Product Information

Full details

This guide is for parents and children looking for an engaging bath toy or a unique electronic pet. The key benefit is the interactive, water-activated swimming feature that mimics real axolotls. A caveat is that it requires batteries and is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. Pets Alive Swimming Axolotls are robotic toys that come to life when placed in water, swimming in multiple directions. They feature hyper-realistic designs and have an automatic power-save mode.

FAQs

What type of batteries does the Swimming Axolotl use?

It requires three AG13 (1.5 V) button cell batteries.

How do I turn the axolotl on and off?

The axolotl turns on automatically when placed in water. To turn it off, simply remove it from the water and dry it with a soft cloth.

Can I use this toy in a swimming pool?

Yes, it can be used in a swimming pool, provided the water is clean and free of excessive chemicals or debris that might interfere with its operation.

How long do the batteries typically last?

Battery life depends on usage frequency and the power-save mode. The toy conserves power by entering a sleep mode after 4 minutes of inactivity in water.

Is this toy suitable for very young children?

It is recommended for children aged 3 years and older. The product has a warning for small parts, indicating a choking hazard for children under 36 months.

How many different colors are available?

The Pets Alive Swimming Axolotls are available in assorted colors, specifically mentioned as vibrant pink and cool teal.

What does the '5 different directions' mean?

It refers to the toy's ability to move and change direction autonomously while swimming, making the play more dynamic and less predictable.

Troubleshooting

Axolotl does not swim when placed in water.

Ensure batteries are correctly inserted with the right polarity. Check if the batteries are new and fully charged. Make sure the water is clean and at a suitable temperature. Dry the axolotl completely and re-test.

Axolotl swims erratically or slowly.

Clean the axolotl's body and any small fins or propellers for debris. Check battery levels, as low batteries can affect performance. Ensure it's in sufficient water depth.

Axolotl turns off shortly after activation.

This could be the power-save mode activating after 4 minutes. If it happens immediately, check battery connections or try fresh batteries. Ensure the toy is not being removed from the water too frequently, which might reset its operational timer.

Water inside the battery compartment.

Immediately remove batteries and dry the compartment thoroughly. Ensure the battery compartment cover is properly sealed before placing the toy in water. If damage is suspected, discontinue use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The toy is activated by placing it in water. It will automatically start swimming. To turn it off, simply remove it from the water and dry it with a soft cloth.

Compatibility: This toy is designed for use in water, such as bathtubs, sinks, or small pools. It is compatible with standard tap water. Avoid using the toy in saltwater or water with heavy chemical treatments. Ensure the water depth is sufficient for the axolotl to swim freely.

Care: After each use, remove the axolotl from the water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water damage and preserve the battery. Store the toy in a dry place. Periodically clean the toy's surface with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, avoiding harsh detergents. Ensure the battery compartment is dry before closing it.
