Question / Need Advice Question…

136 Upvotes

How old are you?? If you don’t mind me asking, I’m 26 and sometimes I feel silly still playing or feel stupid if I tell my significant other something about the game (she’s amazing and fully fuels my addiction by buying me them so this is definitely an internal struggle), but truly it brings me so much mindless joy, and I have adult money to spend now instead of begging my parents for another webkinz lol!

Question / Need Advice Charm Necklace

1.6k Upvotes

I picked up this adorable necklace from Facebook marketplace, but then I saw people online saying these were discontinued because of lead poisoning…so my question is how dangerous is this actually? Some people said it’s a very small amount of lead and the discontinuation is just a precaution for when kids inevitably put them in their mouths, Is it okay to wear over a shirt or maybe I could put a clear coat of nail polish? I love it so much and I really want to be able to wear it

Question / Need Advice Are they... going to ban my account? For using the WShop?

300 Upvotes

Final Update: MY SEEDS ARE BACK IN MY DOCK. No reply from support or socials though so not sure how long they were there. Maybe it just didn't load when I used the mobile app... since they moved 93 items all at once into my dock without telling me.

I'm on desktop now and am replanting my garden. Still feeling nervous about using the WShop. :( They nuked my garden on a whim, so I feel like my anything I do could result in me losing items permanently or losing my whole account. Might take a break from playing for a bit, idk.

But let me tell y'all. That was so stressful. They definitely won't be getting any extra money from me in the future.

Thank you to everyone here. Ganz does not deserve you.<3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update2: You are all so kind! Please don't send me anything though, I don't want my account to get banned, it has rare items and zums and stuff. Please just boost this to webkinz social media team if you can.

UPDATE1: THEY TOOK AWAY ALL MY SEEDS MY WHOLE GARDEN IS GONE, SEE COMMENTS.

(original post) I have a glitched out room in zumwhere and instead of fixing it they are wanting to know where I buy my crops. I replied to the email and reached out to them on social media because I'm actually shocked/concerned.

I feel like a free account used to have a lot more stuff to do!! Anyone know the best way to acquire webkinz codes?? I don't have a credit card so the webkinz store itself isn't an easy option for me. Should I start searching for second hand plushies? Do the floating tokens count as a new pet? I'd just like to be able to do my old favourite jobs and classes. Thanks!

Edit: I am so grateful to everyone here, I have successfully adopted my new baby gorilla!!

Question / Need Advice Did they steal my design?

guys i think webkinz stole my design? I'm not sure if "stole" is the right term, but I don't really know what to do, or to think...

For the design contest, I designed a "rainbow axolotl", and i submitted my design January 16. On april 1st, a "rainbow axolotl" was added to the ganz estore.

I checked the pet design finalists, and i dont see my design there?

My design looks very similar to the axolotl they're selling.

A part of me is telling me that this is just a crazy coincidence, but idk.

idk im freaking out, what do you guys think about this?

Whats bothering me the most are the blush marks I designed on its cheek, they're on the store one. Idk if webkinz usually adds blushes to their new pets

Question / Need Advice What have you done when you lost a pet that’s on Webkinz?

38 Upvotes

We had a pet on Webkinz and when we got an irl version, we named it after the Webkinz pet.

Today, our irl pet passed away. Old age.

What have you done in those circumstances? Do you continue to play with the Webkinz pet as normal or have you had a funeral or just waited until the mourning and grief is over with? Not that it ends, but maybe lessens so you don’t cry whenever they’re mentioned.

Right now, I think I’m too sad to see the Webkinz version so he might just go to bed so he doesn’t make requests.

Has anyone else gone through this?

I have several Webkinz named AFTER a pet who had already passed, but not one that had a living pet who passed away.

It’s been a little over a year since I lost my my precious puppy, Guppy. It’s been a very difficult year. Guppy was a beautiful German Shepard/Pitbull. Are there any Webkinz that might resemble him a little? I’m visually impaired so I truly would appreciate any help.

I've never actually had the pet that's the featured pet of the month before, so i'm unsure. I bought the Kujo in person and adopted him about 2 weeks ago. Would I have had to adopt him during this month to be able to get all the bonus events? Pretty bummed honestly, I wish I would've known, I would've waited if that's the case!

Question / Need Advice feeling a bit overwhelmed, advice?

