    Any tricks to attaching this petpet (Talpidat)?

    (you need an account to see links)

    I just went and spent 500k on this little rascal and now none of my pets want him!

    I've tried changing the languages but because it's a new Neopet, it still says "Talpidat"/there is no translation. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves?

                                         ◞ thank you @KJiU for my Sunflower scene + @kittyray for my lion!

    I think currently there is no way around it via the reddit post : (you need an account to see links)

    Maybe someone with more info might have a better idea.

    @(you need an account to see links) there is a workaround! it just cost np. paint it any other color then you should be able to attach it.. then you'll just have to paint it blue again!

    You can still attach it, you just need to change the language to a non-latin based script (so Korean or Japanese, for instance, will work).

    Can confirm it works as I've done it myself recently

    (changing the colour will also work, as mentioned)
















    was that worth it?

    Thank you for this help @(you need an account to see links) - but how do you paint the petpet if its not attached to a pet?

    Really? I need to know your secrets..
    I tried Japanese, Chinese and Korean and everything on the page changes to that or '????' in my inventory but the Talpidat is still Talpidat.

    I think @(you need an account to see links) means you attach to another neopet (length name different than 8) just to be able to paint it. Then you detach and attach to the pet you wanted originally

    I'm not sure if the language trick would work since Talpidat is a new petpet and iirc they stopped translations a while ago?

    Yes, thank you DarkSkies! Sorry it didn't occur to me you have the unpainted (blue) version, already. xD When I encountered this issue not too long ago with the new bython, I just acquired an entirely new bython in a different color and attached that rather than painting the unpainted version. So depending on the prices of pppbs, purchasing a different colored talpidat pre-painted might be more economical!

    Also @(you need an account to see links) yes that used to work with old site items because back in the day TNT would take the time to translate items into multiple languages. However, the talpidat is only a year or so old so it only has an english version and the language swapping trick doesn't work. (This includes pretty much any new item released nowadays, unfortunately for books you're just SOL...)
