 Fun, but know what you are getting into when you buy one of these! April 9, 2008

First of all, the husky is very cute, and my five year old boy is in love with it, and the idea of selling cute stuffed animals that have a second life in a web world for kids is brilliant. But, know what you are getting into when you by one of these.
First, you'll of course have to get the pet "adopted" on the Webkinz web site. Then, you'll have to study the online user manual for the Webkinz web site because unless your child has a certain reading ability, maybe fourth grade, they won't be able to read it all by themselves.
Then of course, you'll have to teach your child what you learned. You might be with your child for a few hours at this site while you both learn your way around. With a five year old it is going to take a while. Of course, you may view it as a bonding experience, so it's not all bad, but there is a time commitment you make when you get one of these.
Then, you'll have to cope with the technical glitches at the Webkinz web site. My ordeal was in getting my son's Webkinz husky to send messages and gifts to another Webkinz husky owned by my son's best friend of the same age. The site has a "post office" where you can send letters and "gifts" to a friend on your "friend list", but they don't tell you on the site how to get a friend on the friend list, so I had to do research out on the Internet to see how this is done.
Once we had mastered that, we found that the mailbox doesn't update with new messages unless you log out of the Webkinz site and log back in again.
Some of the navigation controls on the Webkinz site are very narrow and hard for very young children to master because they require a lot of mouse precision. You may end up sitting with your child at the computer getting them through some of the things they want to do.
Finally, your pet's life is one year on the site unless you buy more Webkinz toys or buy a renewal of your pet at the end of one year. They want to hook you into spending more money. I'm glad these cute little things don't cost too much.
So, now you have an idea of what you are committing to when you buy one of these toys. Good luck!

This furry stuffed animal is adorable and one of the cutest of the Webkinz. This toy is educational and helps children learn more about the computer, how to care for a pet and relate to other children and grandparents that also have a Webkinz stuffed animal.

If your kids love Webkinz this is the one to get. Though the most expensive, it is worth it to see your childs face light up when they see it. It's very adoreable, cute and cuddly. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Webkinz

I bought this Webkinz for my 9 year old daughter for her birthday. She loved it. It seemed to be of good quality and it was very fluffy and soft. She loves going online and playing with the Husky via her virtual pet. It's a little more expensive than the other Webkinz but it does seem to be worth the extra. I highly recommend it.
