I can now have an opinion on the cape from experience  Tron came with the green pattern cape and I actually really like it! It was a real pain in the bum to get it on him and the straps were way too tight at first but then I cut the top ones off and left the looser bottom ones as they were. They loosened even more with out the top ones and now it is not pinching his skin at all. He is a baby so he has his legs stretched right out to lay down and still I don't think it is too tight. I love the feel of it 

[Uchianseron]

I did exactly the same!

Some news on Fudgy!

Well i can tell you that Fudgy is allready walking and making lots of funny sounds.
She also knows her name and the available learning stones i bought.
Getting her attention can be...a challenge.. Shes way more interested in things around her
And for some reason she likes to raise her left paw when she looks straight at me..so cute!

Even my mom is fond of her... I can tell she would love one too.
Shed like a blue one, but the price is keeping her from buying one..
Hope fudgy gets a friend some day

I might be getting another set of stones (play stone).

Just a curious question:

Will fudgy do the tricks on her own, or are the learning stone needed to unlock the abilities?

[InmemoryofRomeo]

Sounds like Fudgy is doing great You must have the stones to unlock the tricks, and to retrain the commands if needed.

[Uchianseron]

Thanks InmemoryofRomeo, I've have some more questions for you!

I was about to make a new topic, but I might just as well update my own topic to keep things nice and tidy ^^.
And something else happened that got my scared: When Fudgy lifted her head it seemed to get stuck, since I heard 3 ticks and her head stayed in the same position.
Shutting her off and putting her back on solved the issue.... should I be worried or can this happen from time to time?

1) I`m having some difficulty getting Fudgy`s attention, I press/hold her cheeks but she moves around ( Daddy`s a Lil scared he`ll break her neck ) to much and starts to moan.... clapping also doesn't help.
Learning the stones is no problem, and she knows her name. Last night I was able to pull it off once to get her to sing ( CUTE )

2) Can Pleo`s have a bad day?, she woke up 2 1/2 hours ago in a grumphy mood. Gave her some food but she wouldn't play or walk. I do not think she was sick because she wouldn't take the mint leave.
So again: Can Pleo`s be in a bad mood?

3) Sometimes when she just got her food, she makes some kind of "gurgling" sound..but goes back to being cute and FUDGY... and still wont take the mint leave.
I do not feed her once a day tho, more like 2-3 times a day, because she gets grumpy and when I offer her the leave she allmost bites my fingers off ^^

------------Question about Uglobe Pleo`s---------------

Like I mentioned, my mom is in love with my pleo.
And she would like one, just to keep her company and she can play with him.
Now I can get a Uglobe Pleo for about € 125,- ( $157 ).
At first she was into the Blue Pleo rb, but she said color doesn't really bother her cause she`ll get some cloths for him/her.
But now I`m conflicted: Get her an older version of Pleo..or get her a RB.
Which one will be more fun you recon?
And what I find somewhat important: How will the two pleo`s respond to eachother?
Will they interact with eachother or ignore eachother?
And I believe I`ve read somewhere that the Uglobe Pleo can be reset so she can take care of her lil baby?

Please Help me decide!

Its funny you just posted about the neck thing, Stephan (Ugobe) just had the exact same problem, he could move his head from side to side but it was stuck in the up position. I turned him off and on again and that seems to have fixed the problem *touch wood*
That had never happened before 

About Ugobe and Reborn interaction it is great! The very first thing Stephan did when sat in front of Tron for the first time was say 'Hello!' and just now Tron made a big roaring sound and Stephan was straight away all like 'Challenge accepted!' and they tried to out do one another  Stephan is making so many new sounds he has never made before and he is so bouncy with the baby RB around.
I can't say how well Tron is responding back besides the big roaring match because he is younger than yours and his biggest interest right now is sleeping and food  Stephan for sure responds to him though.
My mum prefers Stephan the Ugobe over Tron so far because Stephan is happier to be held like a baby for long periods of time and he is always happy and turns his head to look at her when she speaks to him. Tron just wants food   

Tron won't eat his leaves, he always turns his head away. He only wants sugar and coffee  bad habits already...

