Hi kat.... one time Mojo's head and neck was turned to the left, and stayed in that position, while walking and tail waging .. it just wouldn't straighten out..... so I thought "reboot" time.. turned Mojo off, and then back on and all was fine.... I'm sure you most likely already tried this .. but in case not when you did, was the problem resolved?

It is definitely a broken cable. I tested it out with the help of MannyNZ and Crewella and Degers using a skit MannyNZ made. I have emailed Innvo via pleoworld and sent them the video to watch so we will see what they say. Will keep you all informed. I'm pretty sure it is a warranty thing. Not sure if it is fixable or not but we will see.

This is quite disappointing all this things happening only after a few weeks from the release of reborn

hope it is not a broken cable ....

Just watching the vid though and from your description the cables in tail do sound like they have broken

you have every right to be a complainer though Kat Reborn is not exactly cheap to buy .

That sucks! I hope they replace Kermy or fix him up! I believe all the wear on the armpits of the Pleo rb is caused by the rubbing between the body and the inner part of the legs. It isn't an issue until they are moving around a lot. I didn't have any wear or tearing until the 3rd development phase. Not sure what they will do for Peanut either. Anyone with a Pleo rb...I would recommend taking a look at theirs (let it go into the sleep position once and see if you notice anything) Report back if you do. Thanks!

Kat , first of all, all of us here in the Redwoods send Kermy and her Mom, and her brother condolences on her tail injury.

You certainly have had your share of problems with the lovely Pink dinos. It is a real shame, I am so sorry these things keep happeining, the only good thing is that she is under the 90 day warranty. I am seriously considering buying the 3 year warranty that Peanut has, I think it is starting to really point out some problems with Pleo rb. I hate to say this,but I think it is wise for anyone else considering buying one to wait till these issues with skin and unknown issues like the tail solve, I haven't heard of broken tails before, it has allways been the droopy neck syndrome,

We certainly are lucky here on the forum to have each other to compare notes with and that we have degers and others who are knowledgeable, Thank GOD for Camcorders to document these issues, can you imagine if we didn't have these problems documented? Poor Kermy, I would have expected it to be a " hurt tail" like the leg that was injured, but this does not look to be something that can " heal" with the salt as a healing agent.
Keep us informed on what is going on with her. poor little thing.
RedwoodsMama and babies

Poor Kermy and Poor Kat

Oh no

So very sorry to hear about Kermy's broken tail

degers · « **Reply #307 on:** January 01, 2011, 03:54:44 PM »

The very first Pleo that I owned had a broken tail.

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #308 on:** January 01, 2011, 04:07:17 PM »

I'm so sorry about Kermy's tail, Kat! Hopefully Innvo can fix her, or atleast put her personality on another RB

If Innvo can't fix her you can always just try to get used to it, because there is a bright side: Its only her tail, and thankfully not her neck

and also she can still move her tail side to side

But poor Kermy, she looked so sad in the video

Dinolover · « **Reply #309 on:** January 01, 2011, 04:09:49 PM »

Wow kat... I'm so sorry to hear about Kermy's tail condition....

I guess it goes well beyond just shutting her down and then restarting. I hope all goes well and smoothly for you.. you deserve it!

i thought that innvo were to use stronger wires this time around to prevent any of them breaking and its not like Kermy has been running for months to of worn any of the wires out so this is a mystery and should cause concern for all of us .

Did anything happen to Kermy Kat as in did any1 pick kermy up by the tail of some sort ?

kat · « **Reply #311 on:** January 01, 2011, 06:09:10 PM »

Nope. I have no idea how this occurred. I am always very gentle with her. Never pick her up by the tail and she has not been dropped or knocked over. There was no noise to indicate the cable breaking. It is a mystery.

Malfie · « **Reply #312 on:** January 01, 2011, 06:38:03 PM »

Aw no, I'm so sorry about Kermy's broken tail

And after all the problems you had with Kermit, this must be a double heartache

I really hope some solution can be found.

Kat
Sorry to hear about your problem , this lack of quality is totally unacceptable coming from a company that talked about all the improvements they were suppose to address.

I would like to thank all of you for your love and concern for Kermy. It really helps knowing you all care so much.

