Yea... I didn't know that babies and toddlers poop differently. I thought my toddler tamagotchi was constipated... I usally just check to see if the hearts are full or whenever it beep I see what's up which it.How often you need to take care of your tamagotchi will depend upon your tamagotchis age. Babies need to be checked a lot more often than adults and different adults need different amounts of attention. You will learn mostly by a process of trial and error. If you have a baby however, I would not go leaving it for any more than five to ten minutes without checking on it!
