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!

when will it be coming out
I think this sounds like fun, and I love the prizes! They already ask to play games or go to the park, now you’ll be rewarded twice for doing what they ask – your pet will be happy and you’ll end up with a prize.
Aww! It appears the old dock is dissepearing! That was one of my favorite features! But, change could be nice I suppose… :3
Aww that’s too cute! I simply cannot wait! Thanks Ganz! My only request is to not make it 3d like ‘Mazin Hamsters because I have tried many different web browsers on my Mac but it will not let me use it. The message is that the software isn’t supported by my computer. :*( Anyways this Webkinz X looks amazing! It would be so cool if when you fed your pets the food would appear in your room and you could watch them eat it! -karminelover101 (Webkinz username jocelyngomez1)
Behind the top secret you can still kind of see the new dock. I am assuming the thunderbolt thing meant actions.
is there any way to *not* update to Webkinz X? i don’t really love it…
oh wait, nevermind! i understand it a bit more now that i’ve read the other articles. yay, this looks fun! but urgh, i wish the look of webkinz wasn’t changing
the new dock looks really cool and easier to navigate :o
I like how the pets are going to be more interactive then they were. And the pet requests remind me of the Mii problems in Tomodachi Life. You don’t have to do it, but it makes them happy if you do! ~theleeswan~
Dear Anybody with answers: When a pet that isn’t being played with has a birthday will it suddenly be put into the rotation? If not, how will we know to celebrate with them? Thank you for your help! ♥♥♥foxpaws♥♥♥
Gennelle, do you get family score for how many rooms you have?
That is a good question. I’m guessing probably not, but i could be wrong. ;)
