| They aren't real. Read the "why" page http://www.brandejs.ca/portfolio/Genpets/Why They were created to illicit a response from people. To see how people reacted when they saw live, genetically engineered pets for sale. It says the older generation was outraged, while the younger generation wanted to buy them. They are more of an experiments.. See how they are made http://www.brandejs.ca/portfolio/Genpets/How From Snopes http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/genpets.asp

| I'm sorry, i'm not getting it. Is it like a computer pet? If you go to the website, you cant order, but "if" you could (says coming soon) it offers 1 yr life span or 3 yr life span. I'm a little confused. And do they make it in a baby model i'll take that.
