well, my daughter has a webkinz and when it gets sick, its face turns green and has an icepack and a thermometer. webkinz can’t die or get married or anything like that.
It is impossible for webkinz to die! I read ti on the webkinz question page. You stupid people who think webkinz can die should read it.

I have been on webkinz now for a while and i have had a blast. Now, the website needs to have Adobe FLash Player or somthing. I dont have that and i am trying to download that but i cant! my pet is going to die and i is all because we dont have flash player.

What can I tell you folks. I work for a retailer that sell webkinz. We have pepole that were comming in buying $500 - $600 worth weekly. They claim they are buying them for friends and neighbors???? The shortage is real we never know when the next shipment will arrive or what will be in it and Ganz give the pat corporate BS. I hope we all wise up because if not we are going to be held hostage by these little furry Canadians!

I live in Alberta, Canada and two years ago you could find Webkinz everywhere they were sold. I as a parent at that time couldn’t understand why I would allow my children to go on a unsafe computer sight. About a year and a half ago one of my sons bought himself one. I didn’t pay much attention to the “game”. About six months ago my 5 year old son wanted one so I at that time went on to my other sons website to find out more.Thank God I did!!!! This is a completly SECURE and SAFE an learning website for my kids to be on, 5-12yrs! Needless to say because this mother didn’t initially read all info, my older sons online Webkinz went missing one day.(You have to purchase a new Webkinz every year) And you see because they were not popular the big stores stopped selling them. I don’t think I can count the number of Webkinz this family has anymore but I can tell you how hard it is to find them. All of our city stores ( 6) have had less then 10 Web/Lil Kinz in stock in the last 6 weeks!!!! Each store says the same thing ” We order them, sometimes we get what we ask for. The stock doesn’t come in on any particular day, it just comes when it comes” That exact comment came from 5 out of 6 stores!!!!! So the Webkinz I love, the sight is amazing but the actual “customer care” is something to be questioned. (And yes I did email them to discuss things nearly 3 weeks ago now-still waiting)

I loved the first note regarding Webkinz and how we as parents have got sucked into the Webkinz world as well as our childern. My kids adore Webkinz, take them everywhere and play in their virtual world. The problem at my house, which has since been solved, is that I, as the mom, can’t get any computer time..my two children are in Webkinz world and get so sad when it’s time to say goodbye. Also, their requests for new Webkinz never stop (I’ve only bought them two). I’m sure like anything else (e.g., Cabbage Patch Kids, Tickle-Me-Elmo) this #1 toy of the moment will take a back seat to the next new “have-to-have-it” toy. If the toymakers are smart, I think parents are going to see a whole new line of “virtual” toys/playgrounds for our kids to play with. Can’t say I’m happy about that.

Well you don’t have to fret as webkinz don’t die and even if they get ill you can have them healthy again in no time. And my kids (as they are younger) always forget to logoff and put their webkinz to bed and nothing bad has ever happened to them.
