How to Keep a Member Animal When You Turn Back Into a NM

Hey guys have you ever seen some non members walk around Jammaa with an animal such as the arctic wolf or the fox, etc.? Well I definitely have though it's not common but the steps for it is quite simple! Anyways one day I was looking up youtube videos on how to become a member animal for when your membership expires! Note: That this may not or may be still working.
Ok, now heres what to do step by step! Good Luck, and hopefully this glitch still works!
You can be this!

1. Buy a membership to animal jam for at least 29 days
2. fill up all the slots with member only animals except one which has to be the turtle for reasons I'm not sure, but probably because it's a sea only animal. 
3. Pick an animal you wish to play as the day before your membership expires
4. Log on the next day and you'll have a renew now click next and it will say choose
5. The next thing that will pop up it will basically say oops have no slots recycle one and buy a new animal which make sure to have under five hundred gems in order for it to work. 
6. Reload the page and poof! You should be a member animal as a non member

Thank so much hope this helps and so sorry if this doesn't work, but there have been some proofs that it does so it should still be an active glitch. Anyways see you in my next post! Bye!
