You can now send pets to your friends! This can be accomplished by going to your pets page, and clicking on the pet you'd like to send.
Choose the option "Give pet to friend" and you can send it to anyone on your buddy list.
Reminder: There is no pet selling or trading on Subeta. If you are caught selling pets and sending them via this method, you will be frozen. :)

Sounds and looks like tradingXD I'm sorry but sending a pet? Yep, sounds like it<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
Its a start, just carefully look into what the users are saying and alter it from there. It's not perfect yet.
Exactly, Joyberry.
I think on neo it doesnt work because its 'about the value of a pet' but HERE on subeta, in our community, I think people will trade pets for the sake of giving away a pet someone wants and getting one in return. At any rate, if my friend really wanted one of mine, and I really wanted one of theirs-- is this suggesting that making that 'exchange of sending' would count against us?

Uh, to me, this is a little stupid. Other then the fact that you gain another pet what's the difference between trading and sending? If you're going to let people send pets over to each other you might as well let them trade. Because no DOUBT people will use this as a trading thing. Unless you keep your eye's wide open for that there's no preventing it. Even when you do watch over this like a hawk, you're likely to miss some trading.
Almost everyone is saying that trading shouldn't be allowed because people should work to gain their own pets. So how does that not go into effect when it comes to sending pets?

No trading? How silly. I thought it was awesome when neo finally allowed trading-- but they made it stupid. You can only do it a limited number of times per whatever amount of time.
And here we finally have the ability to send pets, but can't just trade them? Pffft.
Neat feature, shame it doesn't encompass multiple situations other than "I don't want this, here."

I say you'tr just in time<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> although i'm new to the site i'm sure older members wonder what took you so long...now i can bug my friends to join the site and rescue pound pets that fit them at the same time so they have no excuse NOT to come MUAHAHAHA
I dislike. As people below have said, this is going to encourage pet lending for the BC. Isn't the BC being revamped to prevent lending and to encourage people to earn stuff themselves?
Lol...
So late! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sigh.gif" border="0" />
someone adopted my pet when I was trying to give it to my friend haha

Please NO trading all! That's the biggest reason I left Neopets. People get greedy.
I do like that people can give there pets to friends safely incase they want to make a new one.

this is a awesome idea as i adopt alot of pets and have lost them while trying to find homes but everthing has its ups and downs.thank you subeta staff for a awesome site it just gets better every week.
LOL I like the drama this pet sending thing has caused xD I bet Keith is laughing at us, ROFL!
I doubt i'll use this feature, unless I have another foster pet. But it's nice to know I can rely on it!
Thank you for this! I've adopted several pets (and thankfully I managed to catch all of them) but I'm always worried that I'll be too slow and someone else will snag the pet before me.
Also, does the person receiving the pet have to click an accept button before they get it? Because it's unfair if there's no accept button and someone sends you a pet that you don't want.
Lmao, I love how this was added a couple weeks after I lost an Angelic pet that was supposed to go to me to a dumbass pound snatcher (who is not frozen ofc.). xDD
IRONYYY. Owell, I'm so glad this feature is here now! <33
Thank you so much everyone who made this possible! <3
Now people won't feel the rage of losing a pet like I did! ;D

Thank you SO much. As it so happens, I was just having a pet dilemma because of a lack of free pet slots. Now I can ask my sister if she'll hold a pet for me without having to worry about pound snatchers. Keep being awesome, Subeta. ^-^
This is awesome! I'm glad trading still isn't allowed, but now pets can't be snatched in the pound! This makes any plans of me trying to enlist friends to snag names ten times less nerve-racking
I love this idea, but my question is if I send my pets to my Mom to hold so I can get the "room for 1" achievement, will this pose a problem and look suspicious? She would only obviously have them for as long as it took me to get it.
Nice for adopting but I think only idiots will try to get away with trading. It's -clearly- against the rules. No more pound sniping for adopters, yay!
...This is awesome. I've been waiting to see something like this for a long time. Not that I would ever really use it. ^^;
Where is the line drawn for pet trading? Like, let's say I send one of my pets to my friend because they like that pet, and they say "hey, I know you've always liked PETNAME, and I don't want him anymore, so you can take him". Is that considered pet trading, or just an exchange?
Common sense dictates that pet trading would be considered "I'll give you this Galactic Kora if you give me that Reborn Paralix", or "I want a Bloodred Kumos, and you can have any pet of mine in exchange", or "What will you give me for my Nightmare Chelon?". But does pet trading include "Thank you for that Glacier Lain. Would you like my Spectrum Montre?"
... Either way, I kind of wish we had this back when that one person quit and offered me Byakko. He would have gone so well with my Suzaku <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
Oh well, at least Byakko has a good home... and I still have Byako (just one K less)

Just like how it is for Neopets. I do not want that to hit here. :/ Personally I'm glad trading is still disallowed. Thank you Subeta!

