22 Pets should be the total maximum if I remember right ^^

No, 20 is the maximum. You can only have 22 if you had 20 when the price was lowered and free slots were given out.

What Saga said. The only way to get 22 slots is if you had 20 slots when the two free slots were given out. Or you would have 21 if you had 19 slots at the time.

Basically, if you don't have 22 slots now, you will never get 22 slots. The most you can get is 20.

So is there a way of getting more then 5 if you are not a gold user?

No it's not Lamb.

Only if you are able to get your hands on the plushies that can give you extra slots. And those plushies are expencive, if they are availeble in sp.

Free slots? I totally missed that one. Ah well, 20 pets are also a nice amount of pets to have. .... But 2 extra would have been great.
