Where Are My Mini Pets on 12 Month Old Chars

I have two chars both 12 months old on my second account but no mini pets. Bit weird, maybe i have to wait a while for them to appear. Anyone know any more on this???

Thanks in advance

I had a screenshot dating to the creation of my first character. One year to the day later, "/age" still showed 11 months; no pet. But 4 days later it arrived.

Even odder: Same screenshot thing on my second character, but this time it arrived early! (However, it is possible that my screenshot on the second character was taken a couple days after creation.)

If "/age" shows 12 months, that might be a different problem.
