Petpetpets
If a Petpet is a pet for your Neopet to look after, then a Petpetpet is a pet for your Neopet's Petpet to look after; a little bug-like critter that you can attach to a Petpet to keep it company. All of the Petpetpets are shown below:
Getting Petpetpets
Petpetpets, commonly abbreviated as "P3s", can be obtained in a variety of ways.
Prizes
P3's are available as prizes from the following site events and features:
- Grave Danger
- Aboard the Coincidence
- Quest Log - both the daily and weekly prize pools
- In the The Void Within Prize Shop (as of July 29, 2024) (select P3s only)
Purchasing
P3's can also be purchased from several locations across the site.
- At the Almost Abandoned Attic - available to aged accounts only
- From other users through the Shop Wizard, Trading Post, or Auction House
Advent Calendar
Occasionally, a P3 will even be given out as an Advent Calendar prize! The P3s that have been given out via this method are not obtainable through any of the above methods - they are unique to the Advent Calendar.
Previous Methods
Petpetpets were once awarded from an old random event. However, when random events were revamped in April 2014, this particular event was removed.
Attaching a Petpetpet
Once you have the P3 in your inventory, make sure that you have the correct active Neopet. Again, attaching is permanent - if you accidentally have the wrong pet set as active, you cannot "un-attach" the P3.
As such, it's best to avoid your inventory altogether until you're ready to attach. If you're looking to sell or deposit your P3, or need to change pets before attaching, it's best to navigate directly to either the Auction House, Trading Post, Quick Stock, the homepage or to Quick Ref without entering your inventory first.
Previously, attaching a Petpetpet could be quite a pain! With the new mobile-friendly site layout, however, there is a quick refresh trick that appears to make it much easier.
Instead of utilizing your browser's refresh button, or CTRL+R on your keyboard, click the star icon (labeled "Full Inventory" on desktop browsers) in rapid succession. You do not need to wait for the page to fully reload before clicking it again. I recommend clicking the button a few dozen times before allowing the page to fully reload. With any luck, your P3 should be attached in under a minute!
Once the P3 has disappeared from your inventory, you can verify on the homepage, quick ref, and/or your pet's lookup to confirm it attached successfully.
As with any page on the site, refreshing can cause you to encounter random events. Some of these, like the Pant Devil, can nab your precious Petpetpet! To lower the chances it gets taken from an event like this, fill up your inventory with useless junk alongside your Petpetpet.
Losing a Petpetpet
In general, Petpetpets are permanently attached. They can only be lost if your Petpet is also lost, such as:
- If you remove your Petpet from your Neopet. Your Petpet will be returned to your inventory, but your Petpetpet will permanently disappear
- If your Petpet is eaten by the Turmaculus, your Petpetpet will also disappear
- If your Petpet is evaporated by the Petpet Lab Ray, your Petpetpet will also disappear
