Why Stuck Pets?
Stuck Pets was created by a fellow Neopian who loves to find stuck pets in the Neopian Pound. We know all the tips and tricks to find stuck pets. Why not let a Web Developer create a site based solely on stuck neopets in the Neopian Pound? This way you know you are going to have an amazing time searching for stuck pets within our own pound database. With the right tools you can be even closer to finding your dream pet!
Finally, if it still doesn't work, try clearing it again! Surprisingly this does make a difference quite often. If even that doesn't work, move onto the next step. STEP SEVEN: Maybe it's not your fault There have been times in the past when HATPC wouldn't work for anyone because something would go wrong with neopets.com's game servers. They stopped working for me about three months ago, but then were fixed for the last few weeks. The games are now back to not loading properly, and I am just wondering if it is something I'm doing wrong or if there are known issues lately on Neopet's end. Neopets will convert to HTML before Flash loses support in 2020. During a Q&A at San Diego Comic Con, Neopets revealed that the entire Neopets site will be converted to HTML before Adobe drop all support for Flash in 2020. Of course, there is just so much on the site so it will probably be rolled out piece by piece over time. A stuck pet is a pet that is pounded in the Neopian Pound on Neopets.com that doesn't show up when you click 'View More Neopets'. Instead, it is behind the thousands of pets in the pound. For instance if there is a name such as 'AS1' and you pound 'AS0' then 'AS0' won't show until 'AS1' is adopted. So we find these stuck pets and display them.

How do we find stuck pets?
To find stuck pets is a very time consuming process. For every 1,000 searches you may yield only 10 stuck pets. Sounds really boring, right? Well it kinda is. We use multiple dictionaries along with popular names list and create algorithms to use for pet names. There are many possibilities to this, so it takes almost forever. But when you find just 1 Neopet stuck in the pound, it's all worth it.
