Building a Better Backyard for your Petpet

Congratulations on bringing home your brand-new Petpet from the Petpet Puddle! You’ve spent all that time with your Neopet, updating your Neohome with a nursery and adding fun, Petpet-proofed toys and gadgets in each room. While your Neopet initially might spend most of their time indoors enjoying their new bundle of fluff, scales or shells, it’s never too early to consider what you’d like to have for them outside. After all, your Neopet is going to do most of the caring for their Petpet, so it’s only fair to help them out by creating a backyard all the Petpets at daycare will be jealous of. Let’s start by considering the greenery. You’ll want to make sure none of your shrubs are poisonous or otherwise dangerous to Petpets. If you need to dig anything up, now is the time to do it. You may even know a neighbourly Bori who would like to help! Bad Seed There is usually one of these in every Neofriend group. We recommend avoiding them there and here as well…unless you want to get mean stares all day. Barrel Cactus While these might look pretty, your Petpet could get hurt if they get too close! Exploding Pod Plant This plant could give your Petpet severe pollen allergies! You will be spending the day at the NeoHospital with them if they aren’t careful. Instead, we recommend planting any of these bushes, trees or flowers to make your yard pop. They’re also safe if your Petpet gets hungry and goes for a nibble. Blackberry Bush Not only does this bush have a great aesthetic for the garden, but it can also provide your Petpet with some delicious snacks...
