Neopets is a fun website where you can create and take care of virtual pets. It started on November 15, 1999, and has been enjoyed by many players around the world. The website is owned by Jumpstart. Most of the pets you can create are not real animals, but they are often inspired by real animals. Neopets offers exciting stories, chat boards, and many different activities for you and your pets to enjoy. The site also has lots of games to play, from quick ones to longer adventures that can take many hours to finish.

Your Virtual Pets

On Neopets, you can create your very own virtual pet. You can feed your pet by playing games to earn Neopoints (the site's money), or by visiting special places to get free food. You can also find cool items and clothes to dress up your pets. There are even special items called paint brushes that can change your pet's color to something unique and special!

Collecting Avatars

Avatars are small pictures that you can use to represent yourself on the Neopets website. There are many different avatars to collect, and some are easier to get than others.

Easy Avatars to Get

When you first create an account on Neopets, you automatically get some basic avatars. These often show different Neopets or faeries from the game. You don't have to do anything special to get these.

Finding Hidden Avatars

Some avatars are a bit like a treasure hunt! To get these, you just need to visit a certain page on the Neopets site. Once you find the right page, you'll get a message saying you've unlocked a new avatar.

Challenging Avatars to Earn

The most popular avatars are usually the hardest to get. These special avatars can be earned in many different ways. For example, you might need to get a high score in a game, buy a specific item, or even just look up a certain pet. Collecting these avatars can be a fun challenge!

Fan-Made Helper Sites

Many Neopets players have created their own websites to help other players. These "fan sites" offer lots of useful information. They can give you tips on how to play games better or how to find those tricky avatars. Some sites also help you learn how to customize the look of your own Neopets pages.
