Log on to this this site and you can create your very own virtual pet with it’s own distinct personality. Choose from the quiggle which looks like an overexcited frog or a korbat which seems to be a cute cross between a rabbit and a bat, there’s a horse with a mohawk and hundreds of others as well.

Once you’ve created your virtual pet you can take it walkies through the world of neopia. You could start at Neopia Central, do some shopping, divert to Faerieland or then explore Mystery Island. With over 70 million pet owners across the world it’s a huge online community with it’s own galaxy.

For the kids, it’s a playground for the imagination, for parents you don’t need to worry about toilet training and you definitely won’t need a pooper scooper.
