Hiya I came across u viewing Tigris's profile... I'm a new-bie 2 but have just got grips with this HP. All u have to do is buy & sell pets, you earn points by viewing profiles & getting thumbs. To get thumbs leave comments on ur profile or join HP Herds & click on the thumb (10points per thumb received). U can also auction pets but I've not done that yet! Hope this helps ya... Oh & P.S. Watch out for the pet thieves!
