Ella McWoof here! With your help, I’ve sniffed out some important information about the X-citing new project, Webkinz X!
In my previous Newz story, I told you all about Family Score. Before that, I told you about the Pet Care Heart and said that the fastest way to fill it was responding to Pet Requests.
Now, in my EXCLUSIVE SCOOP, here’s more information straight from the TOP SECRET documents!
The main goal of Webkinz X is to make your pets feel more alive and interactive, and to make them more central to the way you play. Currently, if your pet asks for something, the only reward for responding is boosting their Happiness, Hunger, or Health meters.
With Webkinz X, when your pet requests something, you’ll also earn a big boost to their Pet Care Heart! You’ll have to be quick though—in order to get the boost you’ll have to respond to the request within a certain amount of time. A timer will appear over your pet so you’ll be able to see how much time you have remaining.
What your pet requests will depend on how much you’ve played with them. The more times you fill up their heart, the smarter they will get, and soon they will start making more specific requests, along with a wider variety of requests.
For players that have multiple pets, once you finish filling up your active pet’s heart, another pet will let you know that they have a request. You can either switch right away to that pet and begin filling up their heart, or you can wait until you are ready to switch. That pet’s request won’t start until you switch to them. Only one pet at a time will make a request.
Because you can only get KinzCash and Family Score bonuses for filling up to 10 of your pet’s hearts, only a maximum of 10 pets will make requests on a given day.
Stay tuned to my column on Monday, June 22nd and I’ll reveal MORE about the exciting secret project, Webkinz X!
So, fellow detectives, what do YOU think about Webkinz X so far? Let me know in the comments below!

I must say the more I hear about webkinz x, the less it appeals to me. I love to spend time decorating and collecting things from challenges and floaties. I do not look forward to whining pets. I love the prizes, but I probably won’t get many because I do not want to spend my time just feeding and tending to my pets. I never got zums just because I heard how much work it was to make them happy and now it sounds like Webkinz x will be another zumwhere.
I have 1 Zum it takes about a 1/2 hour . It likes special toys and special food. But there is an easy list of these ahead of time. Mostly they like any toy and food. I do like the rewards there but it is so very slow to get enough point for rewards.
im so happpppppppppppppppppppy man i wish it can come faster wall the ewbkinz system is down
Me too, try a different browser. Safari is working for me today.
So with this new system I’m going to be forced to do things and activities that I normally wouldn’t do? There’s a darn good reason I don’t play alot of the games in the arcade, it’s because I CAN’T play them just as there is a darn good reason I only do select activities at the webkinz school and employment office, because I CAN’T do them either. I’m sorry to say to but it really looks like I’m being driven off willy nilly off a game I love and adore without so much as a by your leave. :-(
We’re not forcing anyone to do anything. Continue to play however you like. If you don’t want to respond to the Pet Requests, you don’t have to. They are not mandatory. We will not block any of the game if you don’t. Pet requests are simply a way to better connect with your pet and to earn a new set of prizes by taking care of them.
Hi Davids1lilpixie, I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised. The point of this is to entertain people, not drive them away. I’m confident that our pets won’t whine or be spoiled or drive us crazy or take up all our playing time with endless requests, that makes no sense & why would Ganz do that? It’s just going to be another way to win cool stuff, if you choose to participate. And I totally sympathize about not being able to do certain games, classes & jobs. Some of them are very challenging to downright impossible for me. I have to ask my teenagers for help on some of the timed challenges, or I’d never be able to finish them. But still, I have a good time on here, & I intend to continue doing just that!
I’m excited for Webkinz X, I hope it gets released sooner in the summer rather than later so I can get a head start on family score. It won’t be easy getting enough time on Webkinz during senior year, haha. People kept comainin about how they didn’t want Webkinz to change, but guys, look, it’s hardly different at all. Like every other update Webkinz has had in the past 10 years, (aside from the clubhouse one maybe, or making regular member themes deluxe only..) Webkinz is doing nothing but improving. I’m glad ganz is putting so much effort into Webkinz.
This is so X-citing! I love how everything is laid out. I can’t wait to learn about the new top secret. I could see what it was though ;) LOVE it! ~Spokanegirl7
Important question though: What about our pet background for Deluxe members? I love Pinky’s northwoodsy background, it’s perfect
looks like that’s going away.
When I first read pet requests, I thought it meant that we could request a pet to be made XD
XD that would still be awesome though
Some folks and me some days have terrible LAGS ;/
Including me, now that FireFox no longer is able to support this site, as of 2 days ago. ???
Sounds like a ZUM !! I HOPE they request things we have already or in our dock. OR this could get hard to do fast :(
i have over 200 pets and i only use one of them so to me this seems ridiculous
I have 1 pet in my garden and seperate pets in each holiday and season areas of my small city , I have close to 100 pets, By my summer camps and parks I have a few pets but to make it easier I will put a few in BUNK beds in rooms next to each other so 10 pets are easy to find. I have sinks and wash tub baths in my gardens already. Good thing 10 pets in all there is we can do. Sounds like its going to take some time to fill each’s heart meter.
i think they’ve already thought about accounts with huge numbers of pets. i think ur ok even if you only play one of them ever. ud just get more points for filling ur hearts. (Avzora)
