LekkerPetsA pocket full of friends

Yes. You can play, care for your pets, grow them up and win packs without paying anything. Random packs are always earned by playing and are never sold.

It's South African slang for great, nice or delicious. Lekker pets are pets that make you smile.

No. It plays in your web browser; just open your first pack. A free account is optional: it keeps your pets safe and lets you play on more than one device.

Never. Pets get hungry, sleepy or a bit messy over time, but they never get hurt. When you come back, they're just happy to see you.

Every care action builds your bond. With enough bond a baby becomes a junior, then an adult. Lots of play leads to one adult form, naps, baths and cuddles to another, and favourite treats to the third.

The Arcade has five quick games (more unlock as you level up). Reach a game's goal score to win a Treat Pack, up to 2 a day across all games. You also earn coins and stars.

You start with a bedroom and unlock the Garden, Sky Loft and Crystal Grotto as you level up. Place decorations, wallpaper and floors from your Bag. Placing something never uses it up.

You can have two pets at home at a time. The others rest in the Sanctuary Meadow, where they never get hungry or lonely, and can come home whenever you like.

Your first pack has a 8% chance of a Baby Dragon. Packs you earn can also hold Rare Egg Fragments: 8 fragments hatch a Rare egg, and you're guaranteed a fragment at least every 25 packs.

If you saved your pet to an account, open the game on the new phone and sign in with the same email. Your pet comes right over.

Yes: no ads, no chat, no trackers, and accounts for players under 18 need a parent's approval. See the parent guide and our privacy policy.

Purchases are optional and go through PayPal, so we never see card details. Every paid pack lists its exact contents before you buy.

Yes, if something went wrong: we always refund a purchase that didn't arrive and that we can't fix, a payment taken twice or for the wrong amount, and anything that went through because of a fault in our parent approval. Changed your mind? Ask within 14 days while it's unused (a pack not opened, a Pass Pack not claimed). A pet you have raised is never taken away. Email hello@lekkerpets.com. Read the full refund policy.

Players under 18 can't pay themselves. They send a request; a parent gets an email, sees exactly what it is and the price, and approves or declines.

No. The game is complete without spending anything, and everything important can be earned by playing. Paid packs always list their exact contents, and random packs are only ever earned by playing.

The store charges in US dollars so the price is the same everywhere. We show an approximate amount in rand next to it; your bank converts the final amount.

A Pass Pack every month with a new pet and theme, 4 Arcade packs a day instead of 2, double Arcade coins and room for four pets at home. See the Pass page.

Your Pass starts at Month 1 the day you join, whenever that is. Pass Packs 1 to 12 arrive one a month, starting with Pack 1 the day you join, so it doesn't matter which calendar month you join in. If you stop and come back later, you carry on with the next Pass Pack you haven't had.

Everything you already received stays yours forever. The extra daily packs and pet spaces stop at the end of the paid period, and no pet is ever lost.
