I tickle mine about 2-3 times after they play or eat. I usually tickle them when they are flying or sometimes dancing. I really don't think it matters. Just don't tickle them alot (more than 4 times in a row) or they get mad/sad.
I tickle mine twice then wait to see if they ask for something. If they don't I offer either a food or toy. Then I tickle them again once or twice in between moves.
I really don't think the music note has anymore significance than any other happy face. It is just a happiness symbol. I like to think they are singing.

Good luck with your Buddy !!

Overall, yes, it is quite adorable BUTI think I would rather have newborn triplets!!! It is very demanding and yells all the time...LOL...it is costing me a fortune and it won't GO TO SLEEP!!
We cannot get it's happiness level past 59%, even when giving it all the toys it wants plus extras. Jeez...this is absolutly EXHAUSTING...LOL. Anyway very great thread and I will follow everything everyone says just to see if this gets better on our part. I'm just going to hang in there..Thank You for all the great info.
Oh, is there anyway to raise any particular color of zummies? I have lots of everything except blue for some reason??????

They are our virtual children and I guess this is a good lesson in babysitting !! LOL

Just make sure you don't tickle them alot and if they do get mad stop tickling them for a good 5-10 minutes. Then you can try again.

As far as the zummie counts go that is just how it is. Some days you will get more of one color than another. When you start buying prizes it wipes out alot of blue zummies too. I had alot of blue in the beginning but after buying like 5 prizes that is the color I am always trying to get. Some days they are stingy with one color and the next time it will be another color. In the end (after several days) it all pretty much evens out.

Good Morning,
Finally got around to claiming those zumbuddy prizes, for 1 week of an average playtime of 20mins a day this is what I ended up with......

1st account - 2 zumbuddies




and

2nd account - also 2 zumbuddies




Also both accounts have a small amount of zummies left over but not enough to get anything else. They can go toward next weeks prizes. It seems I got around 1200 zummies for the week on each account. I have no idea how much KC it cost me and I don't think I really want to know.

5 more blue zummies to go and I can get the prize that I want! Yay! My first prize......

UPDATE:

OK! Buying it now!

Do you know what kind of foods the Bratty Zum likes?

I loaded two zums last night and abandoned them about a half hour later because I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than feed them. THANKS FOR THE GUIDE!

Here is a pic of a Tree top room I'm working on . It has three of the prizes I have bought so far.

The lamp floats up and down on it's cloud. It doesn't light up.

The wheels spin horizontally on the Zummobile.

The garden statue light doesn't light up.

i finally did it after 2 weeks of trying daily, a party for my Peeking zummie. Unfortunately he only gave me 1 blue & 4 purple zummies with the party and then his health immediately fell to 74%



Then I went to my Giggly zummie and tried her. Had the party and only got 2 yellow & 3 pink zummies and then her health fell to 73%.


I decided to spend enough time with them to bring their health up by 5% increments, then stop, wait an hour or so and try that again. I got them to 99 several times but they immediately fell back to 97%. Finally on the 3rd try they both hit 100%.

They like all the foods. One buddy doesn't have a preference over any other so I usually feed mine what they ask for and what is the cheapest when I just offer in between.
The guide does have a cost listing for both toys and food so you can save some kinzcash along the way.
Good luck !!

They are really nice prizes Papergirl !!
I am disappointed that the items don't light up though. I love animated things.
Congrats !!

Congrats on the parties !!
Did you keep them in different rooms the entire time or did you move one when the other was close ??
