FEEDING
Your mousie needs regular feeding for it to stay healthy and fit. Without enough food Fred and Didi cannot play games and perform any special tricks. If they are not fed for a long time they can become very sick. You can feed your mousie by downloading food from www.fredanddidi.com as mentioned on the previous page.
If you don't have access to the Internet, you can feed your Fred & Didi manually. To do this, press the belly button 9 times. Once you hear the high "Re" scale (Manual feeding and caring mode), clap several times in succession. Mousies™ need at least 15 claps for a satisfying feed. Your mousie will beep when full.

MEDICINE
If not fed frequently enough or well enough Fred and Didi can become sick and need care and attention. They also need medicine. To give your mousie medicine you can download it from www.fredanddidi.com.
If you don't have access to a computer you can do this manually. Press the belly button 9 times to reach the manual care mode. Rub the Mousies™ Direction Sensor (Sunglasses) from left to right repeatedly. The mousie will tell you when it has had enough medicine.
If you keep rubbing the mousie but it does not respond with a success noise it means it does not need medicine. It may need food or it may be love sick, in which case it needs to date another mousie. For further information check the 'Sickness and cure' section at the back of this booklet.
GAMES
Certain games can normally only be played when Fred and Didi reach certain ages. However, if you have access to the Internet you can download any of the games when your mousie is at any age. Simply follow the method listed in the download section and select the game you want the mousie to play.

Turning Directions

Follow-Me & Dribbling
If you clap three times and hear a long signal sound, place your hand, finger, or any other moving object in front of its nose and watch it follow it around. If you place the ball in front of your mousie in this mode it will dribble the ball around. If mousie cannot sense anything to follow or play with after five seconds, it will revert back to the basic mode again.
Singing & Dancing
After finishing motions like these it's important to praise your mousie. If you clap more than 4 times your mousie will sing songs and dance.
Your mousie can sing 4 songs. Three songs are pre- programmed and you can download one more song from the Internet.
Sleeping Mode
If you leave your mousie alone for a while, it will fall asleep, blinking its nose.
When in sleep mode you can awaken your mousie by simply clapping your hands. However, if it falls into a deep sleep, you have to press its belly button to wake it up.
