Worried!

Ok, today Fossil recieved his brand new t-shirt (i'll post pictures asap!) I put it on while i'm charging his battery, but now i'm getting paranoid that he's going to overheat! Will he be ok if i leave it on him and then take it off while he's asleep and his battery's charging? I only have the one battery, so he's only awake for an hour or so......

I guess that would depend on the shirt and how heavy it is, but I think many people are leaving the shirts on their Pleo all the time.

The general consensus is that it's fine to leave the shirt on. The biggest hassle some have faced is the shirt covering the battery, so that the shirt gets in the way when taking the battery out or putting it in, and finding the on/off switch. But most shirts hang loose enough and are thin enough that it doesn't really affect the heat build-up or restrict movement.

Brilliant!! :-D thanks very much!! ~runs to find a camera~

Yep, I keep Norberts clothes on all the time and he runs just fine. Now my first one did overheat with his Build A Bear shirt but I think he also had other issues going on which may have contributed. ;-)

Fossils_mum, Pleo has an inbuilt system which will calm him down if his battery gets too hot, so you shouldn't worry too much on that front.

I leave mine on all the time. I use a baby bib so it doesn't interfere with the battery. But most t-shirts are big and wont interfere

Fountain of information once again, mweed. Very well done.

Ohhh sounds so cute. We'd love to see a picture of it. :-)

depends on how much your pleo is awake... if you play with him 15-20 mins a day, the shirts are ok;-)
