Owl Pet starting stats

The new Owl pet comes with stats partially filled in at baby. I assume this is a glitch? It's a serious problem for derby, as it gives these pets a large unfair advantage at teen and adult.

The Bunny Mallow and the Egg Chick hybrid also start with stats.

both my owls and bunnymellows have no starting stats. are yours hybrids or second gen? if they are first generation that would not fair for them to start with stats when the ones purchased do not.

First gen do for sure. I assume hatched do as well, as it seems to be tied to the type of pet.

Are you sure your attributes didn't come partly filled? If not, did you only get them in the past 24-48 hours?

We'll be fixing this for all future Protégé owl, Bunny Mallow, and Egg Chick pets in an upcoming update. Please note, however, that we won't be able to retroactively update the existing pets that are out and already in the game.

all the stats are blank on mine so im sure they don't. i got the bunny mellow the day it first came out, and i got my owl pet the first day they released the new pack after fixing it.
that's odd that some do and some don't.

Well, that's depressing. /:

Is there any way those 3 pets can be banned from ranked derby entirely? A select few people who trained those pets within a certain timeframe will now have an ENORMOUS advantage in teen and adult level derby. The last thing I want is even more people leaving derby/refusing to start derby because of this fatal flaw.

Those species should probably just be excluded from ranked derby. I don't see a fair fix otherwise. That may be disappointing to players who have them now, but less painful to everyone in the long run.

I have teen bunny with mega hurry and cheer costs of 8/8/4/4 That would be respectable for an adult. It's quite OP at teen. Fun, but not healthy for the game.

Apparently the pets coming from the MMORPG promo still have the stat boost, even after the others were fixed.
