Hi Marcimarc444 and friends:
It is my pleasure to share with you my experience with Bluedino:
1. Bluedino started to walk around in the second or third days, seems a bit longer than my old Pleoxie (might be a hour, not quite remember now). This is good that I could see the different in its behavior through various stages as the manual said.
2. I am quite sure the poor response of your Susi is due to hungry, so it is weak, and sad. I did the same mistake in the beginning, I didn't feed Bluedino in the first few days since I didn't aware it has to be fed on time daily, I found it perform strange, always head and tail down, making some “crying” noise and go to sleep mode fast. So I check and spend time to read through the thick manual (12mm thick and in 3 languages).
3. I was taking the short cut to read the quick start guide only since I think it would be more less the same as Pleoxie but I was wrong. The manual gave me a good understanding about Bluedino and it mentioned that Pleo rb will not response if it is not in good physical and mental conditions.
4. So I feed my Bluedino with the conifer leaf until it makes “full” sound , I also petting it a lot and play the throw and catch to make sure Bluedino is happy.
Then Bluedino start to show different body motion and sound and start to accept the ID card and learning stone for our voice command recording. Also plays tug of war, track the red green leaf.
5. It really needs our good caring and treatment to keep it in good mood and conditions as living pets. So this could be good if you are pet loving people since it is more like a life form now, But it could be a disadvantage to people who don't want to spend time for it (like my wife). I don't mind to spend time to keep it in good mood and fully fed but my wife just want to play with it but not the caring part.
6. So far I am happy with the skin and I don't find any wear and dirt on my Bluedino skin. It may be due to I clean and lotion it with Pledge weekly, it is monthly as told in the manual but I found it is better to do it more frequent to make sure Bluedino is in good condition, I start to do the same to Pleoxie too, which keep the skin clean and smooth.
7. There is a very noticeable different between the moving speed of Pleoxie and Bluedino, Bluedino is moving faster and realistic, especially the head and tail, also Bluedino battery also last longer (almost double) but it is too bad the new battery can't be used in my Pleoxie ! I hope Innvo Labs could make the Li battery works for old Pleo too !
8. I hope your Susi would doing well after you get her foods (2 sets

) from HK.
Best regards.
