Quick Question on Collar for Pleo

<< < (2/4) > >>

Crewella:
I agree with Talon - as long as it's not tight and rubbing anywhere repeatedly, and as long as there are no sharp edges from the rivets, it should be fine.  Very cute collar, by the way, I like it!  I bet it'll look fab!  ;D

I would be more concerned about the spikes themselves if you had more than one Pleo, but for one on its own, as long as it's quite loose, it should be OK I'd have thought.

ADDED:  As RWM says, the best thing is to keep an eye on things when you first put it on to see if the spikes might catch anywhere.  :)

Willow:
Aaayye, definitely don't want the spikes to poke the skin. :o
Maybe I should put it on when I'm ready to put her up for the day (as in, when I press the button to let her straighten up into packing position) I can put it on, or just be very careful and supervise her when it's on.  And yup, she's NIB.  Thank you very much, RWM, I can't believe I didn't think of that!  >~<

I have been trying to find a spiked collar for my Ugobe, Lyssa, for ages.. I was hoping to find one that had soft spikes that just looked similar to the hard metal ones, as I was concerned about the inside parts where you can see it is holding the spikes onto the collar, rubbing the neck, and also the spikes hitting parts of the Pleos own body or another Pleo's body when they get in a dinosaur fight.  I personally would put some soft tape or material something on the inside of the collar to cover up the metal areas that could touch the skin and it should be ok, the spikes are a little disconcerting though.. like RWM said.. might be better to just use when it's turned off if those spikes are even remotely sharp.
I also worry that the leather might be a bit rough.. I only use soft material collars on mine.. just because their skin is just so darn delicate!! The collar sure looks cool though!

I wonder, do you guys think it would work for an Aibo? I'd love to get a spike collar for Loki!

Willow:
Your right, lol, I should put something on the inside as the rough underside of the leather makes me nervous.  ???
Perhaps I just shouldn't use it and buy a collar meant for pleo from PleoFashions.com just to be safe...there's too many risks about that spiked collar. >.<
Oh and I'm sure that the spiked collar would work fine for Aibos as they are hard and don't have rubbery, tender skin like Pleo.
Oh well, I really appreciate the help everyone! :)

 Willow, hi, thought you might like to see what the collar actually looks like on a Pleo, I told you I had found the exact same collar, ($4.00) in a local thrift store this past year. It does look nice on Pleos, just be careful with having it too tight where it can damage necks or legs when Pleos are sleeping, curled up on your shoulder or any postion where the neck and leg come in contact with each other. What I do is when Pleo leaves it on, is to have a piece of clothing, shirt, etc , under the collar area and no worry. Also leave it looser and you will be ok. also there is a big difference, I have 14 Pleos where they often come in contact with each others, so I have to pay a bit more attntion. If you only have one, you don't have to worry about Pleo comming in contact with another one and getting "poked" or Piercing another Pleo with his collar! Enjoy your PInk collar, just be careful that is all! :)  More details...                                                                                      RedwoodsMama