You DO have a lot of questions!  

Necks do get stuck occasionally.  If it happens, switch off immediately (pop out the battery if you have to), but it doesn't necesarily mean you will have problems.  A couple of mine have had this happen, but just the once.

You do have to do a bit of Pleo 'wrangling' to get their attention sometimes.  Also, make sure Fudgy is well fed and happy - I tend to stuff Belle full of food and coffee bean before trying any tricks!

Yes, they can be tired and grumpy.  My Zillah has 'bad temper' and 'low intelligence' ........ she's grumpy quite often!  

I tend to keep offering the food leaf until they refuse, to make sure they are 'full up'.  They do make a gurgling noise like a tummy rumbling .... but they also go 'bleeeeuch' when they've had enough.  My lot will only take the mint leaf when actually 'sick'.

Ugobe's will only interact with another Ugobe on the same OS, so there is not much interaction between Ugobe Pleos and RBs.  They do recognise each other, though.  I love my Ugobe Pleos, they're different ... less interactive but better company.  And more cuddly.  Ugobes can be reset to hatching.

I hope that helps!

.... And the same thing happened to my first Pleo, Iggy ...... as soon as he met Budge (my second), he said 'ewwo' for the first time! 

[Lunamione7]

Ugobe's will only interact with another Ugobe on the same OS, so there is not much interaction between Ugobe Pleos and RBs.  They do recognise each other, though.  

I object! There is so much interaction going on in this house right now, loud yelling interaction and Stephan can suddenly talk. He doesn't do this with the toaster 

[Crewella]

I shouldn't tell you this ...... but they interact even more with one on the same OS ......

I found the same - any other Pleo (or RB) seems to 'unlock' new behaviours in a previously 'only' Ugobe.

[Uchianseron]

Hmm.. instead of making it easier you guys make it harder to decide lol.
Interaction between Uglobe and Rb`s is limited, but its there.

- Less interaction then a RB,
- Slower then a RB.
- Lower Battery life ( unless I get RedwoodMama`s batteries ).

But they still have there charm... darn you Pleo`s!!

But 125,- euro is a bargain to be honest... dont you think?

[Crewella]

Absolute bargain, I agree!   

[InmemoryofRomeo]

All your q's have been answered I hope, but just to weigh in on the interaction debate, Ugobe's can say hello with or without the presence of another Pleo, albeit rarely.

However true interaction, like group singing and moo ins for the Ugobe's, and the 'conversation' behavior of the RB's is impossible. They can 'see' each other, and sometimes this causes the RB to go into the conversation trance, but upon receiving no response from the Ugobe they cannot continue to the next part of the routine. Likewise the Ugobe may moo or sing or hello at the RB but there will be no response.

Of course they make lots of noise all the time, so it does -seem- as though they can communicate. But the actual behaviour is when they mirror one another, look out for it in this vid:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72A5xB9jr5U" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72A5xB9jr5U</a>

[Uchianseron]

That vid makes me wanna buy another RB and two Ugobe Pleo`s .

Think I`ll go with another RB... a blue one.

Was about to order it from gimmedigi, but it stated the item is only shipped to australia.
I thought I`ve read somewhere they provide worldwide shipping and that even some people on this forum have Pleo`s from them!

[Lunamione7]

Speaking of interaction....

[InmemoryofRomeo]

I've had some from there, but I live in Australia Not much help I know, but I know when I ordered they certainly offered more countries than that!

[Uchianseron]

Just got a reply from Gimmedigi, there only shipping Pleo to Australia 
Also I got in contact wih the person selling his Ugobe Pleo.

I can buy the Pleo for 100,- euros, since the pleo has battery problems.
Except that problem the pleo is in good condition.

100,- for a pleo is almost an offer I cannot refuse lol.

