Well, Cato and Eva were both walking around while I was working on something and I noticed Cato was kind of flopping over/falling on his side. I went to look and it was as if his leg decided to never come back down after some motion. It was stuck up like it stopped during a wave hello or when they stretch out one of their front legs. There was no clicking or anything it was just as if it had stopped reacting.

My first thought was oh no, a broken leg, but I shut him off and hit the reset button and turned him back on and it went back into position and so far all seems fine. The only reason I thought of that was because of these forums, so I'm just throwing this story out there as a kudos to the site and everyone involved.

   That used to happen to me with the Ugobe pleos a lot!  Occasionally one leg would stay lifted up, or the neck would go all the way to the left and stay there, usually a power cycling sorts it!

Hope he doesn't give you any more scares It does happen from time to time.

I'm glad your blue Pleo's fine now.

I had something similar with Igor.
First when he went backwards. His neck was blocked to the right and would not move again, even if his sounds remained normal.
And also when I found him on a chair, switched on, like bugging with his head up and eyes wide open : I switched him off and then on again.
And then he was like back in the hatching mode! I was so scared!
As you did, I switched him off and on again and everything was back to normal.

I had the same fright when I first got Iggy - he got stuck with his head looking directly up.  Advice on here to switch off and start him again solved it, thankfully.  I've been here ever since!
