Below are some FAQ taken from Neopet:

How do I play with my Neopet?
There are well over 60 different games to choose from. Some of these you play with your Neopet, others you play as a Neopet's character. To see what games you can play click on Games in the yellow side bar.

As well as the games, you can buy toys from the Toy Shop. Once you have bought something, go to Your Items and click on the toy you wish to play with. You play with your pet by selecting 'play with [your pet's name]' from the drop-down menu that appears.

Can I change my Neopet's name?
No, I am afraid once a Neopet is named, that is what it will always be called. Even if you adopt your Neopet from the pound.

Can Neopets die?
No, Neopets do not die. If you do not look after your Neopet and don't feed it, it will get very hungry and be dying. It won't actually die though and you can nurse it back to full health with enough attention.

Can I create more than one Neopet?
Yes, you can have up to four Neopets. Don't forget you don't need to create new ones, you could always adopt a more experienced Neopet at the Neopian Pound.

What is my active pet, and how can I change it?
Your active pet is the one you are currently playing with. This is the one whose name appears in the yellow side bar. To change your active pet, got to Quick Ref. (Click on your pet's name in the yellow side bar) Your inactive pets will be slightly faded. If you only have one Neopet, it will always be your active pet. If you have more than one and wish to change your active Neopet, simply click on the pet you want to become the new active pet.


How can I change my pets species/color?
There are a number of ways you can change your Neopet's species or colour. Most commonly you can buy a Magical Paintbrush and then go to the Rainbow Pool. You can paint different pets in different colours, go to the Rainbow Pool for the full list before you buy a brush. Otherwise you may waste Neopoints on a brush you cannot use. If you are very lucky you may be given a Paintbrush as a random event, although this is very rare.

You can also try feeding your Neopet a Magical Potion. Different potions have different effects. For example if you fed a Red Meerca potion to your Green Gelert, it would change into a Red Meerca. If you fed it to your Blue Meerca, it would change to a Red Meerca.

You can also risk taking your Neopet to the Secret Lab. You need to collect all nine pieces of the Secret Lab map before you can go there. Once you have all nine pieces, you can fire the ray gun at your Neopet. It is completely at your own risk and absolutely anything may happen to your Neopet, including changing colour or species.

Other magical items may also alter your Neopet, such as Magical Meerca Plushies. Always be wary when giving your Neopet a new magical toy to play with :)
