TALKING Nano Baby, Kitty and Puppy instructions
The object is to take care of your Talking Nano just like you would a real pet or baby. If you take good care of your Talking Nano, it will grow up to be happy. If you neglect your Talking Nano, your nano will grow up to be very unhappy. It takes approximately 10 days to play with your Talking Nano. Good Luck!
TALKING NANO GROWTH CHART:
Days 1 - 3 =Infant
Days 4 - 7 =Toddler
Days 8 - 10 =Pre-Teen
Remember one day of our time is one whole year to your Talking Nano. Every day you take good care of your Talking Nano, it gets a year older. After three days (or three years for your Talking Nano), you'll hear a happy birthday song - that means your Talking Nano has just become a Toddler. After seven days, you'll hear the birthday song again, and your Talking Nano becomes a Pre-Teen.
What you're Talking Nano says depends upon what it needs and how old it is.
