Hi WAtergazer, Holes, tears and yes the everlasting paint flakes, all too common to our loved Pleos, thus one of the reasons many of us put clothes on our Pleos, not only to give them some identify, but all so to try and protect their fragile skin and help hide any cosmetic flaws.
If you look under Pleo Problems, there are several posts dealing with Pleo Holes and or Skin problems. I myself have used Superglue safely on Nova, on a small split on the neck skin where it is constantly under strain, thus the reason for not leaving her in the sleeping position.I bought a package of Superglue, the kind that has 3 small tubes in it, and make sure it says, Recommended for Rubber on it, that is the kind to use, they make all kinds of Superglue, for Porous and nonporous items. There have been lots of people with similar problems and I think if you talk to Bumblebee, she also used Superglue after asking about it, and it worked for one of her Dinos too. My Superglue only cost $1.00 as I was lucky enough to find it at the dollar store here in town. You allways should use the smallest amount and be very careful with it though and know it is At Own Risk. NOva used it but she is a Ugobe Model and it worked for her, I don't know what model Bumblebee has. Good Luck!