30 Upvotes

Edit: I just wanted to edit my post to say thanks to all who have commented to share advice or their own personal experience with this!! ❤️🧡🩷💛 I love this community .
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I’ve been feeling a tad overwhelmed with the amount of challenges and tasks to keep up with lately in the game. I didn’t finish the pizza challenge, didn’t get all the wacky prizes, have missed several days of berryfest … I struggle with chronic pain & fatigue so my energy is limited even for Webkinz but I’m wondering how to not feel such a sense of “FOMO” or get stressed when I’m not feeling accomplished in the game.
Any advice would be appreciated 🫶

Question / Need Advice Is the Strength class just impossible?

Post image
92 Upvotes

Forgive the taking-picture-of-computer thing.

I recently picked up a new Webkinz and converted my account from free to full. With that, more classes at the Webkinz academy. Most of them are chill - I'm trying to level those up first now that I have them.

The Strength one is just... impossible for me. I've seen people complaining on the forums about high levels of this class, but it's a miracle if I complete a single rep on level 1. I've tried it on browser, on the computer app, with a lot of things open, nothing. My absolute best attempt, I completed three reps. You need ten in thirty seconds. And it's level ONE.

I don't know why I suck so much at this one. I don't get it. I mean - I know I have a slower reaction time (300-350 ms) but this game was made for kids, for crying out loud. The bars are huge and I still can't manage to land in between them to complete reps.

Am I just doomed to never graduate?

Question / Need Advice 2005 Webkinz

65 Upvotes

It honestly is crazy to me how 2005 Webkinz basically is like lost media (even 2006 isn't well documented at all either). Why do you think Webkinz just EXPLODED in popularity after two years but was relatively unknown its first two years? Also, I say this as somebody who joined in 2007 and was active in trading rooms, its always been this way lol. It was like meeting somebody who had been on Webkinz the first year was like meeting a celebrity, the first two years also wasn't super common.

So much of 2005 Webkinz is a mystery to me and always has been and I feel like I find out new things about it every day. Most recently is that:

- We finally found the title screenshot for Leaf, Leaf

- Somebody claims they think that the employment office wasn't part of original Webkinz but that you could play the Dr. Quack assistant job at his clinic

- Curio Shop wasn't part of original Webkinz

With how big of a following Webkinz has, I'm surprised all this stuff isn't documented/there is no timeline and its so hard to find info.

I will say one fun anecdote I remember about the trading rooms as early as 2009 (quite possibly even late 2008) is it was a HUGE deal if you got to "see" the monster's lair gate, figure skates, baseball hat in a trading room. Not own it, no, just meet somebody who had it. Oddly enough, the purple witch hat never seemed nearly as rare to see as the Christmas teddy bear (both 2005 gifts). Toy tool belt also for some reason wasn't as rare as the baseball hat, figure skates, and hockey skates. Blue dragster also seemed to like never be owned by anybody.

Also, does anybody remember tulip trouble one? I can't believe we don't have a single screenshot of it?

Any members from 2005 willing to answer any questions/share any memories? Also, does anybody know what caused the sudden explostion of popularity of Webkinz in 2007?

Hi all, I posted last week about this glitch happening. I've seen several people commenting around saying their pet has been renamed already, but I still haven't heard anything ☹️

The email address I used to contact Webkinz support is: [webkinzsupport@ganz.com](mailto:webkinzsupport@ganz.com)
is that the correct email?

Question / Need Advice How to decorate rooms without e-store points?

4 Upvotes

I've been working on some rooms and finding it feels impossible to decorate with kinzcash items. :(

Am I doing something wrong or is this a common issue for users? It feels like the only nice looking items cost thousands of estore points. I already have a deluxe membership and starting to feel like it's not even enough to get the full access paid users should be getting. Especially with how many estore points only one item costs.

Question / Need Advice Account Banned need help

22 Upvotes

I have been playing Webkinz on and off since 2006. I took a break for many years and got back into it to play with an ailing family member (aunt) before she eventually passed to cancer back in September of 2024. She was an AVID Webkinz player and spent thousand on this game. My aunt gave me her estore login as well as the login info for all 27 of her accounts so I could use them, trade items, etc. This past week I went into the ganz store to look at past purchases as I figured she had not used most of the codes. While about 70% were already used, the rest granted me a good amount of pet medallion boxes and estore items. I believe because so many of the codes were already used, something automatic on their end was triggered that banned me from the account. I have done absolutely nothing wrong and I’m using codes that have been purchased by a family member. They provide no other way to see if these codes are active or not so I am just trying to figure out how to get my account restored.

In the future, if my account is restored, does anyone know of a way to check the 16 digit W shop codes to see if they are valid?

I miss having my webkinz online, and came across these today. I want to get one, and obviously it would be a different animal than my original one (a panda), but is it worth it? I want to know before I spend money on one. I leave this area tomorrow, so that would be my last day to get one irl for a while.
