So, You’re Going to Adopt a Weewoo?


by halondrus

--------

There comes a time in every Neopet’s life where they make the big decision to adopt a Petpet. And, typically, one tends to seek out Weewoos because they are often the friendliest and most easy to take care of. However this is still a big responsibility and is an important milestone for many and as such it can be a little terrifying. It is natural to be nervous! That just means you are going to be a great caretaker because it shows how much you care. But if you want to help ease your worries you can do what you can to prepare. Petpet proofing your Neohome is a great first step – but how do you do that? And then what do you do next? And what else is there to do? What do they like? What do they eat? What do they play with? What do they do? How do they learn? Do they like clothes? Oh my goodness, there is just so much to know!

     Fear not. In this guide we will help you out with multiple different areas in caring for your Petpet – and yourself! – as you navigate this new and exciting step of your life.

     Books

     

     Petpet Biology

     This book will teach you all you need to know about a growing Petpet. It has pictures of the bone and muscle structure of all the different types of Petpets out there so you will know just how they are developing as they mature and how to help them if they are injured. Weewoos can be found on pages 32 to 45, but this is a good book to have on hand.

     

     Cooking for Your Petpet

     Petpets can be picky eaters. This is a known fact of life. With patience, luck, and a little bit of skill, you too can learn how to cook for every type of picky eater in your life. There are many types of recipes for many types of eaters, including ones that follow Weewoo friendly dietary guidelines.

     

     Cooking With Petpets

     Alternatively, once your Weewoo is a little older you can cook with them. This is an all ages cook-a-long book that will teach you and your Weewoo all sorts of delicious recipes from around Neopia!

     

     Getting Ready For Bed

     Make bath time and educational time fun by reading this book to your Weewoo. It will teach them the importance of hygiene and a good routine.

     

     Learn to Fly

     Although you might think it is something they are born knowing how to do, Weewoos need to learn how to fly. If you are not a Neopet of the flying variety you need to pick up this book to learn how to fly before you can let your Weewoo spread their wings.

     Food

     

     Food and Water Bowl Mat

     Weewoos can be messy when they eat and drink. That’s okay! Protect your Neohome’s flooring by getting this cute mat to place their bowls on.

     

     Vacation Food Dish

     If you are going out of town this perfectly portioned dish will keep your Weewoo well maintained for several weeks. Even though you will miss your friend you will have the peace of mind knowing they are happy and full.

     

     Snowickle Snacks

     These are not just for Snowickles! These are tasty minty fresh snacks that will keep your Weewoo’s breath fresh and teeth healthy. These are perfect to get you all the Weewoo cuddles you need and extend time between dental checkups.

     

     Sunflower Seeds

     Weewoos love seeds of any kind, but sunflower seeds are by far the healthiest for them. Stock up on these seeds and your new feathered friend will be sure to adore you.

     

     Organic Spinach Salad

     Another thing Weewoos tend to love that is also good for them is spinach. You better stock up. Teach them these healthy habits early by appealing to their natural instincts.

     

     Festive Petpet Appreciation Cake

     Celebrating your Weewoo on their Gotcha Day, their birthday, on Petpet Appreciation Day, or really any day is always a good idea. And one such way to show that is with a cake such as this, which is specially made for them. Petpets cannot eat everything Neopets can, so this is safe for them and it is tasty enough for a Neopet too!

     Enrichment

     

     Petpetpet Farm

     Every growing Petpet wants to grow their very own Petpetpet, and with this little farm they will be able to learn about the miracles of such life.

     

     Blue Feather Toy

     This toy is more than a toy: it is a hunting tool. Sharpen your Weewoo’s hunting skills by targeting their natural hunting instinct.

     

     Wind Up Florg

     Although all Petpets know to fear Florg, this one will make them laugh. Wind up the back of this little guy and watch him waddle around. Your Weewoo will giggle with such delight.

     

     Faerie Cloud Racers Set

     Playing Faerie Cloud Racers might be a little difficult for a Weewoo but this at home game will be much easier for them as they develop the dexterity to learn how to play. It has single player or multiplayer mode so you can play with them as well.

     

     Spotted Play Tend

     Unleash your Weewoo’s creative side with this tent. What wonders will they dream up? What new lands will they discover? See the world again through their eyes or dream up new lands together.

     Supplies

     

     Sturdy Petpet Cage

     Keep your friend safe in this transportation device whenever you need to take them somewhere, either for a checkup or just on a fun adventure.

     

     Spoon Chair

     This tiny chair is perfect for a younger Weewoo. It will support their weight while they play their favourite game or read their favourite book.

     

     Gummy Dice Chair

     This chair is for the bigger/older Weewoos once they get too cool for the silly spoon chair and want something more vibrant and fun.

     

     Toy Petpet Pram

     Push your new Weewoo in this cute pink pram. They can ride around in style as they learn about the world around them.

     

     Multi-level Scratching Post

     There are many types of scratching posts out there that fit your different Neohome’s aesthetic and size, and your own budget, but this one is perhaps the top of the line. Keep your Weewoo’s talons in check with any type of scratching post - you will thank us later.

     

     Petpetpet Comb

     Keep your Weewoo clean and free of pests with this comb. Brushing them out regularly will ensure their feathers stay shiny and clear of unwanted house guests.

     

     Rainbow Petpet Bath Tub

     No Petpet enjoys bath time, but you gotta make sure they stay clean! Keep your Weewoo looking and feeling their best by bathing them at least once a week, ensuring to dry them thoroughly.

     

     Red Barn Birdhouse

     This is another one that you would want to select based on your Neohome’s aesthetic or your Weewoo’s preferences. However, getting a birdhouse is great for a Weewoo. They deserve to have their own space that is theirs which gives them autonomy and agency, and ultimately gives you their trust.

     With these simple items and tips you will be on your way to being a stellar Weeoo owner in no time. We hope you enjoy your life with your new best friend!
