Must keep wheegies and fuzzles in a warm, dry place, or they sulk and explode.
Grungles, arps and eeks are less temperature tolerant, but worzles don't like excessive vibration and exude a toxic smell if you bump them...............
koggles like to feel needed...........if you stroke them, they change colour...........

how about 'discombobulated' ?
