OK I purched a LBOH a couple weeks ago. Since then I have had 3 Pets dissapear from the bag. I Usually keep my pets in it for the zero weight feature. For instance yesterday i took out my Nobles fed all 6 Shrunk them put them in my LBOH and went to Coon. When coon popped i went to get all my nobles out to chew on him and there was only 4 ... same thing happened last week but i was only one short. where it happened a second time i figured id say something here. I even tried emptying my packs to see if the item count was wrong but it was dead on. I know they diddnt hit the floor i looked before i moved on...

Hmm, yes that has been reported before. It's however something I can't recreate so I dont know whether if it's something with your client/razor or the server. Theoretically, putting an item into a backpack simply puts that item into the backpack... some bits get changed in the memory. For that to fail it's practically impossible.
Do you use razor? Maybe some organizer there - probably not, just curious.
I would suggest that for some time, when you are putting the shrunken pets into the bag, that you don't drop them on the small bag in your backpack - instead you should open the bag of holding to full view, and drop each of them in there, and of course watch if any disapear right after you put them in.
Maybe we can locate the problem. There's been a few reports of this, fortunately for us (and unfortunate for bug solving) they've been a lot of time apart so i have no idea where to start looking for this bug.

As Colibri said open the bag and place the item inside manualy, sometimes when i pick items up, my curser will drop them, sometimes they would go into my trash bag so be carefull off that one, as the trash bag might empty on recalling.

O and P.S.: The trash bag doesn't accept blessed or newbied items.
Good thinking +Osiris. Might be that although it shows as if you arent dragging the shrunken pet anymore, it can still be on your cursor and then you would drop it into the next thing you click. Or on the ground. For now i suppose just more caution and concentration when you are storing them.
Would also be very helpful that in case they still disapear when you drop them in, you take a good look in the rest of your backpack and subpacks, around you, on your mount's backpack (if it has one), any indication to show what triggered it or where it might have gone.

Sorry wanted to give you an update. I paged but no one was on due to the holidays i figure. The other day (new years eve) I had 7 Nobles in my LBoH. It was open and I was just at my house. I did my bees and went to bed. (diddnt log out) When i got up the next morning i went to Brit to breed a couple pets (bag closed whne ported) when i reopened it Poof no nobles. I checked everywhere for them but they were gone. Weird thing is i had a full set of armor some gold and kegs in my bag that diddnt poof.

try storing other types of pets in there, and see if the problem persists with those.
i couldnt immagine how, if that made any difference, but if it does it might help isolate the problem.

hehe well i have left a beetle and 2 cu's in there for days now and they are still there. Along with a few nobles. So Maybe the trick is to not have just nobles in it?

Hehe, well, it's not about nobles that's for sure...
One thing i thougt about that's remotely possible, is that when you doubleclick it, the shrink item gets deleted but there would be no pet summoned. But even that is theoretically impossible (needs admin powers and knowing of a complicated command to make it happen hehe).

Hello,
Wish my first post wasn't to discuss something negative but today I had my shrunken lesser Hiyru go poof. I've tamed a fue of them and I can tame more but the fact I used my bonding deed on it bothers me. I did not drag it over to the bag but put it in an open bag. The other shrunken pets I have are all still in a med crate so it was just the bonded that it happened to. Someone ingame said to report it but from what I read it doesn't sound like anything could be done.
edit:
After the crash and rollback I went back in and found my pet exactly where I placed it when it went missing.
