Congratulations to Webkinz Groundhog owners because this pet is retiring in February! This plush pet is officially sold out of our warehouse and no more will ever be made! If you see one at your local retailer you may want to grab it because this pet, along with it’s adoption gifts (the Woodland Burrow Bureau and the Two Seasons Cake), are now collector’s items!
Webkinz Groundhog owners can play the Counting Sailboats game EVERY Sunday in February and try to win a rare piece of clothing that can ONLY be won by playing the game. You can access the game from Today’s Activities:
Groundhog owners can also pick up a special gift box from Today’s Activities on Sunday February 22nd. Want to know what’s inside? We’re going to reveal what’s in the gift box RIGHT HERE on Webkinz Newz Sunday, February 15th!
What do you think is inside the Groundhog’s retirement gift box? Please leave your comments below…
Aww man. I was really hoping to get this pet. Anyway, congrats owners of this pet!
I have two! Both logged on to my account! This so sad that they will be gone but at least I have two more rare Webkinz!
oh no! I hope the ground hog does not see his shadow this year! Im glad I have one, his name is Phil like Punxsutawney Phil.
I think it’s going to still be winter because I live in the desert and it snowed at least an inch over the past two days. I haven’t gotten that much snow in a while.
Yay! I really was hoping this pet would retire! It’s so cute and soft, I can’t wait to see what’s in the retirement box.
this pet is so cute. i really wish i had this pet.
Awwh, the groundhog is so cute! I’m sad to see that it’s retiring :(
Cool, me and my sister both have this pet which is nice :) Does anyone one know when it was released?
Hi tennessefrogs2! The groundhog was released in January of 2009.
It was released in January 2009. If I had it, I’d name it Phil or Gibby .
Salutations TennesseeFrogs2! I just looked it up, the groundhog was released In January of 2009! I Think I have this pet also (:
Thanks for all the replies! I’m glad it’s kind of an older pet being retired. I don’t like it when they retire newer ones from like 2010,11. Congrats to everyone else who has this pet!
It was released around early 2009, if I remember correctly. :)
OMG!! I want one!! It’s awesome!!
It’s so cute!!!!! Why would they retire a cute one? Well, of course, all Webkinz are cute but can’t they retire a Webkinz that’s not as cute?
I get why Ganz would retire it this month though. Groundhog Day.
GREAT!!
I’ll be getting this pet with the 3000 points plus the extra 3000 points from Estore. And her name is Greta Groundhog from my book: Animal Pride Series: Greta Groundhog by Dave Sargent.
Yayyy I have the psi. :P
AWW that adorable little guy is retireing?! anyone want to give me the food?
I will let me know what your webkinz uswe name and I’ll give you some I have 650+ pets let me what others you’ll likr and I’ll send them over to ya!
Wow! 650+ pets!? That’s unbelievable! You have quite a collection! I find it amusing that the Groundhog is retiring the month of Groundhog Day. :)
Oh darn I don’t have that pet. :P Ah well, wut can you do? xD
I think I’v heard of that book.
I have a question about your new February pet. When are you going to say what it is? (It is the fiesta unicorn) Is is available on amazon? I have not seen any new pets on there. Why are you only making one new pet? I feel like webkinz is slowly ending! It is very sad!
Hey Checkersleopard! I think the Fiesta Unicorn may be able on Amazon pretty soon now… Not sure though and what a scary thought! I surely hope Webkinz doesn’t end! ); xOO O-O >: hehe lotta faces there
I hope Webkinz doesn’t end either. I’ve invested too much time into it (at least I used to). :) It seems to me that Webkinz’s heyday was around late 2011. Maybe it just seems that way to me, but I know that the best of Webkinz for me. As a member of Webkinz for over 6 years, I can definitely see a change from the good old days Webkinz and the present day Webkinz.
Yeah, me too. The best days of Webkinz seemed around 2010, 2011 ish. Haha I just got a notice saying “you’re commenting too quickly. Slow down”
I really want the retired pets because I am collecting the sailor clothes:) Anyone giving sailor away:(
