FAQs
How do I keep Grumpy Bear happy?
You can keep Grumpy Bear happy by regularly feeding him, cleaning up after him, comforting him when he's upset, and playing the interactive mini-games.

The product information does not specify the battery type, but typically these devices use coin cell batteries or small AA/AAA batteries. Please check the device itself or the included manual for exact specifications.
