  • Chrissy Teigen loves Neopets, and started playing with her digital pets again.
  • She used to be such a big fan that she won caption contests and moderated the game's web forum.
  • Fans of Teigen — and Neopets — took to Twitter to chat about the game.

Chrissy Teigen found something new to do during her pregnancy: playing with her Neopets.

The model tweeted about her Neopets obsession on Thursday, and mentioned that she also ran a web forum for the game. If you're not familiar, Neopets is an online game that peaked in the early 2000s; it encourages users to care for and feed virtual pets.    

 

Of course, Teigen's tweets made fans of the game feel nostalgic.

This isn't the first time the model's mentioned the virtual reality game. She brought it up on Twitter in 2012. 

Chrissy Teigen did not immediately respond to INSIDER's questions about her Neopets.
