Guide: Extended release pets

[CaptainSpank]

Hum..., wondering a bit about this Pet actually...:



(Click on the Pet to access its real Page...)

Owner: Pound
Pet ID: 7305716
Pet's name: Nova
Adopted: 2009-12-18
Age: 2751 days
Growth: Full-grown
Rarity: Very rare

I Find it in the Archive under April 2009, but it was adopted on 2009-12-18.

I don't find it listed in this Guide...
=> Or were Pets re-released already in 2009 on Decb 18th...?

As far as i know re-releases on dec. 18th were already happening back in 2009 (:

Ah OK, Thanks @Joof, then that explains it all indeed...

Because the Re-release Date for 2011 is Decb 21, I think..., I always took for granted Re-released Pets only started in 2011, and only from 2012 the Date became Decb 18th...

Nice to hear from you btw, ah-ah...!

Oh yikes haha

Rereleases have happened every year on December 18, starting in 2008. In 2011, there was a second rerelease day on December 24 due to a miscalculation on the first rerelease day that year. So the rerelease dates are as follows:

December 18 in all years from 2008 through 2016 (inclusive)
and December 24, 2011

Okay, Thanks @nickjr for all those Precisions...

Hi^^ I was looking for info on this guy when I was trading:

This one in particular that I came across was adopted at the start of October (archived with the September rats). I'm wondering how long he was available for?

I believe all the September rats were available until November 8, at which point they were replaced with the November rats (there was no rat release in October).
The new November rats were announced on the news page on November 9, but there are some adopted as early as November 8 (x, x). Here is a September rat adopted on November 8.
I haven't looked further to find November 8 adopts of every single outcome, but saw several that were also adopted in early November, so I think it's safe to say they were taken down together.

On a related note: The November rats were available until shortly after December 2008. Here is one adopted in January 2009.
According to the news, January pets were released on the 5th, so I suppose that's how long the November rats stayed up. Guess this also puts an end to the question from page 2 about whether or not the blue rats were available for as long as the reddish ones.

"Extended" Release Pets, I would have a Qt about "Limited" Release Pets, actually those 5 BW's (2nd Litter), listed in the Archive as being from March 2014, but I've been trying since a few months to get any of those 5 adopted before 2014-03-17, to no avail...!
I checked as well the Collections and Pets for Trade from a few "older" Players on CS, same thing again those Pets have each time been adopt between 2014-03-17 and 2014-03-19.




But they are listed as "March 2014 Pets" and not as "St Patrick's Day 2014 Pets", so I would expect to be able to find some from before 2014-03-17...

=> The Qt is, am missing anything, and can I keep those 5 on my WL, trying to find them adopted on the 1st, or is there a mini-Mistake in the Archive...? (Or any other Reason...?)

Those Bwolves were indeed not available prior to March 17 ^^ They were released to celebrate the birthday of their artist, DoctorDraca, which simply happens to be on the same date as St. Patrick's Day.

Ah OK, Thanks @ZEL, you demystify it then, ah-ah...!

Could be handy maybe to add a mini-Mention in the Archive about that..., as the "Staff Birthdays" Classification disappeared after 2010...
