About this page



I've decided to make a new page that would feature only the most recent updates pertaining to the pound because I felt that my old pound guide had become too lengthy to read in one sitting. It was also more of a beginner type of guide so those who are more knowledgeable about the pound may find it redundant.

This page will feature the most important information about the pound and answers to frequently asked questions (based on the pound boards). If you can't find the information you are looking for on this page, it may be found in my long version pound guide. So there will be 2 versions from now on, the Short and Long Version. I will be updating both. =)

If my page has helped you, please put up a link or feel free to link to it on the boards. The url is super easy to remember.

Important Facts

1. Transfer
a. This is by far the most useful option to use when trading or transferring pets. You get one User-to-User Transfer per month. Which means you get one send and one receive option per month.

b. If someone sends you a pet but you reject it, you will not use up your receive but the other person will waste their send option.

c. If someone doesn't accept a pet within 3 days, that pet will be returned to the owner. This is useful when you've mistakenly placed a username that is frozen or does not exist. The pet will be returned to you but you will have used up your send.

However, if you fill up the 4th spot for another pet, the pet that was being transferred will have nowhere to go and will be redirected to the pound.

d. A certain pet can only be transferred once per day. Meaning, if it was transferred on Monday, you can only transfer it back on Tuesday or the next calendar day. (Useful when borrowing or lending pets)

e. Wearables, trinkets and petpets will go with the pet when transferred. NC mall items and battledome equipment will not.

f. If you are less than 4 months, you can only receive and send pets under level 2 and certain paint brush colors. A list can be found here: WCAPPT
2. Exchange
a. Through Exchange, both people can exchange pets at the same time. No more worrying about whether someone will follow through on their trade or not.

b. There is still a glitch with the clothes not being sent over with Exchange! So if your pets have clothes, then it maybe best not to use this function for now until TNT fixes it.

c. This will count as your one User-to-User Transfer. Meaning, you will use up your receive and send for the month.

d. A step by step guide is found here.
3. Pound
a. Do not risk the pound when trading or transferring pets because once a pet is in the pound, it is free for all to grab. You cease to own the pet even when you have substantial proof. But there may be some kind neopians out there who would return your pet if you'd give proof. Types of proof can be found here.

b. You can pound 1 pet once a day. You can adopt an unlimited number of times.

c. If you are less than 4 months, you can only see and adopt pets that are level 2 or less and some painted pets that can be found in this list: WCAPPT

d. Clothes and wearables do not go with the pet when abandoned through the pound!
4. Trade
a. Trading should only be 1:1. No 2:2 or whatever.

b. Once a pet has been sent over, that trade is finalized and you have to complete the trade (if you used transfer)

c. Always be weary when trading. Keep proof and make sure the person you're trading with is not a known scammer.

d. When doing a custom, you can't let the person send over their pet for you to paint. You should use your own pet or a new pet to paint. =(

e. Custom training is not allowed.

f. If a trade involving a custom is done, and the other person already spent his np to paint the pet, you must go through with the trade!
