Dear Webkinz Fans,
Two years ago we came up with an idea. An idea to make some big changes to Webkinz.com to prepare it for its second decade of online fun. That idea was affectionately known as Webkinz X. Our goal was to give your pets more life and more importance in your day-to-day Webkinz play, and furthermore, reward you for being a great caregiver to your family of pets.
After two years of hard work by the Webkinz team, including many long nights and weekends, Webkinz X has arrived.
What you will see is just the beginning. Over the next few months we will be dramatically increasing the ways to increase your Family Score, and teach your pets new requests so that you have more ways to care for them. It’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone, whether you’re a collector, a gamer, or just like playing in the room.
This first release of Webkinz X does have some issues. We have not made a release this large since… well since we first launched the game 10 years ago. Included in this release is a completely rewritten My Room. This new Room has built from the ground up to give us the ability to add new, exciting features to the Room, many of which you’ve been asking about for a long time.
As part of this rewrite, all 17,000+ items in Webkinz World had to be reworked for the new Room. While we got most of these items to work, some are not 100% perfect yet. Some items are not animating properly and other are missing their images. We know that these will be of concern to you, so we have a team dedicated to making these items right, and we will be making regular updates (every few days) until every item is done.
Please use the links below to see which items are not working properly. These pages will be kept updated with the latest information, so check them regularly. Additionally, some popular features are currently disabled (Pet Actions) or changed (Gardening) as we continue to make improvements to our new Room. All of these features will be returning to how you know and love them. Thank you for your patience as we make these important and exciting changes to Webkinz World. The future has arrived!
Cheers,
The whole team at Webkinz World.

Wow I hope changes are made to the pets care they take WAY TOOOO much food. You have to feed them 10-20 items before you can get the days activities done. It doesn’t make it to fun.
And with over 20 pets i could never get all there hearts full so thats disappointing. Wow i wish so many changes wouldnt have happen at once. I just dont know so far if this is worth paying for a deluxe membership. So far its not as fun
I really hope that someone is fixing the hunger meter, because I am a free player and I can’t buy food because I have too much stuff in my dock.. My pets are very sad and I don’t know what to do to make them happy… Somebody could help me till the meter will fix?
webkinz team , webkinz is not adding and subtracting correctly , i am losing kinscash. please please look into this. i work hard for the kinscash
How in the heck do you take care of your garden? I NEED TO HARVEST SOME FOOD!
the things you put back in my dock.You’d better remember where they came from and please do put them back where they belong. I have so many rooms I won’t remember where they came from.
What does “awaiting moderation” mean? Gramkins
I don’t like my pets calling me by my real first name, nor pets I’m not playing with demanding things. When my sons were young, they knew to never demand anything. Asking nicely might work, but might not. Demanding gets you no where at all with me. I do not try to make you like me. GRAMKINS
The hearts of my pets are emptying to 0% at midnight. This has happened two midnights in succession. Prior to midnight they were full. My understanding is the hearts would empty 25% – not 100%.
Hi. I LOVE!!!! Webkinz X! But i’m having some problems. whenever I go to the “Trading Room” on “KinzChat Plus” I can’t text. if you could plz fix this I would really appreciate it! and also whenever I trade I try and bring up a item and it says “This item can not be traded” if you could fix this I would again really appreciate it. Thank You! xBlueAvenue
Thanks for all your hard work and putting up with our anxieties, frustrations, and fears. I look forward to seeing the difference Tuesday will make and hope for the best…change can be difficult to accept, but the larger screen is worth it in the end once everything is back (like my invisible doubloon in my dock–I hope). I have been afraid to check on my birthday cake collection and have to trust that when I do, all ten years will be there!! Thanks again–and the prizes that open out of the ball are the coolest–both delivery and content-wise. BEST of luck on Tuesday–and then get some sleep (wink;)….oh and some food, too… -k.
