My son (9yo) is very interested by the test tube. He is surprising me by his suddent "fatherly" attitude (promptly putting the tube in the dark at bed time and in the like in the morning). He read quite a lot from the explanation.The web interraction is quite exciting, even thought it really did not function properly for us, but this kept me interested in the experiment as much as he did.
I just hope he could take it out of the tube and keep it after the experimentation. How is this going to end???

I found that this toy is not all it's advertised to be or rather it's not as exciting a toy as it appears. It is not for children under the age of about 8-9 years old. If the child is too young to care for a small pet, then they are too young for this toy. Mom or Dad (or Grandmother, in my case) will have to take care of this thing. Initially, it's very exciting!! You add the "food" and the Alien "grows" pretty quickly. I takes up to two weeks to reach full size. As soon as you add the liquid to the tube and the white foam material he's encased in begins to fizz away = my grandson was very excited. As soon as the fizzing stops the red light (heartbeat) in the head of the alien begins. He requires contant feeding in the early couple of weeks and he also requires 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. You can go the the Alien website and darken the room hold the alien in front of the flashing light on the screen to do diagnostic tests. The flashing lights allow you to diagnose the condition of your alien. The website will also tell you how many times you have left him alone in the light or darkness. BUT, once the "newness" has worn off he just sits in his tube with his light flashing. My grandson never asks about him anymore. So, I'm still taking care of our Alien. He no longer relies on his food but eats only plain tap water now.The excitement of this toy wears off very quickly. There is nothing about it to maintain a child's interest for any length of time. Still, it is a novelty and my grandson was very excited when he first got it. His interest just didn't last long. I have no idea how long this thing "lives" but it's been over a month now and he's still going strong.
