    I ALWAYS DO!
    I mean, I looked at neocolours more than once to decide which neopets I like best so maybe I can get them in the future.
    Normally I won't find any of them cute. However once my lab rat turns into one, I suddenly don't want to zap it anymore :(
    For example, My yellow aisha turned tyrannia, and it looks kinda cute, and the collar is pretty fuzzy.
    But...he's going to get morphed soon so boo :(

    I <3 my lab pet...or at least I did until it turned blueberry and then lime... XD
    I hope that someday soon it will get zapped into something much cooler...or at least something that does not look like a lumpy green pillow...

    I get attached only if I came up with the name. I don't get attached to the pet as much as the name lol. I have such a hard time letting go of them sometimes that I end up GUPing them a few times after ugly species changes until I finally give up and blame the pet for my bad lab luck and toss them. XD

    Yea. I keep having to get a new lab pet cause I decide that I like what I have. My first lab pet I ended up making him magma, and my second lab pet just became a mutant koi (which is ugly but I really wanted a koi so I'm keeping it as is and eventually painting it). So I have to keep creating new pets, which gets a little annoying.

    I've gotten to the point where I pound surf to find a new labbie. Why spend forever coming up with a name when there are plenty of perfectly good WNed pets floating around the pound? And that way I also don't get as attached to them and just put them back if they zap ugly. :D

    I did that with my latest one, because I was looking for an avie pet.

    ohh it's such a once in a blue moon thing I always get stats/gender/no change. Maybe once a month for color/species changes? Something like that ><

    theres only been one that i actually got really attached to, and it was because of bd stats more than its color

    it became a permanent part of my account when i usually trade off or pound lab pets

    I'll rephrase what I said earlier. I'm very attached to my lab pet, I just don't zap it for species changes, so I won't stop until I feel like I'm ready to morph him into a draik, and then I just won't use the lab map anymore because all of my pets will be complete

    I don't have the lab :(

    But I'm sure I would get attached to a lab pet.

    Actually, if I made its name ugly/stupid enough I probably wouldn't

    I usually lab pets I'm already attached to so when they turn into something that I really like, I just become even more attached! xD

    I hate it when my pet turns into a nice colour or species because I do get a little attached sometimes.. And the purpose of me buying the lab ray was to train my pet xD So to make it worth it, I force myself to zap it once again =(

    when I make a pet I know what pet/colour I want it to end up being, even for a lab pet. I'm surprised that other people don't do that
