I remember when I started webkinz. I got one from my bff and didn’t know what it was so I threw away the tag! lol! then I got one from my cousins and realized what I had done so I put the webkinz bunny on! (the one I threw away was a panda like mike!) then I got mad cause I didn’t know how to take the glasses off so I started forgetting to got on. Then awhile later I got a pig and put it on another account cause I didn’t know tht I could put more than one on an account! And the account with the pig I’ve had ever since!!!!!!!
I did something like that too! I made 2 separate accounts at first, but luckily someone told be about it. I was so sad about my one “lonely” Webkinz (Winky the Alley Cat) that we called Ganz. Luckily, I still had the used code, and I was able to transfer her to my main account! Thanks again Ganz for your support! ~K

when i adopted my first signature in early january of 2014
my cousins introduced me to webkinz when it first started and a good memory is that them my brother and i thought it was hilarious when you try to feed a non food item to your pet and it says id have a tough time chewing on that
thank you soo much snowflake pup queen for answering, now its working and luckily i didn’t need to clear my cache and thanks soo much for answering my questions Gennelle you guys rock! passwordn
Can you talk about how you decide what new items to make and maybe interview one of your artists? PS: AWESOME PODCAST!
That’d be cool if an artist came! :D
I have a question about Webkinz history. The Webkinz Newspaper homepage you go to as soon as you log in came out a couple of years after Webkinz started. What did users end up going to beforehand? Like, when they logged in, what did they see?
my webkinz user name is Felicty2014 Please add meas a friend
i love adopting and playing with webkinz on and off line
I love the new Webkinz Store!! And my favorite memory with Webkinz is when my first Webkinz pet arrived in the mail. My younger sister all ready had a Webkinz sea otter in 2008 in 2011 me and my other sister were Webkinzless and we saw the Rainbow Zebra ad. We loved it how pretty it looked. We got it 2 days later and every since have been Webkinz fans! (Other from the whole Deluxe thing :( ) But I love Webkinz and now have something around 10 Webkinz (one little pink poodles code was ripped of and stolen but we still got her!) And I just bought a Eluvaphant for my little sister on Valentine’s Day! Thanks again Webkinz!
I don’t like the whole “deluxe thing.” I can’t play half of my favorite games, my favorite room themes are “deluxe only,” and this is after I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on pets, clothes, etc. I really miss the old days. :(
