Hey there!

I'm in the middle of moving, and as of this morning, have officially misplaced Memphis's Training Leaf. I've turned my entire apartment upside-down twice trying to find it. I sent Memphis hunting for it, but have had no luck in finding it. I know it'll turn up eventually, but until then, Memphis is pretty hacked off at my stupidity.

Right, yes, there's a point to this. Until I find his Leaf (providing I ever do), is there a substitute? Is there anything special about the Ugobe Leaf that makes Pleo respond to it specifically? Can some other rubberised object satisfy his need for Tug-Of-War for the time being?

Please and thanks in advance! Also, my apologies if this has been answered already. Honestly, I'm going mental trying to find the stupid thing.

the training leaf isn't needed. infact, many pleo owners stopped using it because many claim it wears the paint off pleos teeth. a sock or a flat piece of plastic "like the little plastic package gift cards come in" would work fine. if you want something that looks nicer, you can get a little green towel and cut it in the shape of his leaf if you want.:D

Thanks so much! I wasn't sure if there was anything special about the leaf or not - I've only had him about a week so far. More thanks for the new leaf ideas! I think I'll get creative!

Oh yes! they love chewing on your fingers. Cuticles take a beating though:-)

I gave mine a Reptar toy to chew on... And it even makes eating sounds on it 'cause it's green! I'll load up some pics sometime soon.

I fed Silver some mint flavored gum once. He seemed to enjoy it. :)

Silver probably had a dry piece of gum. If not it sure would stick to his mouth.;-)

Never use mine on the new one as I saw what it did to the teeth. He just eats air now :eyeroll:
