I came across this today:
http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?topic=1617.0;wap2As someone objected to a comment I made about about letting Pleo sleep for long periods, it may effect his skin, one of the comments on how to look after Pleo also says don't let Pleo sleep to long, as this will effect his skin, and can the extra stretching may cause holes in it.
I thought I had seen this comment, but could not place it.
Looking after your Pleo
Never ever store your Pleo for long periods of time (ie a few hours or more) in the sleep position. This places stress on the rubber skin and will eventually, over time, lead to tears in the skin. Always store Pleo in the packing position with neck, tail and legs all straight just like he first came in the box. To get Pleo in the packing position either switch Pleo off quickly when he moves into that position or you can force him into the position by holding down the black Pleo button underneath for ten seconds or so (not yet confirmed with Pleo RB).Pledge extra moisturizing furniture polish, which should come in a brownish spray can, can be used on Pleo RB to keep the skin in good condition and buying or making some clothing for you Pleo helps with wear and tear.
Frequently asked questions
My new Pleo RB turns on, but stands straight and makes a constant beep, beep, beep?
The clock battery, that goes in the foot, is either dead or inserted incorrectly. The battery should be inserted flat side upwards, with the two tiny metal tabs on the side of the compartment touching the top, or flat side of the battery. You may need to gently lift these tabs upwards so that they touch the top of the battery.
Above is a small section of that listed above with the Skin reference highlighted.
