Yes, check every hour or if you want check it every half an hour ect. If you did happen to Pause {Which, I'm sure you know, you press A and B at the same time. You can also turn the sound off by pressing A and C at the same time} for a day, which I hope you won't, it won't count as a day. I mean, your Tama grows older with age, so say your Tama was 3 and you Paused it for a whole day then the next day it will still be 3.
