what do you feed the dionsaur? Does it bite? I have 2 4 year olds and don't want the dinosaur to bite them...

Great question! No they don't bite and you don't even have to feed them! Best pet ever!

From what my sister described it was like a spongey type. I bought it for my dinosaur obsessed nephew. And he had a ball in the bath with it

I'm not sure if you're being serious is joking but I hope you know that these are toys that don't move and AREN'T alive. The shells were all broken when they arrived and I had to contact Amazon for a refund.

I use two feeders, even though each cat only gets 1/3 c of food each meal, because Dragon puts his big dumb head in front of the opening and will park there until all the food is eaten, no matter how many servings. (Or he just breaks the top off, and then eats all the food from all the compartments if he is feeling feisty)

It's not easy for them but yes, they can eat from it as long as they can jump to it. What they can't do is eat through it, as they can on many feeders made of plastic or less hard materials.If you buy it, I suggest you get a locked hook (like a spring hook at Home Depot) for the top instead of the J-hook provided. If this feeder falls (from squirrels jumping on it over and over or heavy winds, etc.) more than half a dozen times, the cheap-metal threads holding the top and bottom plates on will break--this part of the design is majorly lacking.

Depends on the child. My 2.5 year old would have no problem with this. He even plays with teeny tiny lego pieces. He doesn't chew on stuff at all. But I know kids around the same age who still try to put stuff in their mouth so like I said, it really depends on the child.

We purchased it for our 5 year old... She is dino CRAZY and loved the idea of it. But the truth is that this is something that requires a great deal of patience... and she simply didn't have that. We ended up using water to wet the block because it went faster. For an older child who understands that this is not something that will be done in an hour it could be a nice project over a couple of days. Once she had all the bones out though she was THRILLED with them and played with the bones for a long time. So while I don't have an exact age... I can say that five was perhaps too young and that it is best for a child who has patience. We purchased it for our 5 year old... She is dino CRAZY and loved the idea of it.

Hi amanda! All you do is soak them in a glass of water. It'll take overnight, but you ll see the egg begin to hatch with a dinosaur inside. Not much to it. Its exciting for the kids to see! Good luck. kim

Mine came with a tiny velociraptor bulldozer. It does switch, so I guess that is what they might be talking about. But it is not the one with lights and sounds. Just a little yellow guy. My kids do like him.

The only option I am seeing is a dinosaur mug that goes from dinosaurs to fossils when filled with hot liquid. This mug is amazing! Hope this helps.

I hope you haveN't bought these yet. They were hugely disappointing. They were very small and it appeared the ends of tails and arms had been cut off to fit into the egg. It took the eggs forever to "hatch". After 24 hours, there was a spot of the dino visible through a little hole in the egg. My grandson became impatient and we ended up cracking the eggs open to find inferior dinos inside. To answer your question specifically, they did not get noticeably larger. Sorry. :(

We have had it now for a month. I have a 2 1/2 yr old son and also a just turned 4 yr old daughter. My son isnt super into it yet, he's kind of a smaller dude. My daughter loves it. She is tall and 49 lbs to give you an idea of her size. It works awesome. We have the buffalo and since it's more sturdy than the chameleon I plan to use for a long time. My 8 yr old wanted to try it out but I had to say no.

I am very careful about what language we use around the kids and the only issue I had was Jagger saying "I hate ..." when he was talking in the dinosaur mode. Our kids are not allowed to use the word hate (they are 4 and 5.5) as we do not believe it belongs in their vocabulary. Other than that, Jagger's pretty harmless and a huge success in this house! ... We JUST NOW opened it :)

Thank you for message. No you don't need to bite the straw it's just a sucking straw. The mouth section is made of acrylic & you just suck like a normal straw. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I gave 2 chewables to Both my sons ages 9 and 13 in the morning everyday - no change in appetite - they still eat anything that doesn't walk off the plate ;) they're boys maybe girls are different ... I stopped using it after about 6 months because it didn't really do much as far as focus is concerned...

I recently discovered that yes, they do still eat it when it gets hard! Since my earlier reviews, I continue to see just a couple of roaches here and there, but they are always hobbling and about to die. I'm not worried because I did have a really heavy infestation. Just the other day, I saw two of the nasty creatures nibbling on some I had in a crack in a corner by the refrigerator, they ran up the wall hobbling and soon fell down! The poison was really hard as I had put it out more than a month ago. So yes, it still works when it gets hard. Also, you probably won't see a lot of dead bugs around because they often go into a crack or crevice in the wall to die. I see very few dead or alive at this time. Hope this helps.

Hi Michelle, I would use them in a pinch. The dry ones float which is optimal for feeding for aquatic turtles. However, I'm wondering if your animal would be better served with live mealworms as a protein source. Live action snacks would engage the predator in your dragon. Hope this helps.

It all depends on if they'll eat non-moving or dead prey. There are some vibrating food dishes made for reptiles that won't eat food that doesn't move which might entice them to eat. My bearded dragon lizard has no issues with these dried crickets, but some other bearded dragons will only eat live insects, so it can even vary within the same species.

The answer does not relate to the sex or of the child, but of the interest. Does the child like dinosaurs. If so, I would be an excellent toy.
