It's so sad though. Like what's the point of having it if eventually you can't do your normal day-to-day neopetting because of icing?
I just stuff them on a side i don't use, wait a few months, move them to my legit side that's linked to a main (still don't go on the boards or mention it), after another few months, name drop that i have it in my guild or amongst friends, then after awhile maybe transfer to my main (still no boards), talk in my guild with it on my account, get people used to seeing it around, maybe give a good luck on the boards or whatever, but keep it non-active, then eventually, it's been seen by enough people who know it's mine and after 13 years of slow moving and chatting, you can finally put it on your main account as active pet and be a pretentious asshat about how cool and elitist you are.
