Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wash my Zebonky?

Yes, gently! We recommend spot-cleaning with a damp cloth. We wouldn’t recommend tossing them in the washing machine or dryer (they tend to get a bit WILD when contained). Let them air dry so they stay as soft and snuggly as ever.

How big are Zebonkies?

Each Zebonky plush is about 12 inches tall, the perfect size for hugs and adventures. Big enough to snuggle, small enough to travel (yes, they fit nicely in backpacks. And yes, they will demand the window seat).

Do Zebonkies come with anything additional?

Absolutely! Every Zebonky comes with a character field guide (their Z-Journal!) that summarizes their species, tells their backstory and personality, and explains their magical Z-bolt (a mark of their unique powers).

The Z-Journal is filled with fun prompts that help kids get to know their new wild friend.

And don’t toss the box! Each Zebonky’s packaging doubles as a display case and a mini stage for imaginative play, perfect for setting up your own little corner of Zebonkia right at home.

Will there be more Zebonky characters?

You bet your Z-bolt! We’re always dreaming up new hybrid creatures from the world of Zebonkia. But it takes a lot of time to think through the perfect quirky name, the interesting animal blend and the fun visual aesthetic. The next batch of wild, weird and wonderful friends will be here soon!

How did you come up with such a silly name?

ZEBONKY was born from a real hybrid animal, a zebra-donkey mix called a zedonk! Our founder, Katie, loved how weird and wonderful that name sounded and imagined a whole world of hybrid creatures from there.

What do you mean that each Zebonky is designed by an artist?

Chris Fontenot Jr. is a true artist. With careful consideration, pencil and paper, Chris hand draws these magical creatures and brings them to life. To learn more about Chris, and to see his amazing work, check out chrisfontenotjr.com.
