The Better you Treat Them the Longer They Live

Your Questions about Test Tube Aliens, answered.

Where can I buy a Test Tube Alien?

Most toy departments in the UK now have them, gadget shops or I have selected some choice providers.

How do I hatch a Test Tube Alien?

What is sloog

The Aliens home planet, Naratuko, has habitable sloog swamp, much like the continent on earth, so their natural living environment deems they may be raised in a sloog environment which contains their food & nutrients and protects them from drying out.

You should receive some dried sloog when you adopt your alien, which you rehydrate according to the instructions and feed it to your Alien in its inital growth phase.

What do the light signals on my Alien mean?

Your Alien communicates with you via the light signal from its brain.

  • RED - in normal heartbeat mode - means he (it) is fine and dandy
  • RED - Rapid heartbeat - means your Alien is in a state of panic, this usually indicates that it has had either too much dark or too much light, move it from it's present situation and it should calm down in 10-20 minutes
  • GREEN - flasing - means your alien is drowning, it has too much liquid in it. However sometimes just moving it (it likes to sit still!) makes the sensor wet so you should leave it for a few munutes to see if it calms down, if it doesn't carefully drain some of the liquid from the tube. The sloog level should be approximately half way up the atenna of your alien
  • ORANGE - flashing - means your alien is hungry! - feed it or else.
  • ORANGE - a longer burst, is the color it gives a longer flash of just before it's about to communicate an encoded signal to you. You can decrypt this signal at the testtubealiens.com portal

How do I check my Aliens Health?

Visit the Alien Communication portal, here you can register your alien, print off a registration certificate, and use the Research Lab for communicating vital facts

You need to hold your alien to the screen (carefully it doesn't work if the Alien is in panic mode) click the "Check Age" or "Check Health" button hold it still until the timer has counted down to zero and the portal closes. Then your alien should flash orange followed by a sequence of lights which finish with Orange again. You should enter the given sequence of lights by clicking on the green boxes to change them to red

Check your Alien health

Your alien will repeat this sequence so you can check it before hitting submit to get your report

Who can care for my Alien when I need to go away for a few days?

If you can't get a willing or trustworthy Alien sitter, you can place your Alien in a comatose state, see Portal in question above. This will effectively put your Alien into hibernation, you should then put it in a dark place and when ready to resume your parental duties move it back out into the light again!
