A Missing Piece

"Skip awoke with a start. For a moment, he lay there, wondering what had woken him. Then he heard it: a hoarse cough. He rolled out of bed, casting his Doglefox, Wes a curious look..."

Shadow in the Kadoatery

"Late into the night one moonless autumn evening, long past when most Neopets had gone to bed, Crybaby sat awake. Of course Crybaby was no Neopet, but a Kadoatie, with fur so white it practically shone in the darkness, and large, observant eyes..."

It's a Kad Feeding Frenzy



Hey all you cool Kougras and Kadoaties! In my journey through Neopia, I’ve figured out the tips and tricks that help an average player like myself achieve goals that I never thought possible before. Today, I am going to break down all things Kadoatery. First, a little bit of background: the Kadoatery is a Petpet boarding institution of sorts, located in the Neopian Plaza of Neopia Central. The Kadoatery is a home for Kadoaties while their owners are travelling abroad. The thing about Kadoatie (or Kads, as they are fondly called) is that they are…particular in their daily care needs. Some might call Kads a “pain in the neck,” but I like to think of them as empowered little Petpets who know what they want. Their care regimen demands attention to detail, and importantly for this guide here, a very particular diet. This is where you come in. Kadoaties have a voracious appetite. Once or twice an hour (roughly every 28 minutes), the Kads boarded in the Kadoatery will each demand a different food to be brought to them to satisfy their rumbling bellies. This food is any edible item up to a rarity of 95, meaning a Kad could ask for (demand) a 5 Neopoint Bagguss, or crave something a little bit more refined, like a Blue Cybunny Negg. There are around 4,000 items at the time of writing that any one Kad could ask for, so trying to anticipate their needs is a fool’s game indeed for a player like myself. In between the full refresh, there may be one or two individual Kads that get hungry for a snack, creating another window (albeit much smaller) to feed a Kad. You might be wondering, why on Neopia would I want to feed one of these fussy little creatures? Well, dear reader, if you need to be enticed with a little more than the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with helping these starving creatures through charity, how about a Site Feature Trophy for your lookup and a secret avatar?
