We got our Pleo named Ozzy just yesterday.  We noticed that his toenail is slowly peeling off in one of his feet and starting a little on the other toes. Also do both Pleo's nostril give off light beams??  Ozzy right nostril only flashes light and not the left. It's 2 days now that my sister and I are playing with him and we also noticed that he didn't stop quite a few times at end of the table and kept walking (we were prepared and caught him).  Please let us know if these are normal issues or if there's a problem with our Pleo. Thanks!!

The toenail paint will peel of, there is nothing you can do about it. It is because the toes rub against his chin and the ground so it comes off very easily. It is perfectly normal but you can help the problem by putting socks on your Pleo's feet.

Pleo's 'nostrils' are in fact infrared receivers and transmitters, this is so Pleo's can communicate with one another. That too is perfectly normal

Falling of the table is not normal but not necessarily Pleo's fault. Make sure the lighting is bright, Pleo's need a lot of light to see well. Also make sure the table top and the floor are different colours, it is hard for Pleo to distinguish between say a brown table top and a brown floor. Really the table top is not the best place for a Pleo to play and you should consider finding somewhere safer, like on the ground. If you must have him on the table try putting a cloth on it so it is easy for Pleo to tell what is table and what is floor and try increasing the amount of light in the room.

Hi Jett, you're very welcome to ask questions on this forum and we love seeing new posters, but please can you ask a question just the once on just one thread to save confusion.  Please don't take this as a rebuke, it just saves people answering the same question twice!

THANKS!! Especially about the color of table and floor!!! Our table is tan and the carpet is light brown, almost the same!
