Lab ray does it often if you're pet is below lvl 5 I believe.
Hmm be patient when zapping. And on the bright side, while you wait, your pet's stats will be upped.
I believe you have to get to lvl 10 before you're safe from that one

Yep.. it's completely random. Just because its unhappy won't guaratntee the color change.
Yeah, I've also heard that it doesn't matter what their happiness level is. My friend got the RE and her pet was "joyful". Just in case though, I feed my pets smiley neggs.
Well that's pretty disturbing.
I remember the announcment about that Random Event leading us to believe that it was more of a punishment for people who didn't keep their pets happy. Not something that would be a terror to those upstanding neopians who are good to their pets.
Hmm, if your friend got that RE with a joyful pet, then there is something not right with it. I agree with B, that RE should really only affect pets who aren't being taken care of, not people who do all the right things and keep their pets healthy, happy and fed.
As far as the RE turning pets grey instead of blue...first, I agree with Azzie, people will start neglecting their pets, giving them broken toys and feeding them awful things so they can get the RE (not a good thing). I know that when a pet is unhappy now, the pet shows as unhappy or crying on your lookup. Maybe they should make it so the pet looks unhappy on your pet description.
And the price of the grey pb would probably drop. Part of the whole grey pet thing is that it's a rarer, more expensive color.
Personally, I don't like the grey pets. I don't want to look at the Neopets version of ziggy. All the grey pets need is a storm cloud sitting over their heads constantly raining on them!
Oh the lab ray? We are not friends right now! At least once a week my lab pet goes back down to level 1. All I've gotten for weeks is stat increase/decrease. If the defense points get raised (they're dismal right now, but hp is up to 83), my current lab pet is going up for adoption.
