If you adopted them a day later they prob are the rainbow cub, as I’m pretty sure all the others had grown then

I don't think that hoarding is the problem, I think that there's just not enough people adopting the monthly pets anymore. A lot of CS users are here for art or the community, so they don't bother with adopting the pets every month. That and a lot of people just adopt late, so they don't know the outcomes of their pets yet.

I agree. I stopped trading a crazy ton about a year or so ago and kind of just did art and commissions. I still adopted pets but I'd be hours or even a week late to adopting them compared to when I adopted them within the minute they were released.
Hoarding is still kind of a problem, especially with older pets, but it's mostly the combination of both hoarding and people just not adopting or adopting super late that leads into an issue of finding said pets in the moment. I kind of don't understand why people don't just take a breath and try and find them next month when the hype has died down a bit?

Yeah I do think hoarding can be a problem when done poorly, but it isn't necessarily the problem. There is definitely an issue when people are hoarding hundreds and hundreds of a rarer pet, causing many people to miss out on ever being able to get said pet, especially when these people refuse to trade any of their hoard or only accept massive overpay. For the pps lion right now, I think some hoarders are causing some minor issues when they take a bunch of them causing fewer people to be able to find one to trade for. But I think the biggest issue is those that are expecting massive overpay (like 2009 rares) for it, which is not very fair to newer users who don't have things like that and just want to complete the monthly collection.

Most people aren't hoarding Hundreds and hundreds of the rarer pets though . They're just as hard for hoarder to get as for regular people. + Most of the time hoarders overpay, so again they're not going to have the fodder. There is no way the few Very rare + Hoarders are having that much impact on the trading economy .
The difference is they put in the time looking, they don't do minimal work, and expect it to fall into their lap.
YOU too can go though the active online list and see if they have the pet you want for trade - and beat the hoarders to it.

Yep, I do that, I assumed that’s how everyone kind of does it, including hoarders. Apologies if I made it sound like I thought that wasn’t what they did. I got a little off track in my post too so apologies for that as well. My basic point I was trying to go for was that I don’t think hoarders are the biggest problem, rather that it is other factors.

oh my god it's finally over. i think that's the last pet for this month.

it's been a nice month tbh. loved all the litter themes & especially loved the bwolves man

[Cloverstream]

Uhh. this seems like a contentious topic but I will say telling new players to just "try harder" and overpay like hoarders do i'm going to politely disagree with.

[npc]

we had so many pretty pets this month!!! im excited for may >:)

[Omiyage]

I'm not going to stress over the rainbow cub. It'll just make me frustrated so I'm not going to overtrade for it.

I loveddddd the pets this month though, especially that fluffy fuzzy caterpillar PPS 😩👌🐛

Edit: plus I got a whopping FIVE pets added to my favorite greyscale collection! Five!

[Silver Tiger~]

Once rarities come out it should be easier to trade for regardless. I know lots of people refuse to trade pets that don't have one.

[Tybalt]

I'm almost certainly late to the party but what is the hype over this guy?
