First of all. I purchased the hatchibaby for my 6 year old daughters birthday, who was ecstatic to receive one finally after begging for a couple years now. We opened the package tonight and it hatched within about 10 min. (Very dissapointing as i read others who said they took 40 min) daughter had it talking and cooing for about 5 min after and then brought it to us saying the eyes wont shut off and its not responding. I thought maybe its batteries are dying. So my husband opened the battery compartment and when he pulled out the old ones the batteries where so hot, He almost threw them at me (First indicator to me of a bad product) so I changed the batteries and....It worked-for about two minutes. cooing and talking as my daughter walked away but then she came running back as guess what? The green eyes are on and again not shutting off and it doesnt repond to movement, touch, sound, Nothing! 60 bucks for this kind of kids toy? So dissapointing and i would not recommend to another parent, Ever! If anyone has an idea as to why its doing this be my guest to input. Id love to fix it for free since its now worth nothing.    -
