Just a few of the Petpetpets available

A Petpetpet is a small insect similar to fleas or other such creatures which act as pets for a Petpet. Many of them resemble insects, leading many to believe that these critters are actually parasites of Petpets, much like real-world fleas and ticks. As of May 31, 2006, there are 30 Petpetpets in existence.

Petpetpets are usually expensive, and are often viewed as a status symbol. Their price can be explained by two things. The first is, quoted from the Petpetpet article of the Neopets Help section: "Petpetpets are usually found by your Petpet. Very rarely, Petpets are able to catch one of these elusive little bugs in their mouth, and happily bring them back to their owners." Ergo, they can only be obtained from a random event (apart from buying them from other users). The second cause for their high value is that once you've attached a Petpetpet to your Petpet, it can never be taken off. If one would remove the Petpet from the Neopet, the Petpetpet would simply vanish.

Once obtained, a Petpetpet can attach itself to a Petpet by following these guidelines...

  1. The Petpet that will become the host of the Petpetpet to is attached to the users active Neopet.
  2. The Petpetpet is in their inventory.
  3. Refreshing the inventory until the Petpetpet disappears.

Assuming the disappearance was not the fault of the Pant Devil or a similar random event-thief, the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of the users active Neopet.

If a user wants to remove the Petpetpet, all they need to do is unequip the Petpet, which is achieved by clicking on the Petpet on the users Quick Ref page and selecting "Stop Playing with (Petpet's name)." The Petpetpet will then be gone, with no way of retrieving it.

Trivia

Mootix avatar
  • As of May 31, 2006, there are two Avatars dedicated to Petpetpets. The first is the Mootix avatar, obtained by attaching a Mootix to your Petpet. The second is the Moach avatar, obtained by viewing the pet lookup of a pet with a Moach attached to its Petpet.