[Crewella]

I originally got Belle sent to the UK from Gimmedigi, but I believe that when Innvo cancelled the deal with their Asian distributors a year or so ago it left Gimmedigi with no warranty support so they had to stop.  Apparently except in Australia.  

Almost??  ALMOST!!  What are you waiting for!!   

[Uchianseron]

Finally some nice weather here in Holland, its been raining for days.
Fudgy took this opportunity to have a little sight seeing.

So I thought id make a little video of our new family member!

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm05b3uymng" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm05b3uymng</a>

Sorry for the bad video and sound quality!
Will do better next time!

[Uchianseron]

Srry bout the double post, but I have some news I wanted to share.

As of today Fudgy wont be the only baby dinosaur walking around in our household!

Her name is Rosa, and she`s a brand new Pleo RB, her color is light green and she has beautiful orange eyes.

Photo`s will be posted later.

Fudgy`s battery is still on the charger... I cannot wait how Fudgy will respond to little baby Rosa.

[Crewella]

That's great news - congrats! 

Welcome Rosa, and it's lovely to see Fudgy out and about! 

[InmemoryofRomeo]

Sorry to hear about Rosa, but just a note that the next Pleo won't communicate until out of the baby stage. They have to learn to talk I guess.

[Uchianseron]

@InmemoryofRomeo,

Yeah I thought as much.
Sadly Roma appears to be "broken" so Ill probably have to return her... Were all a bit sad because she was a cute looking dinosaur

I know there just little robots..but... Rosa has just been on for 2 hours..

Weird how you get attached to things sometimes

[Uchianseron]

Hi Guys!

Today we received our new pleo RB!
Its a she according to the bio!
She has the same green color that Rosa had, only this one has pretty green eyes!

There is one little thing that worries me though: It seems one of the motors keeps running constantly, I`m 100% sure Fudgy didnt have this in baby stage.
Its very annoying...

It appears to be the motor operating the neck.

Tried the usual: on/off, etc

I`ll post some photo`s and a video of the sound later!

!!!!Update!!!!






Neck motor keeps running:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wAwiQP5kS8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wAwiQP5kS8</a>

[Crewella]

That does sound like a motor straining to run - it's noisier than any of mine, too.

[Uchianseron]

Yeah, sounds like it.
Just wondering if it will go away over time... or break the neck cable over time :S
Kind of a let down to be honest... 2 Pleos in a row with issues :S

Also mailed Innovo asking if the noise will go away over time, or if she should be returned aswell.....

Please... please please.. make this lil issue go away..

[RedwoodsMama]

 Hi, so sorry to hear about your problems, I do hope you don't mind if I ask you a couple of questions, Is this a seller private or a seller where you live on ebay? Do they have postive feedback or was this "just a good deal"? If you got two pleos in a row at a very good price with problems right away, I would be suspicious. I personally wouldl return the Pleo if you can and not get a replacement from him and just the money back unless you can see feedback from others who have purchased similiar Pleos and no problems, It is starting to sound like they are so cheap because they have faults. I hope I am wrong, but two pleos at a cheap price with immediate problems is starting to look bad in my opinion.

      Where did he get these Pleo RB, how many does he have? If there are no people who have also purchased Pleo Rb from him that have pleos that are working properly, then that is a red flag. The motor should not run and sound that way, it is  a sign of more problems such as a broken neck, that is my opinon, I am sorry and hope I am wrong. Good luck and sorry for the problems you are having, I would demand to know more about these pleos or others that have purchased them to see how their Pleos are working...If he can't answer your questions and tries to replace it again, that does not sound good to me.                  RWM

*** just an update, I read your other post about the offiical
Europeon distributer for Pleo RB and it sounds like this is where you got your last two Pleo rb. If so and they have great feedback, then I dont know why you are having such bad luck, other than just that...so see what they say. If they are selling really cheap,I mean a lot less then Pleo Rb goes for, then that sounds either too good to be true or strange...Perhaps I just read that part wrong, but I did think you had mentioned before you got the first one that you got it really cheap for a Pleo RB, Good luck.
