The Kadoatery

At the Kadoatery, Kadoaties (or "Kads" for short) receive only the best care. But they are demanding creatures, and the staff are not always able to provide the many different items they request, so they are always in need of kind-hearted Neopians to donate these food items.

Naturally, Kadoaties like their own space,
and do not appreciate being locked up without their favourite snacks...

The Basics

At the Kadoatery, a set of 20 Kadoaties appear in cages. From time to time, they will request a specific food item to be fed. If you have this item in your inventory, you can feed the Kadoatie by simply clicking on it!

Items Requested

Kadoaties will request edible items up to r95—excluding Blue Draik Eggs, which have been removed from the Kadoatery by TNT as they previously would clog the requests. For a full list of possible items, see our Item Database:

Timing

Kadoaties "restock" at semi-predictable intervals. After Kadoaties restock, they can appear again as soon as 28 minutes later, plus 0 to 90 seconds. These restocks are referred to as "Mains" and involve all or almost all positions showing hungry Kadoaties.

For example, a restock of Kadoaties may occur at 11:07:00 NST. The next restock will be "scheduled" between 11:35:00 NST and 11:36:30 NST. If the restock does not occur in this timeframe, it is delayed for an additional 7 minutes.

Sometimes, if a Kadoatie asks for an expensive item, they may not be fed quickly. This Kadoatie can be on its own 28+7-minute schedule separate from the "Main." These are known as "Minis" since they usually contain just 1 to 3 Kads.

Both Main and Mini restock times are tracked by players on the Games Chat board in the Kadoatery thread.

Starting in November 2022, Kadoaties that remain unfed after 72 hours will go home on their own. Prior to this, Kadoaties asking for very expensive—often unbuyable—items would clog up the Kadoatery, leaving fewer opportunities for players to feed other Kadoaties.

Limits

Once you feed a Kadoatie, you cannot feed another until it has "gone home." This happens when it is replaced by a new Kadoatie during a restock. This means you will have to wait at least 28 minutes before you can feed another Kad; it will be even longer if the restock delays.

There is no limit to the number of Kadoaties you can feed each day, but you can only use one account to feed Kadoaties at any one time. TNT specifically stated in an editorial that "you may switch between accounts for minis and mains...just don't use two accounts simultaneously during the same feeding."

Kadoatie Feeding Techniques

There are three primary methods you can use to feed a Kadoatie.

Wiz Feeding

Wiz feeding requires the use of the Shop Wizard. This is best achieved with two separate tabs open, one with the Kadoatery and the other with the Wizard. In the Shop Wizard tab, you should copy and paste the full name of an item into the search bar. Select the first shop which is given, as it is unlikely you will have the time to look for a cheaper option. Once you have brought the item you need, just switch tabs and select the correct cage image.

This can be done even more efficiently using the Super Shop Wizard available from a Premium membership. This allows you to do the search in the same tab as the Kadoatery, as well as guarantee you purchase the cheapest item available.

SDB Feeding

SDB Feeding requires you to paste the item name into the SDB search bar. Although simple, it requires you to disable your PIN. When you find your item, you need to click on "Remove One" and then quickly switch back to your Kadoatery tab and click on the cage image. Users who use this option often have large quantities of possible items already stored.

Inventory Feeding

The idea of inventory feeding is that you keep one category's items in your inventory while feeding, in the hope that one of those items will be requested and you can simply click on the cage. Players who use this method will often keep a few spaces clear in their inventory so they still have a chance to Wiz feed the Kads too.

You may choose to use items with a similarity between them (e.g pizzas, hot dogs, potatoes), you could also choose from the categories listed below. Click on each category to be brought to the appropriate page in our Item Database. Remember, as mentioned above, Kadoaties will only ask for items up to r95.

• Normal Food Items
• Altadorian Foods
• Brightvale Fruits

• Hot Dog

Rewards

The primary reward for the Kadoatery is a trophy on your lookup. There is no high score table; trophies are earned at predetermined thresholds, and the number under the trophy will increment with each Kadoatie fed.

There's also an avatar available for the Kadoatery:

Nighttime Crying

Every day at 11:00 p.m. NST, all Kads, regardless of if they have been fed or not, will be seen crying. It would seem that once it gets dark and the staff go home, no one ever remembers to turn on a small night light for these poor Kadoaties, so they cry all night long. At 3:00 a.m. NST they stop crying and return to their usual hungry selves. Despite the tears, you can continue to feed them as normal.

Kadoatie Names

If you're having trouble coming up with a name for your own Kadoatie, or want to bring the Kadoatery experience home with you, why not choose from one of the many Kadoatery Kadoatie names.
