The Nov 08 biscut rats were available through Dec because of the advent calendar.

Biscuit rats?
-looks at archive page-
So just the tan-ish/pinkish ones were available through December, not the blue one?

Thanks for the confirmation either way :3 I felt like I saw something saying that some of the 08 rats were available for more than a month, but I couldn't find the post to confirm it.

All of them were I thought but I'm not sure on the blue one.

Very helpful, thanks so much.^^

Thanks so much for making this! I always forget about these types of pets. Someone declined a trade with one of my butterwolves because I forgot that they were out for a long time and I was trying to ask for a pet that wasn't released for as long, so this is a tremendous help. Thanks so much!

Yes thank you so much for doing this.

There are so many of those 2nd Gen's and butterfly wolves floating around and I always feel awkward trying to explain how they are worth so little compared to pets released around the same time. This is a wonderful place to refer people to from now on when I come across someone offering one of those 2nd Gen's adopted in July '09 for another more valuable July '09 pet for example.

Glad you guys like the guide :3

I was digging around in my old posts and found this topic (old topic from 2009; don't post in it, or else you'll be gravedigging o__o I'm linking that topic only for informational purposes).
(Also, the "new layout" mentioned in that first post is probably referring to the August 2009 layout change; I believe that one had Avian climbing up the left-hand side, and all of the wooden signs were also on the left side.)

To be specific, I found this post, which explained why some of the long-release pets were taken down. (I'm pretty sure Ricorn was a staff member back in 2009. I don't remember ever seeing Ricorn without a colored name. xD)

The only problem is that I cannot really remember which pets were the ones that were taken down when the layout changed in August 2009, and I'm having trouble figuring out which pets people are referring to in that topic.

I think the thread is only mentioning the pets found in this post (other than the Scribble Gears, which was released in November 2009). I also think that "the one 2nd Gen litter there for the newbies to adopt" that Ricorn mentions is the Gray litter that was released in January 2009.

If someone could help, that'd be great, because I'd love to get rid of the question marks on the front page @__@

Also, that thread mentions Tess Horses as if they weren't down for long, but I thought they were taken down May 20, 2009...?

"Vampire x Mismatch" 2nd gen litter
November 2008 (bottom litter) through late 2009?

I've seen a few of these with "true dates" as late as August '09 not too long ago. I even saw a couple in the pound when I was digging through.

*proof 1 {user's pet}*
*proof 2 {poundie}*

When I just ran back to the pound to find the link, I spotted this one right next to the one I was looking for in the group


EDIT
I think these ones were there early April '10 but removed before the 14th. (old cache for the win.)

*dog from April*

Ooh, that's great! Thanks :3

I haven't seen any of those 2nd gens with true-dates past August 2009 as well, so I'm beginning to think that they were taken down with the new site layout in August 2009.

edit: Thanks for digging up more stuff! I completely forgot about WayBack machine |DD;
