Optimal Play Surface

For best performance, use the toy on hard, smooth surfaces such as wood, tile, or linoleum. The toy's movement may be limited or ineffective on thick carpets or rugs.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the toy, wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the toy in water. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.

Feather Tail Replacement

The feather teaser tail is designed to be replaceable. If the feather tail becomes worn or damaged, replacement tails are available for purchase separately to ensure continued engagement and play.

Troubleshooting

• Toy does not move after pressing the button: Ensure the toy is fully charged. After pressing the power button, the toy requires a slight roll or push to initiate its erratic movement.
• Toy moves slowly or gets stuck: The toy performs best on hard, flat surfaces. It may struggle on thick carpets, rugs, or uneven terrain. Clear any obstacles in the play area.
• Feather tail is damaged: The feather tail is a consumable part designed to attract play. If it becomes too damaged, replacement tails are available for purchase separately.
• Toy makes unexpected noises or movements: If the toy exhibits unusual behavior, turn it off, inspect for damage, and ensure no foreign objects are interfering with its mechanism. If issues persist, discontinue use.
