Yes, I'm back...sort of
Many things have kept me away...real life icky things
I'd like to sincerely appologize for my disappearance

1) Do i owe you something? Did you pay for a Bloomster and never recieve it? If this is you i need you to PM me, and let me know.

2) This shop is closing down and will not be re-opening as far as i can see...ever. Please don't order anything or bug me to re-open.

3) I will not finish the Bloomster growings. I will not be updating them any further UNLESS you NEVER recieved something you ALREADY paid for. If that's the case...see #1

Thanks to everyone who supported my shops!

Q: How do you obtain a Bloomster?
A: Through Flastsales mostly. Special event auctions and raffles may also occur.

Q: Do I get to pick the gender of my Bloomster?
A: No. In order to keep the population balanced the seeds will have a pre-determined gender

Q: How much do they cost?
A: 500g. Addons and accessories are extra of course ^^

Q: Will my pet get hungry/poopy/angry?
A: No. No food, no poop, no emotions. They WILL grow through seven stages though!

Q: How many can I have?
A: You can have as many adults as you want, but I ask that you limit growing pets (any stage that requires you to direct link) to 2. This is because I have to update all growing pets.

Q: Can I buy 5 at once?
A: No. You may only buy one Bloomster at every flatsale/auction

In order for two Famsters to breed, they must be full grown and their flower must be in full bloom (final stage) !! You also need to have honey, which is not a buyable item. In order to get honey you must have some flowers planted SOMEWHERE in one of your cages. These flowers will eventually attract bees. To get the bees to make honey you must BUY a beehive and place it in one of your cages. After a short time, the bees will produce honey that will show up in your inventory. You will have to 'use' the honey on your Bloomster and then it will be ready to breed (the honey is one time use only...it will disappear from your inventory after 'use').

Bloomsters do not get to choose their mate. They reproduce in the same way that flowers do...bees! The bees will pollinate the female's flower if there are male Bloomsters that are also ready to breed (have eaten honey). Eventually she will produce 2-4 seeds!

Seeds may be given away, sold (for 500g) or auctioned. Please inform me of what you intend to do with your seeds BEFORE you do it. (50% of sales and auctions go back to the shop ^^) If your Bloomster has more then 2 seeds, 1 goes back to the shop to be sold or auctioned

When you purchase a Bloomster, you will also recieve a starter cage, inventory, and certificate:

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Up to 4 Bloomsters can live in the same set of cages. Each one will recieve it's own starter cage, certifiact and inventory!

Please note that the size of the starter cage cannot be changed! Your Bloomster seed NEEDS to be placed in dirt if you want it to grow to the next stage! You may purchase grass or woodchips for your starter cage after the seed has grown!
