ixi_lover_ixi Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'd like one of my Neopets off my account and on to a side to make room for some new pets. The only problem is that my side account is at a very low age and nowhere near the four-month period, but I really can't wait that long to remove my pet off of my account. I can't pound any of my pets as they're all potential dreamies and either well-named or trained in something. I'm really confused as to if there's anything I can do to help my cause. Help please! :ohno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help please! :ohno:I only have one pet, and, am currently "pet sitting" another. I have two slots available, and I believe a few transfers left, for this month, but will have more in February. If it will help, you can transfer your pet to me, then, I can transfer it to your side. I know it is a huge trust issue. Let me know. You can Neomail me, or let me know here. Other than that, not sure what else you could do, except to create another side account, if you haven't reached the side account limit.

ixi_lover_ixi Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Oh, I forgot to mention a few details in my post above. My pets are painted a color that cannot be transferred to under 4-month accounts. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLune Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do except: 1.) wait until your account is of age and delay getting another pet or 2.) let someone you trust pet sit until your side account is of age and have them send it there. (like suggested above). Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaziecat Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I thought I remember TNT not allowing pet-sitting...But what you could do is paint Arrkanine with one of those starter paint brushes you get when you first join (or buy a speckled one if you don't still have those), send her over to the side, then paint her snow again. Snow isn't too expensive, so if you still have those, it wouldn't be too bad. That way, you could do it right now. (This is just my opinion, but I think that in the future, if you don't have the maximum amount of accounts, you should create them before you want to use them. That way, by the time you're ready for them, they can be aged.) Catexia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yes I would like to remind you that pet-sitting is indeed against Neopets rules and could get you frozen. You can either repaint the pet or wait it out, as the safest options for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been a brilliant idea, except Arrkanine is my battle pet, and under 4-month-old accounts can't.... get over level 2 neopets. And the second cheapest is Cybrell. I could do as you've said, paint him Speckled, then send him over to my other account and /hopefully/ find my magma pool time there. The paint brush will take a good chunk out of my savings tho ;-; I think I'll be able to though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granny63020 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Sounds like there is a lot of good solutions in the answers above. What caught my attention was the pet sitting. Why is this a big deal? Why would your account be frozen for this? I guess what I am asking is what caused pet sitting to be a problem? granny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Mentioned in this editorial: http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=643 Hey, y'all. *hugs* I know 'pet-sitting is FORBIDDEN (capitals for emphasis), but say someone would be gone from Neopets for quite a long time and they transferred their 'pets to a friend's side account so they could be cared for. Would that be considered 'pet-sitting? Thank you. :D ~azurazebra"'Pet-sitting" used to be a common scam quite a few years ago, which is why it is FORBIDDEN. Players would offer to "babysit" your Neopets... just give them your password and they'll make sure your Neopets are fed while you're gone! Yeah, no. -_- Sending your Neopet to someone else is a much different kind of sitting. It's not against the rules, but we don't really recommend it. That's why we have the Neolodge. Players often quit or go on hiatus and leave their Neopets in the care of others, but what happens when you come back, or never come back? That player might assume you're not coming back and Pound / trade the Neopet. This has happened plenty of times before. We really recommend using the Neolodge and leaving the Neopet on your own account. Basically, there's no assurance the pets will go back to their intended owner or that nothing will happen to the pet while the owner is away, and TNT can't do anything about it, so pet-sitting is a no-no. (Please don't turn this topic into a debate/discussion on pet-sitting, though. Question is answered.) Mouseykins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I'm not breaking any rules, would you accept a Speckled Paint Brush as a gift? Trudy's Surprise and Ghoul Catchers have been kind to my NP income, so it wouldn't hurt my NP savings, and wouldn't be a problem. My intentions were to help, even though misguided. At least I could help in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
