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!

Ugh, this is going to be difficult . . .
I think more time consuming than any thing. It’s plain and simple for me when there are Challenges and the Dailys or requests like the HEARTS they will ALWAYS come 1st. I wont fill hears stuff till my reguler stuff is done. So somedays there are just not enough hours. I help 10 people and this Berry Fest begins at 2 or 3 am just to be able to help every one at least some. I do wan’t time for FLOATYS in WEBKINZ NEWZ. So I hope filling each HEART METER won’t take forever. I cant feep pets when I do ZUMS and thar is 1/2 HOUR or more just there feeding them.
My nap is calling .
I think that it will be fun but I’m sure there will parts of Webkinz X that I will like better and some that I will not like at all!
probably true for all of us. (Avzora)
That sounds horrible!!! I’m definitely deleting my account after this! >:(
hiya, unicorn2910! please don’t delete your account until you try webkinz x. i’ll miss u. ur a good friend. ok? (Avzora)
I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about Webkinz X, but I’ve also seen a lot of people really excited about it. Personally i’m not opposed to change, as long as all the features about that make Webkinz Webkinz are still there. All this stuff you’re adding for Webkinz X is only to make it better and give us more prizes/rewards and I love that! Thanks so much Ganz!! Keep up the good work. – Madman with a Box ♦ ♥ ♦
Will they appear that big or smaller on the screen?
OMgosh this reminds me of the pet-sitter JOB (LOL!)…. Most special correspondents, (i.e. Gennelle and Mike), could you please pass on this idea to the academy people: I have made the comment that b/c of today’s super-high computer speeds, that some of us are destined never to get our diplomas at the Academy (even though in real life I have many, to include a doctorate)… They have “ASSURED ME” that there is no problem and that people DO IN FACT GET THROUGH the levels, etc. My only pet I send is now a Senior (as we have been doing this for so long, perhaps) but I still need over thirty successes at each thing to move a level and I cannot even pass one more single class of many area at the tremendous speed of my internet connection. It would be so nice to get a diploma for my one pet who has been the designated “student” all these YEARS!” Any advice (or help with the powers that be) would be greatly appreciated!! TYVM :)
WOAH! THIS IS LIKE SOOOOO NEAT! Gennelle, will going to trades fill your pets heart meter, when weaken x starts?
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY
Well I don’t see this new way of playing to be any fun. I want to do what I want when I want when I’m on. I’m not going to have to be told I have to play this or play that I have over 200 pets just on one account along and I also have 4 other accounts. I only do certain things on some of the accounts. I do not have time to play all day just so I can take care of ten pets that is 40 pets I would have to play with each day. This is not going to happen. I would rethink this new webkinz X. Count me out I’m sure many others feel the same way.
I understand what you’re saying, but ganz has said in previous posts that all this stuff they’re adding isn’t really necessary in order to play and for your pets to be happy/healthy. All this stuff they’re adding is optional if you want to do it or not, if you don’t, your pets won’t meters won’t go down, but if you do, it just helps you earn prizes/points. So even though you have so many pets spread across 4 accounts, you don’t have to do all this stuff they’re talking about with all of your pets. you can do it with some if you want, but you don’t have to. There is no penalty for not doing it, but if you do do it, you are just closer to earning a prize. I hope this helped to explain it. – Madman with a Box ♦ ♥ ♦
OK just THINK OF THIS OUTSIDE THE BOX its preparing you to be a parent. They ALWAYS especally with babies have to put the child 1st. PATIENCE is the KEY STAYING CALM take a DEEP BREATH and don’t talk till you think of what you really want to say . If you babble kids will turn parent off and won’t even listen. Till they get 22 and finally see the old folks did know a few tricks and were not crazy as they felt they were. SO MANY RULES AS AN ADULT and there ALWAYS being changed by the government. You will need PATIENCE like it seams this is teaching you. It’s better than having to carry a BABY EGG and pretend it need to be fed and cared for !
it sounds pretty interesting. I like to have different things. but, since I have 310 pets; I am wondering about this going down 25% each night ? I am not too sure about that part.
yeah. idk about that part. 25% seems like a lot . . . . guess we’ll have to wait and see? or will u explain, Gennelle? Steve? thx!
