Title: Balancing Act
Post by: smasher on January 07, 2009, 12:44:08 PM: After trying a couple of time, Pleo Patra, was able to balance on two feet, I swear i heard a TADA noise from her then. How cute

Tickle thier front feet and they laugh too

I don't think they can balance well on skates. I bet I can't even stand on one foot while wearing ice skates. I would be afraid of my pleo falling on the ice while doing that and possible scratching up her face or something :o

I promise not to have my Pleos practicing the tada trick on the ice. Too cold!! ;) They are at the arena just for special occasions. :)

I keep trying with Dexter but the poor guy doesn't seem to be getting the hang of it. Is it just a case of touching front (right or left) and back (right or left) sensors at the same time?

You should use front right and back left. ;)

And it works well if you actually grab their whole legs.
