Wild Knuffel get as much food as their new level is per level up.
As p0reviously answered the Wild Knuffel do not show up in profiles with the other Knuffel because we want a separate are for them, but didn't find the time to add that yet, so it will come sometime hopefully soon.

*feels bad for adding another question..* >__>
so when you go and upload the knuffel, is it supposed to only keep on loading..?
edit: tried 3 times..each time it keeps on loading forever until shows the bad request page..(and everything else works just fine for me...) -___-'
edit: nvm. tried with safari and it worked..(i use firefox usually..)

:3 This is awesome! I need to find my tablet pen and get to work on some designs!
I think it would be cool if we also had the option to upload a preview image, similar to the preview images that appear when official Knuffs are released. So that people can have a hint at a later state to get an idea of what they're buying. :3

No, of course it is not supposed to do that. ^^, It seems to work fine with other users, so I am not sure what is the problem though?
edit: I went to my administration page and your Knuffel seems to have gone through fine?

Ahhh I love this feature. ;w; So much fun! <33 I'm going to pace myself and not make another knuffel until my current one is sold out/gone. I don't want to flood the place. XD haha
But seriously, wonderful idea. ;w; <33 Thank you!

Hey guys, first of all I'd like to thank all of you - I am completely thrilled by how well this new feature is received and by all the awesome Wild Knuffel submissions - I knew we had some creative people here, but all these awesome Knuffel are way more than I expected. It makes me really happy to see them.
But unfortunately I also have to reject quite a few submissions, which makes me sad, so I would like to remind people what mistakes not to make and explain them a bit better, so this mistakes don't happen again. It is extremely disappointing to a user to put effort into a Knuffel and then have it rejected after all.
The most reasons why I have to reject Knuffel are:
1. Not clear-cut: The background has not only to be transparent, but there must not be random bits of a white background floating around in the image. No random white pixel around your Knuffel. I am already approving as much as I can, but there must be some minimum standards that have to be followed. Please, if you have problems with the background try asking other users for help!
The best way to get a completely clear background is to work with layers and there are FREE art programs that offer layers, like for example GIMP, so maybe you want to try it out: http://www.gimp.org/
2. Not enough change between the single stages:
I understand that this is really difficult, but it is really really important.
When other users want to adopt your Knuffel all they see is the first stage. They can already see in the first stage whether they like your style, the colors, etc., but they cannot see their future stages so they have to be able to rely on the Knuffel to actually change. Knuffel are evolving pets. If all the change between a stage is adding a pair of socks, this is not an evolution!
Please make sure that your Knuffel changes significantly between each stage!
To give you some guidelines: Try to add at least 3 changes between each stage. It should be even more if the changes are only minor things like adding eyelashes or a ribbon somewhere.
Look at your first stage and at your last stage. The overall feel of the 2 images should be completely different.
I have seen some Wild Knuffel submissions where the change between the first and the last stage was hardly enough change for two stages. I hate to have to reject these, but it just does not work with the concept of evolving pets.
Please try to keep these things in mind.
For the ones of you who had already submitted Knuffel and had them rejected because they did not have enough difference: Your work must not be lost completely, you can try to improve your Knuffel by adding many more changes. Look at already existing Knuffel to get a better idea:

Ah, those are some great tips, Firn! *v* Having a minimum number of changes to make and an example does help a lot --I have a good idea of where my knuffel will start and how it will end, but looking at yours as an example helps me with the stages in between.
