It's probably just hungry or very tired. You should buy it a place to sleep and you must feed it regularly. There's something for every pet and some, like goodies are suitable for all.

All pets names are case sensitive so make sure you are typing it exactly as you originally spelt it when you bought the pet. To check, click once on the pet and see it's name and breed. Just make sure if your pet's name starts with a capital letter, you're spelling it like that. I.e. If it's name is Magic, it won't respond to magic.

Also, make sure you are shouting the name as the pet can only hear if you shout. Sometimes pets are just grumpy so try and be patient with it.

Pets have special relationships with their owners as they are the ones that take care of them. Your pet knows that which is why it's sometimes better behaved for its Habbo owner. It is also the reason the pet will only do some commands if the owner is telling them to.

Commands anyone can use are:

sit: Makes the pet sit down

lie down: Gets the pet to lie down

jump: Makes the pet jump up

speak: Gets the pet to bark/meow etc

good: Boosts pet's ego and makes them happy

These commands can only be used by the pet owner:

heel: Gets your pet to follow you

come here: Makes your pet come to you

beg: The pet will beg for a reward from you

go away: Your pet will move away from you

bad: Tells your pet off

sleep: Makes your pet go back to it's basket for a nap

play dead: Your pet will roll onto it's back and 'play dead' for a few minutes.

Play with your pet, feed it, keep it healthy, make sure it has enough sleep, show it attention, teach your furry friend commands and practice them daily. These are all ways to keep a pet happy. Mainly make sure it is fed, has water and is gets exercise. Pets are happy when there are Habbos in the room but they are most happy when they're with their owners.

Just make sure the food is near your pet. If it won't eat, it means it's not hungry. You can check this by viewing it's well-being. It will eat when it's hungry as long as the food is nearby and it can get to it.

Food does not go off, just make sure your pet gets one portion of food a day or it'll go hungry.

The pet would get confused if it constantly had new owners!

Also, buying a pet is a commitment, you must be prepared to look after it long-term rather than just have it on a whim.

Habbo Hotel also wanted to cut down on scams. Just remember - you cannot trade pets. If someone says you can, they're scamming.

Your pet cannot get flu or any kind of virus. The only time it'll show signs of illness, is if you don't take care of it. If the pet is starving, it will get weak and sad and sleep all the time.

No, Habbo pets live forever!

Just double-click on the bowl to re-fill it. You can do this as many times as you like. You don't need to buy another water bowl unless you want a different colour.

No, all pets in Habbo Hotel are neutered before they go on sale. We didn't want to load you with the responsibility of having to look after/feed lots of young. We also wanted to avoid the hotel being over-run with animals!

No. You must remember to type the name correctly when you buy it. Check it over before you click to buy.
