With sunny days ahead, the Grooming Parlour bolstered its stock with a fresh shipment of sunglasses, and the manufacturer has updated this Beauty line with a stylish new look. All the Heart Sunglasses have received an art revamp, and what's more, three new colours have joined the collection! Keep an eye out for your chance to grab a pair of Orange Heart Sunglasses, White Heart Sunglasses,, or Turquoise Heart Sunglasses.



With the full range of colours rounded out, you can now piece together a Jigsaw Puzzle to create the strikingly sunny Rainbow Heart Sunglasses, which are also freezable!



We appreciate when our Users bring bugs and malfunctioning features to our attention! It was reported that the Safe Cracker Avatar wasn't retroactively rewarded, so we went ahead and fixed that on up! Thank you for your continued assistance to make IcePets the best it can be!

A strange humming fills the sound of your ears when you approach the strange book titled, Enchanted Spells. When you try to open it, the book fights back before finally opening and releasing its secrets to the world... if you can read it, that is. Thank you to @LollyX for funding this enchanting new book!

Enchanted Spells is restocking in the Book Shop and will be requested by the Book Quest in one week.



If April showers bring May flowers, then Northern Terrafrostians should be surrounded by plants coming to bloom! Together, all Terrafrostians can help create a beautiful garden -- an Icepets Garden!



To participate, simply take a photo of a plant or flower near you with a sign that says "IcePets Garden". Don't forget to include your username so we know who you are! Want to get creative? Feel free to have your favorite toy, pet, or stuffed animal in the photo too! If you don't have a camera, don't let that hold you back! Digital images submitted will be accepted as well. Please do not trace original artwork or use Google images, but image manipulation of IcePets art to create graphics is acceptable.



All participants will receive a Snow Contestant Trophy and a Woodland Snow Jar. All photos must be posted in this news thread by May 13, 2019 at 23:59:59 IcePets time. Let's make Terrafrost beautiful with all of our photos together.



Additionally, Staff would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has been participating in the Alpha testing. Even if you haven't reported bugs or come up with any suggestions, simply logging in and checking the alpha out has been a help!

We hope you are enjoying the new layout and we will continue to keep you updated as bugs are fixed and new additions to the alpha are released for you to test.

The Makoat community has long desired to show its softer side -- now, it can! The Plushie Makoat Morphing Potion, funded by @Nexinhah, will now be stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo. Get one for yourself or for your Makoat pal!


If you don't want to wait to restock one, you can purchase the Morphing Potion from the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month for 500 IceCash (450 IceCash for Gold Account Users)!

The Alpha Release opens today for testing!



Please note the live site is icepets.com whereas the alpha site is icepets.dev

We are happy to announce that the Alpha Site is now open for testing! Any changes made on the Alpha Site will not impact your live site account in any way, so feel free to explore every aspect! Each User will receive 10,000,000 IcePoints and 5,000 IceCash for testing purposes on the Alpha site.

Members are also free to create a secondary account on the Alpha Site to test features only available to new users. This secondary account will not be available on the live site.



We have two forums available on the live site for Users to report bugs and make suggestions. All Users who login during alpha will receive a participation trophy. All other rewards will be announced later to those who help find bugs!

Please note that the new layout will be in UTC time instead of IcePets Time.



Some aspects of the site will not be available for testing immediately, but are actively being worked on and will be introduced as they are completed. However, there are plenty of exciting features to get started on right away! Come test out the new HTML5 games, the updated inventory system, and get aquainted with new NPCs as well as reconnecting with your favourites! There's so much to explore, so get out there, go wild, and begin Alpha Testing today!
