Bodhi Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I just made a new pet so that I can zap her and Pound her. I did this so that people can get a painted pet with a good name. However, when I created her, there was a whole thing where a message came up saying it was her birthday and to pick a birthday cupcake out of 3. There were balloons floating up the screen, too. I was pretty surprised. Hahaha! tk421beth and sara1elo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikky126 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm not sure, I actually only realised the balloons on my friends pet's birthday. Either way it sure is neat! Now I wish I hadn't missed my Neopet's birthday! (Also I feel bad for missing it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsparky Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I first discovered my pet's gift in Jan. Here is a post from Nov http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?/topic/43108-new-birthday-cupcakes-for-neopets-birthday/ The cupcakes are different stat raisers. If only I could remember when my pets Bdays are! Could TDN make a reminder/checklist like the avatars or games? Dawn* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Neopets actually lists a pet's birthday on its lookup now as part of the standard information. :) It's listed under Attributes. I'm not sure our system is really set up to send out individual notices, but there are lots of apps and programs and sites where you can input a date and have it send you a reminder. Smartphone calendars come standard with an "alert me for this event" feature and google calendars is free and generally functional. jellysundae and Mouseykins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never remember when my pets' birthdays are either, so I decided one day to add them to my calendar on my iPhone so I'll get an alert on the day. Setting an alert through your device is probably the most ideal way to make sure you don't miss them. :) Anime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthersclaw Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 They have been doing the balloons on the pet lookup since at least neopets' last birthday, I think the birthday cupcakes started around the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rntracy1 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The user lookups were down during my pet's birthday. I was pretty upset about that. It started after two of my pet's January bday, and it was down for my battle pet's March bday. I will try to remember for my last pet's Oct bday. I don't think that was very fair, but Neopets hasn't been very fair as of late. :sad01_anim: Dawn* and tk421beth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertfreak Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I just realized that recently :P I just missed my new Desert draik's Birthday. I got them 2 days after it, but luckily for me they we're born on 4th of July so I would have missed it anyway but still, it's always fun with that!

granny63020 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Just out of curisity I checked when my pets birthdays are. I found that 4 of them all have Nov. birthdays and 1 has a Jan birthday. When their birthdays come around where do you go to get the free cupcakes and balloons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks for the replies, all! I need to check my pets' pages and see when their days are! I noticed in the old topic about it, that people were discussing possible abuse of this where people could create-and-Pound, just so they can get the cupcakes. I think maybe I should drop my plan to create-zap-Pound and just go back to adopt-zap-Pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRose Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 It first happened to me on the first birthday of my two Cybunnies. Only one Cybunny could get the cupcake though. That doesn't seem fair, does it? Bodhi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alola9 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Woah, I've heard of the cupcakes, but where do you go to get them? :O And congrats on getting it :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryAF Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 You have to go to the neopet's lookup page to choose between the cupcakes. The pink one gives you more endurance, the yellow one gives you more strength, and the blue one gives you more defense. You don't have to feed the birthday neopet if you're focusing on raising the stats of a certain neopet. Hope this helps! The earliest I can remember it giving cupcakes was when I created my vandagyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara1elo Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I entered in my pet profiles just after reading this just to discover that today is the B-day of one of my pets and that I missed my beloved Deejenya birthday just two days ago. Ouch! I didn't know this yet! I think it is lovely that Neo celebrates our pets Birthdays :wub_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
