What is Whyville Insider All About?

So you may be wondering, what IS Whyville Insider? Well, I can tell you what it's not.

Whyville Insider is NOT a cheat site.  If you're looking for cheats, you've come to the wrong place. I do, however, post game tutorials and helpful tips. I do NOT give the answers or cheats to games, I don't show you how to remake or how to hack an account or scam. I believe in fair play, both in real life and in Whyville.

Whyville Insider was originally created a few years ago by me, jelloroks, to write an article to win the coveted Whylitzer. I had seen so many useless blogs created on the internet, where a person would win the Whylitzer, and never post on it again. I didn't want to do that. I stuck with my blog. I updated it with Whyville news and events, games, contests, quizzes, game guides and reviews, and more. And to my surprise, Whyville Insider was a hit! Many Whyvillians had commented on blog posts or y-mailed me and told me how much they loved my blog. I even had a few city workers mention it! I was thrilled.

As I got older, I stopped visiting Whyville as much and consequently stopped updating my blog as often. One day I decided I would log into Whyville again and check up on Whyville Insider, and to my dismay, Whyville Insider was POOF, gone. Erased from the internet. Non-existant. And why? I have no idea. So after trying and failing to revive my blog, I recreated it. I was able to find and repost some old articles I wrote on the new Whyville Insider. Unfortunately, I could not find my Whylitzer article.

Anyway, here's to the rebirth of Whyville Insider! *clink*

Critter Care Tutorial: Part 5, Rat

Critter Care is a fun game that can earn you instant clams as well as up to 15 clams of salary. In Critter Care, you work in a lab and help take care of animals. You feed them, give them water, clean the cages, and help keep them healthy.

There are 5 animals in Critter Care you can take care of: fish, frog, pig, pigeon, and rat. In this tutorial, I will show you how to take care of the rat.

First, go to the Critter Care lobby and click on the clipboard that says "rat". Next, click on a rat cage to begin. On the right of the screen, you will see a little white piece of paper. Click on it to see the animal's history report (and I don't mean on the Civil War).

The Report will tell you when was the last time the rat had been fed, the water was filled, the cage had been cleaned, the rat's energy level, and and a scale that will help you determine whether the rat is underweight, overweight, or at a healthy weight.

• If the rat's energy is low, give them an apple to snack on. Click and drag the apple onto the cage.
• If the cage is dirty, clean it. Click and drag the soap onto the cage. You may have to do this a few times until all the droppings are gone.
• If the water bucket is not full, give it some water. Click and drag the water icon onto the tank. You may have to do this a few times to fill it up.
• If the rat is a healthy weight, and it's food bowl is not full, give it some food. Give one scoop if it was fed 1 day ago, and 2 if it was fed four days ago. 
• If the rat is underweight, fill up the food bowl. If the rat is overweight, keep it half-full.

Reasons to Red Tag:

• The cage has not been cleaned in a while (at least 4 days), but there are no droppings. This means the rat is not excreting waste, and there is something wrong.
• The cage is very dirty even though it was cleaned just a day ago. This means the rat is excreting too much waste.
• The rat has not been fed in a while (at least 4 days), but the food bowl is still full.
• The water bowl has not been filled in a while (at least 4 days) but the water bowl is still full.
• The rat is underweight or overweight.
• The rat's energy level has been low more than once.
• The rat has Rat Eye Disease. See image below.
• The rat has Rat Unkempt. See image below.
• The rat is pale. See image below.

Once you have correctly tagged all four cages, click "submit lab report". You will instantly earn 15 clams. Once you have done this 3 times, correctly tagging 12 cages in all, you will receive 3 clams of salary and a total of 45 instant clams.

Good luck! I hope you enjoyed these critter care tutorials!

• If the pigeon's energy level is low, give it a handful of seeds. Click and drag the seeds onto the cage.
• If the water is not full, fill up the water. Click and drag the water icon onto the cage. You may have to do this a few times to fill up the water completely.
• If the cage is dirty, clean it. Click and drag the brush onto the cage. You may have to do this a few times for the cage to be completely clean.
• If the pigeon is a healthy weight, fill up the food bowl.
• If the pigeon is underweight, give it one extra scoop of food. If the pigeon is overweight, keep the bowl half-full.
