The first Webkinz Jr. pets were released in April 2009 when they appeared in the [[Ganz eStore]]. The site's construction took some time, but [[Webkinz Newz]] announced the site was ready on April 2, 2009, although the tour and other parts of the site were ready before then. Webkinz Jr. pets cost $25.00 USD MSRP both as a plush and in the eStore.
