Plugs into any USB port

Back in the 70s, annoyingly enterprising ad exec Gary Dahl hit upon the idea of marketing rocks as pets. Yes, rocks. You can scoff but his amusingly packaged Pet Rocks sold by the bucketload, making him a millionaire. Fast forward thirty-five years and the Pet Rock is back, but this time it’s USB-friendly.

Well, sort of, because the USB Pet Rock is merely a rock on a USB cable – it doesn’t actually do anything. Not a sausage. Zero. Nada. Zip. But that’s what makes it the perfect desktop pet: no walking, feeding or poo pick-ups required. Simply put it on your desk, plug in and relax. ‘Oh, Rocky, you’re so chilled out.’

Guaranteed to confuse and amuse co-workers, each Pet Rock is 100% unique (ish) and compatible with any operating system. You can even take it for a walk to the water cooler by its USB lead. If you’re bonkers. Which, considering your taste in web pages, you clearly are. All together now, ‘I wanna rock!’

I purchased mine a few weeks ago and unfortunately he appears to have run away. He is approximately 5 cm long, is a nice grey colour with a large white spot on his belly, he also reacts to his name ‘Trev’ and enjoys spending his time chasing the neighbor’s cats. I fear he might have become nocturnal to suit his feeding habits. If anybody finds him hook me up with an email at lew*******@hotmail. Co. Uk.

Firebox says: When our one in firebox HQ went missing we found him outside in someones landscape garden, that could be a good place to check.

I think mine may be dead. It turned upside down a few days ago and hasn't moved since. Does anyone know how to tell when these are dead?

Absolutely terrific substitute pet present for my sister who isn't allowed rats. Easy to follow, clear and concise care guide included too. Can't wait to see her face at Christmas! Remember though - pet rocks are for eternity, not just for Christmas! Well done Firebox! :).

Hey guys, wanted to buy this magical animal as a gift for someone. . Was wondering if it came with any care instructions or tips for keeping the critter happy? because I would hate to have to print out and laminate said guide myself.

Firebox says: Hi Ash, Have no fear! the USB pet rock is just like its 1970`s counterpart, It requires no feeding, minimal cleaning and is severely loyal. No laminate required!

As much as I love firebox and its awesomeness but isn't this pointless if it does nothing because you can just go get a rock clean it then take it to work and draw a smiley face on it +its expensive !

So you plug it in and umm doesn't to anything.
Alex Watson, United Kingdom - 5th July 2011

Can you store documents, music, pitcures etc on to it?
Bradley Harris, Bridgend - 24th June 2011

Firebox says: No, it's just a rock that you can plug into your computer.

Do they do boy and girl rocks?

I brought this for a friend as a joke Birthday present but upon seeing "Rocky" for the first time I don't feel I can give him away. I may need a USB hub and get a whole family of them (so they don't get lonely).
