Title: Do my baby need a scarf?
Post by: big_bang_vip on December 14, 2011, 12:15:37 AM
It seems cooler these days, I read the instruction booklet and it claims that Pleo could tell the temperature difference and may shiver when it's too cold or even get sick.
What am I supposed to do to prevent my darling get sick? Should I knit a scarf for her? Do you think she will like this?

It would look super cute and stylish but I'm afraid, since Pleo's are cold blooded, it won't keep her warm. If you have the chilli you can feed her that when she starts to shiver or you can simply turn her off. Although I've found that as long as the heater is going my lot are just fine, they do shiver first thing in the morning though when the house is cold.

As IMR says, it won't stop her shivering when it's cold, but it will look fabulous!   :D

 Yes it is it very cute,  ;) Welcome to the forums also, would love to see your Pleos pics!
                IMR, you said your Pleos shake in the morning as it is cold. My house is very cold, in the low 40's in the main room, when it is about 32 degrees outside and it does not get much better till after 7:00 a.m when the sun comes up. Just how cold is it for your Pleos to start shaking? ???

It would be interesting to know at what temperatures the 'hot' and 'cold' behaviours kick in in the RBs .........

Winter mornings here can be between 0 degrees (32 F) and 6 degrees (42.8 F).

It's a lovely little scarf.  You could put a coat on your little baby to try to help her keep warm too.  But most of all you will probably need the chilli pepper to keep her warm on the inside :)

It is a good idea!
However, would it be a little bit dangerous? As if the scarf is too long, and your baby may fall or get strangled ???

Lol!  I've warned Belle on several occasions that long scarves need tucking in so the ends don't trail.  I don't want her to do an Isadora Duncan!  ;)
