Wishing I never got a Zum Buddy :(

If you're not seeing an improvement in the amount of zums you get for playing and feeding your zum, make sure you clear your cache so that you get the updates they did yesterday afternoon.

My zum buddy just had another party and still got no zummies! I really don't understand.

Try clicking on each one, 4 times after the party...it brings the happiness level up, it may party again. I think the key is in how many parties you can get out of them. Not terribly sure, but I can get mine to party on and on this way.

Once your cache updates, you won't be able to do this anymore. Ganz figured that clicking on them was increasing their happiness too easily. Enjoy it while you can though!

I have spent a ton of kinzcash on him buying him toys and more toys and bunches of food. He will play with it for less than a minute and want more. I can't make him happy enough to reward me with more zummies. The only thing I have been able to buy him for his room is a foot stool. when he displays the music symbol over his head, I have no idea what to do for him. I am completely lost on this little guy. I don't know what to do with him. Can someone please help me?

I'm sooo sorry to hear that! I'm sorry again because I can't help that much because I don't know anything about Zum Buddies!! What do you need to buy the toys for him, Zummies or Kinzcash?
If it's Kinzcash try to play tons of Kinzcash awarding games then you might have enough to buy toys.
If it's Zummies than I'm not sure. Do they reuse the toy or is it like food and can only be used once? If you can use it multiple times just give him the same toys over and over again. If it doesn't work then I'm sorry there's nothing else I can do

Yesterday I got no zumms what so ever, but now I see I am getting a few at a time. When I gave my zummie what he asked to play with or the specific food I saw above his head I got 4 zummies, it shows me which ones I got also, like 1, 3, or 2, 2, but ya it is slow!!!!!!!

Oh Boy I didn't realize these little guys were so difficult to take care of. (Glad I looked at this thread). My kids want me to go out this afternoon to try and see if we can find Zums at our Hallmark or Justice, but now I'm not sure it would be worth it. We had enough frustration chasing that ghost last week. I'm not sure I want to waste my week trying to please a Zum. I may have to come up with an excuse - Maybe I'll call to make sure they don't have them then I won't feel like a meanie - I can just blame the retailers.

They really aren't that difficult to take care of. The only difference now is they do require the use of KC to buy the items that they like. If your accounts have extra KC, it shouldn't be a problem. They are actually quite fun to play with now since the update, and people are actually being awarded zummies on a regular basis too. The plush zums are really adorable too and my kids love them as well.

Aww! Sorry you're having so much trouble. I don't have a zum buddy yet, but I guess I'm not going to get one for a little while until all these glitches are fixed.

Hope it all sorts out, soon! Good luck!

I saw a lot of them yesterday at Hallmark and at the mall. I wanted to get 1 but I been reading people having problems with them so I didn't get 1. Now I am thinking its probably not worth the money. I got a webkinz care pet its better. I just hope I get 1 of those cool outfit with it we will see.

Ever since the update the effort needed to take care of your zums is not much. This is more like a game and not like taking care of you webkinz. Everyday the zum's start at 50% happiness so your progress is only tracked daily. The Zummies are being awarded very often so just keep giving it food/toys and you will get zummies to buy things for either your zums or your regular pet.

I notice that the more zums you have in the room the quicker you zummies count will go up as there are more zums available to give you money. I have 6 zums and put 5 in one room and left one alone. I just play with the 5 zums in one room. The animations are really cute especially when they play together.
