Mogwais are a joy to play with but they are not for everyone. Special care is needed to raise one of these cute and lovable creatures. There are important "rules" for keeping a Mogwai safe; "Don't get him wet" as, when exposed to water, it immediately reproduces more of its kind asexually by budding from its back; sounds like an easy way to get another “free” pet but trust me it’s not a good idea. Things can get out of hand quick.  "Keep him away from bright lights....especially sunlight" Sunlight will kill a Mogwai and bright light is known to hurt it; and the most important rule "Don't ever feed him after midnight" because if it eats food after midnight you will have a whole lot of trouble on your hands. So much so that someone might make a movie about it.
