Oh my, would you look at that! A lovely new colour for Chomby is now available! Take a dip in the Rainbow Pool today to check out the new Valentine Chomby!

Well, whaddya know? The Valentine Yurble is here!!! You can give your very own Yurble this caring new look by taking it over to the Rainbow Pool and painting it by using a Valentines Paint Brush.

Love isn't the only thing in the air this time of year, the new Valentine Buzz is here!!! If you happen to purchase a Valentines Paint Brush from the Event Shop you can use it to give your very own Buzz this radiating new look!

We hope you've had a lovely post-Valentine's week! Fortunately for you, we're not quite finished celebrating just yet! Taki is currently in search of various Heart Shaped Candies, which have been spotted coming from several different activities across Neopia, and will exchange them for a collection of lovely prizes so long as you have enough!!! You can head over to the Event Shop to view all of the various prizes currently up for grabs. If you get a hold of any of the different types of candies you can check how many you've accumulated over in your Event Pouch. Candies will stop falling on March the 8th though Taki will keep her doors open for a bit longer if you're unsure just which prize you'd like to exchange your candies for!

If you're able to get hold of any of the 6 different Valentine's Cards available from both the shop and random events you'll find a small treat or perhaps even two inside! Remember though, Valentine's Cards are meant to be shared with those you love- sharing is caring, after all!

We'd like to give a special thanks to Meggan for helping develop this small Valentine's celebration event and to corprus as well for making the lovely art for the candies!!!

Get em while they're hot!!! Hubert of Hubert's Hot Dogs has recently started to stock his favourite foods for his fellow Neopians to purchase! If you're a Hot Dog aficionado then his wares might just be everything you've ever needed!!!

Love is in the air as the new Valentine colour has been released alongside the Valentines Paint Brush!!! If you're able to get your hands on one of these new brushes you'll be able to take one of three species to the Rainbow Pool to give your pet a loving new look! We'd like to give a special thank you to Elfy for creating the art for the new brush!

The Valentine Aisha by chanty is now available! If you happen upon one of the aforementioned Valentines Paint Brushes then you'll be able to give your very own Aisha this heartfelt makeover.

If you fancy a Hissi in the new Valentine colour then you're in luck as the Valentine Hissi is here!!! This lovely new colour can now "be yours" by grabbing a Valentines Paint Brush.

Finally, chanty has also graced everyone with the Valentine Ixi!!! This new makeover can be given to your own pet by taking your Ixi to the Rainbow Pool or by visiting the Secret Laboratory if you've found the way...

Oh dear!!! The Meri Acres Farms Gardens appear to have been ransacked! Lucy is in dire need of some help to solve the mystery of who, or what, could have possibly ransacked her garden! If you're able to help her out she'll reward you handsomely and grant you access to the gardens, allowing you to grow plants in your very own NeoGarden!!!

In your NeoGarden, you're able to plant seeds you find during your adventures in Neopia. The different types of seeds all grow a different variety of items so it's best to plant a variety of seeds if you're able!

Once planted, you'll need to monitor the health of your plants. If their hydration gets too low, they'll be guaranteed to become diseased. If they're diseased for longer than 72 hours the plant will die and you'll receive nothing, so it's best to keep them in tip-top shape! Should your plant become diseased at all while growing, visit the Neopian Garden Centre and purchase a bottle of Plant Cure to get it back to being good as new!

To keep your plant hydrated, you're able to pour several water items onto them such as Bottle of Water and Two Bottles of Water. Your plant's hydration level won't decrease while it's diseased, however.

Obviously, taking constant care of your plants can be quite a pain in the neck. In order to help mitigate this, there are several items that you're able to add to your NeoGarden as decorations. These decorations will provide certain bonuses to help reduce the amount of work you're required to do to successfully harvest your plants. You're only able to place 3 in your garden at any one time however, so you'll want to mix and match in order to receive the best bonuses that suit your routine.

Finally, we'd like to thank several people for making this update possible. In no particular order, special thank you to:

• chanty - For creating the Shellow art!
• ryoukishi - For proposing the idea for this update along with several pieces of art for the quest and items!
• sidefury - For creating the art for the regional seeds!
• corprus - For creating many new Jr. Petpet species and providing the art for them!

The Shenkuu Lunar New Year is upon us and to celebrate ryoukishi has created the Shenkuu Lunar New Year Packet!!! They're stuffed with goodies from a faraway land that'll pop out when you play with any Neopet using the packet. If you're lucky enough you might even come across the elusive Orange Kiko Jr.!

You'll be able to find these packets across Neopia for the next week through random events!
