Ganbare/My baby dinosaur virtual pet
So I got this pet a little while ago with my penpy virtual pet for a steal of a price :). I already had the baby bat and dog vpet version of this so figured i'd get the dino to make it complete!
He's pretty interesting. When you start him up it automatically starts the time at 12am and starts ticking, BUT in order for him to hatch you have to go back in and set the real time, otherwise it'll stay in it's hatching egg forever lol.
So...one thing about this pet is that it's VERY VERY loud! You can shut the sound off though once it's hatched from it's egg by pressing the 2nd and 3rd button at the same time.
When you start it up and set the time a dinosaur comes by and drops a egg and then it goes through the hatching phase, once hatched it turns into this funky shaped dino that moves but not around the screen just in one spot.
The Icons and functions:
The first icon is the status one, you can check it's stats, discipline, happiness and hunger (that's the order they go in) Pretty self explanatory
The next icon is food, you can feed it a meal on the right or a treat on the left...I find it odd the treat is listed first haha. (not sure yet if those change at all yet but will find out eventually!)
The next icon is the game which was confusing for me. I had to actually look it up on the virtualpetfarm site to see how the game works. But it's a guessing game. "Playing games with the baby dinosaur is important so he does not get bored. The object of the game is to guess the number of faces displayed will be odd or even. Press Key 1 for odd, and Key 2 for even. If your guess is correct, the baby dinosaur will not be happy and a crying face will show on the display. If your guess is incorrect, the baby dinosaur will be happy because he has won the game. In this case, a laughing face will show on the display. The dinosaur is happiest when you let him win!

The next icon after the game one is a heart icon which is different from most vpets. This icon is for giving your pet love by petting it I think! You can do this to raise happiness, but if you do it too much he will yell at you!
Onto the next icon which is the education/teaching icon. This is your discipline icon. If you do this it will make him happy, but like the love icon, if you do too much it'll yell at you!
Then we move onto the bottom row of icons.
The first is the cleaning icon, when he poops it doesn't show on the main screen, it's sort of a guessing game it seems. I will always try that first when the alert icon comes on. You select the icon and then select again to clean, much like other options where you have to "double select"
Next icon we have is the clothing one. You have to put his pajamas on before bed and when he wakes up you have to take them off! Kind of a cute thing!
After that one we have the medicine icon for when he gets sick, I tried to catch a screenshot of that animation because it was kind of cute, but couldn't get it quick enough.
And lastly is the put to bed icon. Pretty self explanatory. Just a note...this one seems to have a very very weird sleep schedule...I've checked the clock multiple times to make sure that I set the time right...but it sleeps from like 1 or 2am till super late in teh day :x
So far it's a fun pet, again another rather easy not too demanding pet, but not boring. It's unique and different from most vpets i've owned or have. The only complaint I have is the darn sound! Lol but that is easily remedied by turning it off.
Hi- I would like to contact you directly about this particular pet- I am looking to purchase it and was hoping you could point me in the right direction or are willing to sell yours. Thanks so much!
