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.

my red velvet fawn’s suitcase won’t open
AvzoreGW, It’s not that you only sent one in mail, you probably did send 2 or 3, but the mail doesn’t send them all. Don’t worry if anyone doesn’t see all of the items that you may have sent say to yourself on a different account, they go back into your DOC.
NO I have sent myself Galactic Screens and they didnt all mail and they were not in any dock they we GONE FOREVER !!

i have had numerous problems with the screens freezing. I have followed Ganz’s instructions above. Is anyone else still having this issue?
Love webkinz, but really at wits end. The videos that pop up, stop everything all the time. I am on Chrome, haven’t seen one leaf and my messages are not going through. Time to reup deluxe and two other accounts wondering if it is worth it. Thank you to webkinz team but right now it is not so fun.
I need help. I have an item in the sell bar on the map page, I don’t want to sell, how do I get it out and back into my dock?
why am I not getting 10 points when my pets get out of bed once a day? Did it change or do I need to put in a ticket? I also heard that riding in a car will give them points, but I tried and nothing. Is it a particular car?
When are you going to fix the inground lap pool? I have 2 pools and i can’t see either one and i can’t remove them from my room! i know u have a lot to fix, but i spent a lot on this and i can’t buy another pool since i’m not deluxe :(
Ganz, thank you so much for all the work and changes you have put in to this update. It looks really good. I love the way you can really easily navigate Webkinz World, the Family Score Points, and especially the new way to move items around your room. These are fantastic improvements that have really enhanced my experience. Thanks so much for keeping us users informed on all the bugs that you are continuing to work out of the system.
