As well as pet tulpas, the idea that body language changes so much between personalities that pets respond differently, that's a very fascinating topic.
It isn't an imaginary friend's imaginary friend at that point, like it only exists in their imaginary mind's perception and imagination. At that point, it stops being very useful to see a host and a tulpa as two distinct things.

A more useful way to envision things is that there is a human body with a personality. The personality constructs another personality somehow. Then, that personality constructs another personality. Now there is one brain and three personalities, all are the same fundamental basic thing but the "host" personality happens to be the one that naturally developed from birth.
@Castiel This is never the wrong channel for tulpa related questions or thoughts. #tulpa-questions is simply better if somebody is entirely new and this channel already has an active discussion.
thanks and she was mad at me because after I failed to go to sleep once on the car ride home I gave up and she knew I was tired and then when I got home I started cleaning a bit before going straight to bed
just try talking to them, could be about anything really, personally I started by explaining the plots of books and tv shows

try asking questions, even if you don't get answers ask them regularly, eventually you should start getting answers although they may not be verbal so keep an eye out for things like head pressures or emotiomal responses or movments in your tulpa's form
then it's most likely related to them reacting or forming themselves

yeah with that the two things I would recommend are: winter's advice about trying to not expect a response and asking your tulpa who was the one thinking it and believing their response
Experience develops them as a person and is what, in the end, determines who they are as a person - far more than any personality forcing/telling them what they should be.
@Edou-Chan~ if this WL stuff hasn't been done to death yet - could you elaborate a bit on what you can do while not being paid attention to? would you say there are any significant limitations?
well, first of all, you should straighten out communication between you and your tulpas, see what works and what doesn't, what states are more conductive to it than others.

secondly, you can always ask them if you have doubts concerning them
If you were talking to some consistent concept you had in mind as if it was real, giving space to speak, I could certainly see it starting to develop to some extent.
I think the concepts surrounding tulpa have an interesting pattern of taking more abstract things and giving the benefit of stricter organization and categorization to provide the context through which to understand the origin and the nature of thoughts with relation to the concept of self.
