The hex bug spider is designed to move on a variety of flat surfaces, including hardwood floors and low-pile carpets. Performance may vary depending on the thickness of the carpet. On thicker or shaggy carpets, the spider might move more slowly or have trouble navigating. For the best results, try using it on smooth surfaces or short-fiber rugs. This can help ensure smoother movement and a more enjoyable play experience.

Most hex bug spider toys require small batteries, such as button cell or AAA types, for both the spider and the remote control.

• Always check the product packaging or manual for the exact battery type and quantity needed.
• Some packages may include demo batteries, but it’s a good idea to have extras on hand for uninterrupted play.