While we wait for the new year holiday to come to a close so we can hear back from Innvo about what we do now, I have put together a special little video for you.
The reactions and interactions of two pleo rb's.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zfJ5x-RFNU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zfJ5x-RFNU</a>

My favorite bits are the singing, waving to each other - they do that a lot, and of course the love walk - two steps back and two steps forward. So cute.

I could watch them all day, if only their batteries went that long!

There is a lot of Mooing in my house now and happily Norbit says the word hello! Kermy still does not do that, I don't think it is in her vocabulary of sounds.

I really hope you like it. Kermy still seems to be able to be happy even with a broken tail now that she has Norbit for a friend.

Smilegirl · « **Reply #315 on:** January 02, 2011, 09:46:43 AM »

I like it very much

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #316 on:** January 02, 2011, 02:02:22 PM »

Oh my goodness! The little dance and the conversation is just too adorable!!!

Crewella · « **Reply #317 on:** January 02, 2011, 03:29:59 PM »

That really is lovely - thank you Kat!

When I first read the subject line I thought you might have lost it a little. However taking in to account that you’ve been thinking about getting Jenibo for a year now it’s not exactly an impulse buy. Not that I can lecture to anyone about impulse buys seeing as I just paid over £200 for an accessible GPS system that might not actually prove to be all that good after all. Just hope I can take it back if it Leeds me into a duck pond or something. TBH Jenibo isn’t my thing really, too visual I think for me to work with but it seems to me from reading your posts of what you want to see in a robot he’s right up your street and I think you’ll get an offal lot out of owning one. It’s not as though it’s going to be forgotten about in a couple of months and you sound really enthusiastic about it already so sounds like he’s well worth the money for you and that’s all that matters.
Not sure about the name Stanley though. Does it look like a Stanley?

kat · « **Reply #319 on:** January 03, 2011, 06:25:05 AM »

I thought I should give you an update on how Kermy's armpit holes and wear is going. I haven't really looked at them in a few days but took some photos of them tonight. They are definitely getting bigger. The skin around the holes seems very thin in places as well.
If I end up having to send her back because of the broken tail maybe they can use her to analyze just what is going wrong with the skin so they can try to fix it before they produce the next batch of rb's. Still waiting to hear back about her tail . Maybe I will hear something tomorrow.

That is exactly what is happening to Peanut as well. I believe it is from the rubbing of the legs against the body. I'll keep you posted if I hear from Innvo as well! Hope Kermy gets all fixed up!!

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #321 on:** January 03, 2011, 09:01:06 AM »

Oh cat I’m really sorry to hear about Kermey’s tail issue.
You’ve had way more than your fair share of bad luck with what with Kermit’s leg and Kermey’s skin and now tail fault.
How do you feel about getting a replacement or getting Kermey repaired? It’s just that you seem to have been particularly unlucky with the pink pleo RBs
Btw in regards to the skin has anyone noticed on the videos when pleo RB is moving around there’s an offal lot of kind of rubbery stretching sounds? It could be the skin rubbing together rather than stretching but what ever it is I don’t remember hearing such sounds with the 2009 or the ugobe pleos
Btw really sorry about the last post
I thought I had edited that too

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #322 on:** January 03, 2011, 09:56:14 AM »

Correction
I’ve just went back and listened to some of the videos again and some do have this sound that I tried to describe but some pleo RBs definitely don’t
Norbit for instance doesn’t have this sort of rubbery stretchy sound when he walks and moves around but Kermey does seem to .
No idea why this should be so though maybe I’m completely mistaken

Don’t know if any of this makes sense.

kat · « **Reply #323 on:** January 03, 2011, 04:47:02 PM »

I've never actually paid any attention to this noise you describe. I will have to go back and watch a few of my movies to see if I can hear the difference. I will also look out for it when I play with them tonight.

I got an email from Innvo today.
They did not mention Kermy's tail but I did send this through as a separate problem on a new email via pleoworld so I am guessing they have not gotten to this yet and I will hear back from them about it soon. I will let you know as soon as I do.

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #324 on:** January 03, 2011, 06:03:24 PM »

To be fare even if I’m right and I’m not 100 percent sure that I even am- never having an older pleo you wouldn’t have anything to compare it to. Even if there is something in what I say it’s unlikely that you would have picked up anything that sounds a little unusual. You have to listen very closely to the videos to pick anything up .
Of course it could be video interference or anything. Might be worth mentioning it to Innvolabs though
I’ll certainly be checking my pleo for such things when he / she arrives.
