In recognition of Neopets' 10th birthday, a variety of celebrations were held in early and mid-November 2009.

Celebrating Neopets 10th Birthday Background
10th Birthday / Guide
Awarded to users who visited the 10th Birthday Celebration page and collected the prize on November 15, 2009.
Released: November 15, 2009
Over the course of the day, several LE pet species were unexpectedly released at varying times and intervals. Released species included the Chomby, Cybunny, Hissi, Jetsam, Kiko, Koi, Poogle and Tonu. Lutaris, Draiks and Krawks were not released.
Game scores could be sent 10 times on the day and for the following week, instead of the usual 5. This was later extended to 10 sends a day for the rest of the year. There were, however, some glitches, which meant players resorted to entering the World Challenge in order to send the full 10 scores.
