Just a few of the Petpetpets available

Petpetpets are very tiny insects (or other such creatures) who behave like parasites to and act as pets for a Petpet. The first Petpetpets were released on June 11, 2003. As of May 31, 2007, there are 31 released 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.

Their status on Neopets is quite different from their status in Neopia. While Petpetpets are symbols of wealth to users, they are pests according to every single piece of canon written about them. Every Petpetpet's description mentions them causing some kind of harm to their host. In the game Itchy Invasion, the main character even shrinks himself in order to annihilate the Petpetpets attacking his Petpets.

Petpetpet Manual

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.

List of Petpetpets


Currently, the * Petpetpets are searchable and featured in either a game or various items, but as no one appears to have them, it seems like they aren't available yet.
