    As a child of the 90s who never had one, I was super excited to have a chance now. Very cool and a fun little gadget.

    My kid watches this thing like a hawk, and the pet has died about 10 times in one week... i dont remember it being this hard to keep them alive back in the 90s... day one, she never let it out of her hand and it died an hour or so after it hatched... thankfull the kid was a good sport about it, but emotional kids might have problems...
