  • MAINTENANCE NOTICE! - Doctor Sloth's Grundo minions will be taking down the site for some much needed maintenance to the Grundo Reeducation Center.

If the site goes down during that time, you know you can blame it on Virtupets Space Station! Hopefully we shall return promptly, and we apologize for the inconvenience because Sloth certainly won't!
