Looking for info on FooPets..?

You get FooGems every day you long in, how many depends on your karma, and you build up karma by caring for your own pets and for other pets. I think I'm getting 600 FooGems a day now (plus whatever I get from games). You could buy things for FooGems and sell them for FooDollars to have enough for the 20 FD you need for a second pet. Most of the stuff that's for FooDollars, honestly, I wouldn't want it--it's hard to make a scene look natural when you try to cram in stuff like telephones and whatever from the decoration store. Just a nice background and a pet bed is good.

As Asynjur says, scenes can be difficult to make look good with lots of stuff. The area that you can use is just too darn small! I like to give my pets a background, pillow to lie on, and some sort of house in the background so that I feel they don't have to be outside all the time. For indoor scenes, windows make them less claustrophobic. All these things you can buy for gems, and often not too many gems at that.

Karma builds up nicely when you care for pets, which is logical. FooGems are the "green shells" of Foo, easy to accumulate. And as for the cost of things -- most of the older stuff in the FooMart can be bought by gems, not just dollars. All the new things that they bring out now seem to be dollar only, and amazingly expensive at that ( the new animated items are eye-poppingly expensive considering how many there are ) , but there are a lot of really nice backgrounds and items that have been there a while and sell for gems.

New pets can be bought for gems on Fridays, from the Shelter only, not from other players ( although some players have figured out ways of doing it ) . The price for a simple Shelter pet is 50 FD or 50,000 FG on Fridays. At the moment there is a huge furore about the "premium" pets which are not in fact premium but which cost 300FD or 300,000FG on Fridays.

You can get Foodollars by entering various things as well as by selling, and you can usually find someone selling a pup for 20FD public sale in the breeding forum.

ah, neat. Thanks for the info, Asynjur and Andy.

Ok the grroming isn't chnaged.Or at least you can still do it for gems as well.You have the option to pay in FooDollars or Gems.I just played last night.

They just forgot to add the 'or' between the dollar and gems It's a cute game though XD

How do you pet my cat? I'm able to pet other people's pets (barring a few cats) but I can't seem to pet my own. I run my mouse over and over and the kitty doesn't even blink. -_-;

What am I missing?

Some breeds are harder to pet than others. Try petting the forehead when he's up at the front. Sometimes it works better to hold the mouse button down as you pet.

You can have fun taking screenshots with the camera icon at the bottom of the pet window. A link to the photos *you* take (of your pet or someone else's) will show up on your profile page. And when you take a picture of your own pet, it will replace the thumbnail--so I try to catch a fun pose (if it doesn't work, just try again).

You can see pictures other people have taken of your pet, as well as the one's you've taken of that pet, by going into the pet's profile page http://www.foopets.com/pet/6843912 and clicking the tab that says Fotos (I guess they can't spell, LOL).

lol. Thanks, Asynjur!

I added everyone who posted here and wasn't on my friends list...please don't forget to check your profile for add requests

I happened to come across these Foopets interviews on YouTube, sharing with you guys.

I don't usually use the desktop app, for one thing, it doesn't give you enough information about your pets status. On the website you can see if the bars, but on the desktop app it just says "No" for hungry and thirsty whether the bars are green or yellow. So you don't know if a friend just fed your pet and they won't need food for hours, or if the bars are low yellow and about to go orange. Plus I like to check on other people's pets, which you can't do on the desktop.

Just filled out a FooPets survery with some
disturbing questions. It asked, among other things, how disappointed
you would be if FooPets closed, and what game you'd use to replace it.
But it also asked things like how they could make the game better.

I just joined Foopets, finally! My username is Firionna. Welcome to add me! Below is my profile page:

Great! Added you!

I had to unfriend some people who didn't seem to visit their pets much--I was just caring for too many pets all the time. If you have a FooPet you aren't visiting, you might want to consider selling your pet, or deleting your account so the pet will go to the shelter and get a new owner.

Well I'm quitting FooPets...I just don't have enough time in the world with my other games plus its not the same as GoPets . I would be happy to transfer any of my pets to you just drop me a message on there under Cakefun.

I need a virtual pet to care for on the computer too, thanks to my obsession...
Is foopets any good? It would help if you could give a rating out of ten.
