A '''Petpetpet''' is a small insect similar to [[Wikipedia:Flea|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.

'''Petpets''' (sometimes ''PetPets'') are pets for a user's [[Neopet]]. They are classified as [[items]], and can be attached to a Neopet much like [[weapons]]. Most Petpets can be purchased in official Neopian [[shops]], but some are gained only by other activities, such as using the [[Cooking Pot]].  


For a long time, Petpets could not be painted, but this was changed on October 2, 2001 with the introduction of the [[Petpet Paint Brush]], which is used at the [[Petpet Puddle]]. Later, on August 3, 2005, the [[Petpet Lab Ray]] was introduced. Like the Neopet [[Lab Ray]], the Petpet equivalent can alter a Petpet's [[colour]] and other statistics, such as species, level and name. The Petpet even has a chance of being completely destroyed.  
Petpetpets are usually expensive, and are often viewed as a status symbol. The Petpetpet article of the Neopets Help section says, "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." If the sole source of the Petpetpets is indeed a random event, that would certainly help explain their rarity, and hence their high prices.


A Petpet can also gain levels at the [[Petpet Battledome]] and by waking the [[Turmaculus]], but its levels will not be retained if the Petpet is ever removed from its Neopet. In turn, these levels can  help the Neopet in the Battledome, acting as an [http://idb.finalhit.org/?searchtype=page&page=articles&a_id=89 attack multiplier].  
Once obtained, a Petpetpet can attach itself to a Petpet by following these guidelines...


There are also [[Petpetpet]]s, parasites that live on Petpets, which are a pet to the Petpet.
#The Petpet that will become the host of the Petpetpet to is attached to the users active Neopet.
#The Petpetpet is in their inventory.
#Refreshing the inventory until the Petpetpet disappears.


==Petpet Shops==
Assuming the disappearance was not the fault of the [[Pant Devil]], the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of the users active Neopet.
There are many shops around Neopia where you may purchase a Petpet for your pet:


*[http://www.neopets.com/objects.phtml?type=shop&obj_type=25 The Neopian Petpet Shop] (Neopian Central)
If 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 [http://www.neopets.com/quickref.phtml Quick Ref] page and selecting "Stop Playing with (Petpet's name)." The Petpetpet will then be gone, with no way of retrieving it, making it a difficult action to take, and must make sure it's what they really want to go through.

The '''Petpet Protection League''' (''PPL'' for short) is a group of [[Neopian]]s who reward [[Neopet]]s for taking good care of their [[Petpet]]. Each week they select a random Petpet and reward users whose Neopets have had them for the longest by paying 10 [[Neopoints]] for every day they have been owned. Users who have the oldest of that selected Petpet receive a [[Trophy]] as well.
 
Neopets who take their Petpet to the [[Treasure_Maps#Petpet_Laboratory|Petpet Laboratory]] are exempt from the PPL, as it's viewed as a form of cruelty against Petpets.

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. The Petpetpet article of the Neopets Help section says, "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." If the sole source of the Petpetpets is indeed a random event, that would certainly help explain their rarity, and hence their high prices.

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, the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of the users active Neopet.

If 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, making it a difficult action to take, and must make sure it's what they really want to go through.
