Valentino is a 3.5 year old Seal Point Ragdoll cat (with blaze) who loves to play games, and today was his lucky day as I had just purchased a toy robo turtle for him to play with. I dropped the toy into my sink and for the next 30 minutes Valentino had lots of fun watching the turtle while it swam around quite realistically. The little toy is battery operated and once in the water it swims around randomly - sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and sometimes turning around.

Rob Turtle is the latest addition to the line up by Zuru.
This review covers all the components that you get inside the Robo Turtle Playset box.
* Play-set Exclusive Green Turtle. (With 2 x LR44 batteries installed)
* Turtle Bowl. Diameter = 1.3ft / 40cm
* Rock Formation with openings. Adorned with Green flock.
* 2 x LR44 Spare Batteries.

I am very impressed with how the turtle swims. I think this brings a new level of realism to small swimming robotic creatures.

As this play-set stands it has fairly limited play options, however simply by adding some additional turtles / robo fish / robotic toys - this quickly becomes more fun.
The pool is a great starting point - but it is actually awkward to fill and empty. Add to that the risk of spillage and I doubt I will use this 'pool' very often. Perfectly good as a 'starter' pool, but a hard and stronger plastic container will be worth the investment.
