
I want a rat too! People think they are weird looking… but I think they are the mouse 2.0!!! :D
Rats are NOT weird! I agree puffapuffle2! Rats are AWESOME! :)
I love rats and SNAKES! I love snakes! And scorpions and tarantulas! I held a scorpion, a cockroach and a tarantula! Well… I think I held a snake once too. I love RATS and SNAKES! But u don’t blame -emiemiemiemiemi-! They can cause rabies but, I still love e’m!
Neat ChristianCowgirl! Rats and snakes don’t bother me much, although I personally wouldn’t wish to be near a poisonous snake, but I’m super terrified of scorpions and tarantulas!!! O_o (yes, I’m afraid of almost all insects and arachnids)
I love rats and mice! and snakes…. mostly. Spiders? Eh… not really. But i really like bats! AWW! and foxes! and wolves! and ANY animal!
Well yeah, they took all his poison out! Thankfully! Well… I don’t blame ya! That’s your opinion! A lot of ppl are scared of them too!
Oh, well that’s good! And thanks for understanding :) For some reason spiders and most other bugs, well, they can scare me a lot. Especially spiders. I think it’s the way the crawl or something but their movement really creeps me out 0_o But hey, though, it’s cool that your brace enough to hold them! That’s one thing I could never do.
Sorry, I meant to say “brave”, not “brace”
the spidersa weren’t my favorite! But i do like snakes! AWWWWWWWWWW! Bats! i LOVE BATS!
That’s ok. Who went to Insect Tropilas? It’s great there! It makes ya not be afraid of scorpions and Tarantulas! That’s where I held them!
Wow, I HATE spiders, Mice and rats are cute I think, though I probably wouldn’t want one as a pet, and I’ve only come across a snake I liked once. Her name was huggy bear. She was this huge yellow and white snake…I forget what they’re called…and I got to hold her. She lived at some reptile place, and we saw her at a thing that was at our local dog park. That was 2014 I think. And then last year they were at the dog park thing again. I was so exited, I wanted to see her again! But then…the people told us she had died of cancer!! Nooooo!! I miss huggy bear. :’(
@ilovemoonie Was is a snow corn snake? Those are so nice! I held one once (with a lot of other people, it was big haha). Have you ever seen a jumping spider? I haven’t seen one in person but they look like little kittens in spider form :’D
They should make tarantula and scorpion Webkinz! I love them, there super coool , and they’ve make a few snakes, and the Norwegian rat is SOOOO cute!!! Please add them Ganz!!!
Ratatouille!? xD Remember the movie!? The Rat Chef!? xD
That’s my second favorite movie! My first is THE nightmare before Christmas! With Jack the Pumkin King :D I love the new prizes on the wheels and I still love the older prizes too. But on the Wheel of the Month it would be great if there were new prizes. On the Super Wheel can you offer prizes only? I almost ALWAYS get money and it makes me so sad& disappointed. But.. My mom always says “You get what you get & you don’t throw a fit! ) so with that Thank you for everything! Even if it’s money. I’m sure there are many others who wish the Super Wheel only had prizes.
I know! Rats are so cute! I don’t really know why people are afraid of them.
Err… RABIES. They don’t seem very pretty to me.. =P But I don’t care if they are Webkinz, because it’s a Webkinz and not real. xP
YESSSS I WANT A MOUSE AND I’M GOING TO NAME HIM REEPICHEEP!!!!!! (if you don’t get the reference there, watch the Voyage of the Dawn Treader- IT’S AN AWESOME MOVIE!!!) I’m going to buy the lil’ kinz mouse probably… And then of course I would need a lion for Aslan! FOR ASLAN!!! (I’m addicted, as if you can’t already tell!!!) Webkinz and Narnia. AWESOMENESSSSSS!!!! :) <3 :)
Ooh! Kewl! Well… I’ve got a friend and he named his lion Aslan! From Narnia! I’m probably going to watch it! Right now I’m busy with ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and we are getting ‘the Hobbit’ ;)
Yeah _emiemiemiemi_… RABIES! But I like the rats at the pet store :) They don’t have rabies!
True true..but some people are afraid of even the ones without rabies! Like pet rats!
Okay, I guess. I’ll just say this.. I would not call them eye candy, like I would for an owl, fox, kitten, or puppy. Because they, they are adorable! =P
Aloso, thanks every one who commented. It forms love to rats!
They can still carry the plague too. Rabies or plague? Hard to decide which is which. Oh and the bald tails on rats just give me the creepy crawlies, So I’ll just stay with dogs and cats as house pets.
I don’t care for rats. It’s the tail that creeps me out. I love ferrets (as if you can’t tell LOL) but I have an old guy who has cancer and takes medicine that made all the hair on his tail fall out and now it is like a creepy rat tail. I love him but I have to hold him wrapped in his blanket because his tail creeps me out!
Whoa you have a pet ferret? Cool!
Rats are cool; I used to have a pet rat. And a snake. Snakes are fascinating to me. I love bats, too; but I find spiders too creepy. It’s their eyes, maybe. That, and that I can’t tell when they might bite……or crawl up my arm, lol.
Great questions guys and thanks for sharing Fiona!!! I didn’t know that TVs weren’t working. I guess I just don’t watch Webkinz TV very often. It’s really exciting that there are plans to make TVs even better!!!! I didn’t notice that Token Balloon Darts had new prizes. I guess I’ll just have to try and see what I win. I’ve never heard of a Norwegian Hooded Rat but it sounds really cute. I agree that Webkinz should have some rats. It would also be nice to have some more mice plushes!!!
