Anyway, here's some tips:
-When it beeps because its hungry or unhappy, take care of it before fifteen minutes are up, or you'll have a direct neglect. I've been told four direct neglects WILL kill the Tama.
-When it's sick, give it medicine. I don't know if it'll die directly from sickness. Better safe than sorry.
-While some consider this cheating, if it goes to sleep and there's poo, set a clock before its bedtime, clean it up, then change back to bedtime.
-If all else fails, pause it a lot during the day and let it sit at night. It'll age slowly, you'll probably get a bad character due to lack of training, and it's probably considered cheating. Only do this if you can't seem to make a Tama live to be an adult.
Someone else might have better tips than these.
