Well. I don't think I've ever purposly done anything bad to a tama. But I've been a tama/vpet owner for over 15 years...back when I was still in grade school I would clip them to my jeans and whenever I'd fall off my bike etc they would get so scratched up. I even broke a screen off of my nano double from crashing into another bikerider haha. Oh to be little. Now that I'm in my twenties it's much easier to take care of them. Plus I'm a meanie, whenever kids ask to play them I say no. The only ones that are lucky enough to touch one are on a short leash because I keep mine all attached to each other and I hang on to one
That's what I did when I was younger and had to babysit haha.
Hey these are collector's items! You have to be careful so they don't get ruined. What I'd suggest is if you know you're going to be around kids that are going to ask and ask and ask just say no. It's easy, and you don't have to be mean about it. Just keep saying not right now, and then change the subject. That's worked for years for me!!! Or connect your tamas like I do by the chains so they won't go far from you and just connect them to play a game or something and let the little ones watch. They're jsut curious, that's all. You might start a new generation of vpet lovers haha I did! A little cousin of my husband wanted to play mine all the time so I bought her one of her own
