If you have the Wolvar or the Oracle cause you have it from an alt from years ago (before the Battle pets were implemented) and its BLUE (rare), the game wont detect it, preventing you to choose the Care Package and you will receive another copy of the pet but a GREEN (uncommon) version. BEWARE.
Just do the quest on that alt, get a green one, and if you have more alts you will be able to choose the reward.

I did a ticket for this and figured it out with 2 gm after several screenshots and stuff.

Save yourself from trouble :D

EDIT: Did the quests again.. didnt get the option to get the Bag, so..

TL;DR: If youre after bags, stay out of Dalaran :(
