Say hello to the marvelous Ancient Zabeu!! This beauty was at the request of the lovely Shade and was drawn by...You guessed it; Hornbuckle! How to get? + = ! Yes, that's right, you need a Zabeu as a Pet already and you must use an Ancient Snow Jar on it to achieve this magnificent beast. You can use one Zabeu Totem and take it to the Mystic Rock to summon a new Zabeu, or transform one of your existing Pets using three Zabeu Totems. The Ancient Snow Jar is available in the Referral Store for 15 Referral Points. If you're anti-social like myself and don't have any friends to refer, you can always purchase a 10 Referral Points Card from the I.C.E. Shop for only 1,400 IC. 1,260 IC for Gold Members!With the Black Friday Sale going on, now's the time to shop! Want to request your own Pet? Check out the Requests Page! Thank you so much, Shade for the request, and thank you Hornbuckle for the fantastic artwork!!

It is that time of year where everyone is going crazy for the mad deals in the shops. Of last years deals, 3 of them didnt make much of a difference. The other 3 however were extremely popular. This means that it makes sense for us to re-release the popular deals from 2011s Black Friday - Cyber Monday: GOLDEN TOUCH DISCOUNT - Receive 30% discount on the items for sale in this very expensive store!DOUBLE ICECASH - The Prices remain the same, but every single purchase receives DOUBLE ICECASH and DOUBLE TREASURE CHESTSREFERRAL DISCOUNT - The Melting Ice Cube and the Evil Traptur MP were (and still are) the most popular selling items from this shop. Therefore we have reduced their price to just 5 referral points each!
At the end of this miniature event (Monday @ 23:59 IcePets Standard Time) all discounts will return to normal!

Gabrielle: Ive ran out of space in my shop. The doors are literally bursting. From this point onwards I have decided not to stock most Morphing Potions, and just stock my passion - Snow Jars. Obviously, I will hold onto the newest Morphing Potions when they are released.. but when they start to get a bit boring I will stop ordering them in. Historian: I knew hoarding these items would pay off All future Morphing Potions that are stocked in the Snow Jar Igloo will only restock for 1 month*. After that point, you will need to find alternative methods of obtaining them.*[This chunk of text is for clarification]. Morphing Potions are not retiring. Although the general rule is that MPs are being removed from restocking after their first month after release, they may be returned to restock, or made widely available again in the future.

Who wants to party with me!?Thanks to the wonderful Tokcando, the Party Zabeu is...Ready to party. Because this is a Zabeu, the only way to obtain the new color is by already owning a Zabeu and morphing it with that fancy Party Snow Jar up there. You can get a Zabeu by summoning a new one at the Mystic Rock with one Zabeu Totem, or by transforming one of your current Pets into one using three Zabeu Totems. Both the Party Zabeu and Party Snow Jar were drawn by the fantastic Hornbuckle! The Snow Jar is stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo for a mere 18,000 iP, but if you can't afford that ((Or you're impatient like myself)) it can also be found in the I.C.E. Shop for 850 IC. 765 IC for Gold Members!Want to request your own Pet color? Check out the Requests page! Thank you so much Tokcando for requesting this playful Pet, and Hornbuckle for the awesome art! What's awaiting you tomorrow? Here's a hint...

I bet you thought we forgot, didn't you? ;D Were you able to guess which 60s Pet we were hinting at yesterday? I'm FABULOUS!!!Boom, baby! 60s Zabeu up in here!! ;D This prancing beauty was funded by the 60s user Kirsty and drawn by the speedy Hornbuckle! Since this is a Zabeu, the only way to get a 60s version of it is by already owning a Zabeu and using a 60s Snow Jar on it. You can obtain a Zabeu by using a Zabeu Totem to summon a new one, or by using three Zabeu Totems to transform one of your current Pets into one. The 60s Snow Jar is already available in the Snow Jar Igloo for 10,000 iP, and you can buy a Zabeu Totem in user shops or by completing the Plot. Thanks so much, Kirsty, for funding, and Hornbuckle for the lovely art! What awaits you tomorrow? Here's yet another hint!