Well, we had trading here, before Neopets allowed it, it was already forbidden here though.

Trading pets is an absolutely terrible idea for a larger website like Subeta. It won't be long before people start sticking "value" tags on pets... I could already envision something like, "This pet is UFT! Seeking other rare pets of the same value!"

Not doing this. If I want a really cool pet, I'll just wait til I get my loyality box and make it. I got rid of one already, and I think that's enough for me.
... What the hell is up with me and misreading lately? Yeesh.
Anyways, disregard my first bit of that.

A more efficient way? Seriously? How do you propose this system is improved? It's straight forward, and if people are going to lend pets for achievements, setting up safeguards is never going to prevent that. People will do what they will do.
And really, you are presuming yourself as well. While you yourself may have had no worries, there are people who land on both sides of it. And really, it does make things MUCH more straight forward instead of setting up a transfer time, confirming it, etc. etc.

I have two questions:
Seems like a rather gray area. Other than that, eh?
- Will we be allowed to have 'collateral'/tips/etc when we lend pets (if lending is even allowed)?
- If so, how will this be distinguished from selling pets? Just making sure the items get sent back at the end? That seems like a large amount of work.

Actually, you couldn't be farther from the truth. You know what they say about assumptions....
I've made a few adoption threads back in my more active days and I never had a problem. Check older topics if you'd like. Though it may have made you nervous, there was and still would be a way to do it safely and efficiently is all I'm saying.

@Ayakat
The term 'pet hoarders' refers to the users who stalk the adoption forums, apply for pets, get them, and then get bored of them, going through them like water just for the sake of having that "OMFG AMAZING NAME". People do it. I saw it over the two month span I spent searching for a pet to fill my last slot- I went to the board again recently, and saw the same users searching for a pet to fill their last slot permanently. For the umpteenth time. I guess pet hoarders is a personal term. xD Sorry for the confusion, as I'm now realizing the term doesn't fit the description.

That'll make things easier for people who want to adopt older pets. ^^ I got my Pandoras_Illusion that way. And Remithian. I would zap pets for others but I am too in love with each my 13 pets to give any up and free a slot. They are my babies.

You really aren't very familiar with the pet threads, are you? Seriously, this will be a huge help for all of the people who zap and adopt out pets. Not to mention people do give pets to their friends, and using the pound makes some people really nervous.

Not that I'd do it, as I love my pets, but if someone has 11 pets slots (the +5 for the GA and +1 for the loyalty box) and then sent all but one of their pets out to get the Only Room for One achievement, would they lose their +1 slot, going back down to 10?
Also, "So yeah. I don't see why this feature was needed, except to encourage laziness among pet hoarders. "
Pet hoarders? This phrase doesn't seem to really fit the whole Subetian way of life since we can only have 1 account and therefore, only the pets that that account has space for. It's hard to "hoard" pets, even with super extra deluxe pet spots. :/

I remember when there was pet trading on subeta... sighs I miss those times <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> and thanks, this will make things easier.
I fail to see the benefit in pet swapping. If it's for achievements then the acheivements should be hard-earned, not an easy swappie with a friend. There's more satisfaction that way. Same goes for the BC, tbqh it should be another case of DIY. Things in life don't just get handed to you, it's gonna detract from the fun of earning an acheivement or winning a BC tourny when it's too easy.
Agreed @Something_wicked and @RISQUE. While I see all the advantages of making safe transfers of pets, associating it with an achievement is bait for this to be abused. Sure you can send it to a buddy on your list, but it can only be stressed so much that you should only do so with users you trust.
For anyone that plans to try using this to sell your pets, enjoy your ban.
People with enough friends with open spots may even be able to retroactively grab the "Room for One" achievement.
Nice new feature, but cautious optimism for all the issues that may come with it.
