5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your fluorescent ball.
Issue: Ball does not glow brightly.
- Solution: Ensure the ball has been exposed to a strong light source for a sufficient period (e.g., 5-10 minutes under a bright lamp or sunlight). The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the "charge" it receives from light.
Issue: Ball shows signs of wear or damage.
- Solution: Discontinue use immediately. While made from durable foam rubber, aggressive chewing or prolonged use can cause wear. Replace the ball if it becomes torn, cracked, or if pieces are breaking off, to prevent ingestion hazards.