Thanks for the info Fiona! Congratulations on getting your questions read everyone!
I was thinking the same thing JuliettaRose11! I hope the TVs will work again soon, as well as all the other interactive things, and I can’t wait for another writing contest! :D
Yeah me too! :)
Thanks for answering more great questions, Fiona! I can’t wait till the televisions work again! I hope none of the shows are gone, though. I couldn’t bear it if Chef Gazpacho’s show went away, although I do think it should be updated to include more recipes. Anyhow, thanks for answering more great questions! And congrats to everyone who had their questions featured! :D
Oh, and a Norwegian hooded rat plush would be cute! :D I looked up a picture of a real one online and it’s quite cute!
Okay! I just looked one up! I’m cruing! Sooo cute! Oh webkinz! U GOTTA, and I mean GOTTA! Make this webkinz!
I know, right? It was soooo adorable!!! I really really really hope that webkinz makes one!!!
:)
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Yes! Chef Gazpacho’s show is COOL! :) I would be so sad if that left…
Yeah, same here Femnec. I would be so upset if his show was gone :( Luckily, I don’t think that’ll happen :) at least, I hope it doesn’t!
Yeah, agreed!
Yes!!!!!!! But half the time he ends up making blue gak… XD Maybe he forgot the recipe or something! :)
Oh yeah, I keep turning him on and off… Until he gets a good recipe! Then I follow his recipes! They really turn out good! Br I hate gunk and gak! Well… On webkinz X my pets love it! By on webkinz Original they HATED IT!
Haha yeah chef gazpacho does make some mistakes! XD I think he is mad at Daisy Doe…. :P
That’s weird! I wonder why our pets like it now…. And actually, I think it’s kinda funny when Chef Gazpacho makes gunk XD Sometimes he says “oh no! Mamma’s gonna be mad!” and for some reason, that always cracks me up :D
And haha, thats funny, Fennec! :D well, everyone dies make mistakesq! Oops, accidentally added a “q” to the end of “mistakes”. Well, there’s s mistake right there! Haha! And yeah, I probably couldn’t blame him if he was angry at Daisy. I’m kinda (okay, more than kinda) angry at her as well. But anyhow, that was really funny!
And oops, I said “dies” instead of “does”. Well, I guess that’s another mistake right there
Ha! I love when he says that!
Yeah me too, TaffyKitty! :) *don’t leave me, my precious Chef Gazpacho! XD
Haha! Yeah, I really hope he doesn’t leave! He’s one of my favorite webkinz characters and I think it would be, well, in the least it would be highly upsetting.
Yeah! I feel like Daisy Doe is REALLY trying to take his place. No offense… but i REALLY think she is… uh… not so good. :o
Yeah, same here Fennec. :/
Yeah, but Fennec, I don’t feel like daisy is taking her place. at first everyone didn’t really like her but, She is trying real hard to fit in Webkinz World. I mean, I know when she came she opened a cart…blah blah…tried to take over WW and be the mayor….A year has pasted since then, I now have a lot of respect for her. In fact my aunt made gulten free Mac & Cheese…Gulten is wheat…and farmers puts a spray that makes bugs not want to come near..blah blah….Anyhow she is just doing her dream…being a chef…My friend he has a pig named…Love cook…Don’t ask. His dream is to share food that he makes to people that has none…and let me tell you this his food is BEYOND PURE AWESOME!…Anyway sorry for the LONG reply. just what I think.
Daisy dream is to be a chef 2. Daisy isn’t copying him. she is just doing what she does best COOK! Have you ever seen master chef…That is where kids, adults, ect come and show their cooking skills. +Not so good!? have YOU (Not your pet) every tried her food!? It looks good to me…I am literally drooling…
I’m not against Daisy following her dream, no way! Achieving your dream is a great thing to do! I just feel that, ya know, webkinz barely focuses on Chef Gazpacho anymore. The last time I saw any post featuring him, was probably a year or two ago. I felt like Daisy kinda replaced him in the fact that she’s now in the lime light and he’s not. Plus, no offense, but I’m not a big fan of her food (I’m not into vegetarian cuisine), although I do think it’s a good thing to eat healthy food. I just feel like Daisy is taking it to the extreme, you know, since she wanted to get rid of all junk food and meat items. Anyhow, It makes me kinda worried because webkinz has gotten rid of chefs before, like chef Sophia, so they could get rid of Chef Gazpacho if they really wanted to. But that’s just my take on this. Everyone has their own opinions :)
Sorry about the long comment above, tails. I can be kinda opinionated and stuff sometimes. :/ Anyhow though, you did make a few good points in your comment and I know this is unrelated, but your “kewl” catchphrase is awesome! :D It’s starting to catch on and now even I’m using it! It’s so cool! Or should I say kewl! :D
+TaffyKitty12 Lol on second comment XD
+TaffyKitty12 your comment is Kewl HAHAHA It Tried to otto correct me XD I just think is is Kewl otto correct Kewl
Hmm… I think you may be right, Tails! :) But I just feel like Webkinz doesn’t care much for Chef Gazpacho anymore. So…. sorry if i sounded mad! :)
