As a writer for the celebrity and pop culture section of The Neopian Times, I, Archibald Grimsley, was excited to hear that it was Bring Your Own Petpet to Work Day. Every evening when I would come home I would tell Giggles, my Rainbow Babyca, all about the important figures I had interviewed and latest trends in Neopia. Now I could actually bring Giggles to see it all happen! If only I had known what a fiasco was to occur when Giggles came with me to The Neopian Times headquarters, I wouldn’t have brought him along. The day began quite normally, sleeping till the last minute, rushing to get dressed and grabbing a cup of Marquan Blend Coffee and a Breakfast Hot Dog, and running out the front door. Right as I crossed the threshold, I heard Giggles exclaim, “Wait for me! I’m coming along today, remember?” Oh, yeah! In my sleepy haze I had completely forgotten. “Well, come along then!” I replied. We quickly made the trek to the NT headquarters. As we approached the entrance, I saw several of my coworkers walking in with their Petpets. Sandra from HR was holding her Angelpuss and loudly saying, “What a good girl!” Clearly trying to draw everyone’s attention to her Petpet. Giggles and I both looked at each other and rolled our eyes. Unfortunately for Sandra, the majority of the attention was on Nico, the Altador Cup correspondent, who was dancing next to his Disco Kookith to the hit song Dancing King from the BAAB album. Passing through the crowd, we entered the building and I escorted Giggles to my cubicle. “Well, this is it! What do you think?” I asked. “This is where you spend all day? In this drab and boring cube!” Giggles said disgustedly. Ouch. My cubicle isn’t boring! I have a Cheery plant right next to...

Meepits are fearsome creatures. They may seem like your average cute and cuddly Petpets, but looks can be deceiving. You don’t want to find out what they’re capable of, so it’s best to just give them what they want: fresh Juppie Juice! Keeping Meepits satisfied isn’t an easy task, so here’s a full Meepit Juice Break guide with a level breakdown on how to feed these Meepits efficiently by a gold trophy holder. Basic Gameplay In Meepit Juice Break, your objective is to feed as many Meepits as you can by connecting pipes from the Juice-O-Matic to 1-3 waiting Meepits. You click on one pipe at a time to rotate it clockwise, and you will earn more points with each pipe that is connected. Additionally, these Meepits have juice preferences! They will drink any colour juice, but you will earn more points if the juice colour matches the Meepit. The Juice-O-Matic only has red, yellow, and blue juice, but you can connect them to produce other colours: Red + Yellow = Orange Yellow + Blue = Green Blue + Red = Purple Red + Yellow + Blue = Pink Here’s the catch: the Meepits do not like waiting for long so they get more demanding as the game progresses! With each level, the difficulty increases as you have to feed more Meepits with shorter time limits. You start with three lives and you will lose one for every Meepit you fail to feed in time. Scoring The game starts with one Meepit to feed at a time, though as you progress, you will have two Meepits, and then three. You can feed multiple Meepits simultaneously by connecting their pipes together before any juice is connected. Once a full path of juice is connected to a Meepit, the pipes will shift and the fed Meepit is replaced with another hungry Meepit.

Sponsored by the Petpet Protection League There are hundreds of Petpets in Neopia, and naturally, some are more popular than others. There’s no shortage of love for Faellies, Meepits, Onas, Kadoaties, and Snowbunnies. But what about the other 90%? Every Petpet deserves their day--that’s why the Petpet Protection League established the Petpet of the Week, after all--but there is more that could be done. So on this Petpet Appreciation Day, we’d like to take the time to call out to 12 lesser-known Petpets that deserve more love and attention. 1. Hermiteese Hailing from Altador, this fetching fellow is smarter than you might think. The owner of the Altadorian Petpet Shop says that these Petpets assist their owners with a variety of tasks such as Neomailing letters and fetching plates of cheese for their Neopet. What more could your Neopet want? 2. Cubett As the name would imply, these bright orange aquatic Petpets are curiously shaped like a cube. Its odd shape often causes potential owners to pass over it, but once you get past their exterior, these swimmers are loving and loyal. 3. Mastyxi Have you ever heard of a Mastyxi? If you’ve ever found yourself wandering the Lost Desert, you may have overlooked these yellow, clawed, and long-tailed little guys napping in scant patches of shade. They are happiest when left to sunbathe, and can be quite affectionate when they’re in a good mood. Beware, however, that these are not the best partners for Baby Neopets--they can sport a nasty temper. 4. Boween These chubby, cuddly balls of love are sadly often ignored in the Faerieland Petpet Shop, where Neopets tend to flock towards more popular Petpets instead. Next time you’re there, take a moment...
