Chia Shaggy Collectable

With this pet and any other like it the majority of the seeds will be on the back of the head and will slide down before sprouting if you're not careful. I dinged them a star for the troubles but I've got some pointers for everyone below that I've learned with these.When I do my pets I immediatly wrap them in plastic wrap to keep the seeds in place and check on them at least once a day to push the seeds that slid down back up. Just leave the wrap on until the sprout.Any seeds that slid where I don't want and started to sprout I carfully move to a thin patch somewhere on the pet. You have to do this early though, before the roots really come out much.I keep the extra seeds that won't go on the pet in a small bowl and lightly water them so they begin to sprout but stay in a thick goo. If you water too much they won't be usable later.When I take the wrap off the pets I smother the extra seed goo on and then watch them grow full and healthy.When I didn't use the plastic wrap and extra seeds they grew in very patchy and I had to keep pushing seeds back up every day with a butter knife or I wouldn't have had any seeds except the very top.Good luck and enjoy seeing Shaggy with a big green afro.

I bought this simply as a gag gift christmas present for my sister. She got a real kick out of it but for some reason we could never get the stuff to really sprout. They are a great gag gift but don't expect them to always work out.

We purchased this for our 11-year old for his birthday. I sat and did this project with him and it failed miserably. I watered every morning and not one sprout came up after a month. I even attempted a plant bulb for fun and NOTHING! Such a waste of $30 and such disappointment. Then about a month and a half later, Dad and I decided to use the extra seeds and try to do it again adding to the current seeds to no avail. It's now in the garbage and little guy didn't even ask about it. He knew it was a gonner. :(

The grandkids love these things. The seed it, water it, watch, watch and more watching until it is grown and then they show everyone that comes to their house what they have grown.

My grandson with autism couldn't wait to watch it grow. He has a very cute sense of humor and when he opened it, he put a green towel on Shaggy's head and said, "Now, it's perfect" and then giggled.

It shipped on time which was nice. And the design is cute. However because of the narrow design of the head its hard to get the chia to grow on top so he looks like he's balding. It also molded a bit. Other than that the seeds grew well and it pleased my boyfriend so I'm pretty happy.

Works but had to repair a crack and fast delivery.

This was my 2nd order for the SHAGGY Chia Pet and I have gotten Scooby BOTH times! I'm very frustrated, will not try a 3rd time! Very disappointing!
