I forgot what you need them for. I know pumpkin patch in Oct. Battle quests, event challengers, Rock Paper Scissors, and what else?

I'm not sure you really "need" pets beyond those reasons. Most people have them to paint them lovely colors, use them for OCs, make stories or characters or treasures for them. I personally train, read and feed a core roster of nine permanent pets and have a floating amount of fosters that'll i'll eventually find a home for.

thanks for the info:) Nice you foster;)

Welcome! - Some people are also into pets for their names, some people have thing for dates and some for IDs. In case you go pet hunting. =0)

I can't remember how to feed my pets... :( My food won't even show up in my inventory. Is this a glitch? :(

click on the item in your Inventory, and if it's a food, the blue rectangle Feed to a Pet is an option near the bottom of the item box. It is below the Read to a Pet button, and above the Give to a Pet and Put in Pet Treasure buttons. Click the button.

I can't make any sense of food not showing up in your Inventory, I don't understand that. If a food doesn't show then nothing else should either. Have you tried putting a bunch of foods in your Inventory to see if they're all being blocked, or just the one you are looking at now?

staff just made a change to the coin machine, you now need a pet to use that.
