The orginal Pleos are not like the new Pleo Rb, that you do not Need to have the leaf, you can put almost anything in their mouth, your finger for example and they will chomp on it and also play tug of war, ( very cute when they do that) You can make a leaf out of material and it will do just as well as the one that comes with Pleo and softer on the paint that has a tendancy to chip off of the teeth. You can post photos by after uploading it to the photo gallery, take notice of the number which will look something like this.
[smg id=....] there will be four 4 numbers after the id= and remember to enter spaces etc exactly how it looks in the photo gallery and that is all you need to do. Here is an example of one of myne, just subsitute your own number.
