Furby raises lots of questions. Here are a few we hear most frequently.
-
All Furbys start out the same. But as you tickle, feed or play music for your Furby, its personality will change. Try treating your Furby in different ways to see what happens.
-
Sure does. You can tickle, feed, pet, shake, hug, tilt, hold your Furby upside down and pull its tail - and these actions will help shape Furby's personality.
-
No; all Furbys start out as the same personality. They develop distinct personalities based on how you play with them. Every Furby can become any personality.
-
Try treating your Furby different ways to see what happens. Feed Furby! Tickle Furby! Talk to Furby! Turn Furby upside down!

Furby's personality can always change. So if you don't like the personality of your Furby, treat it differently. What happens may surprise you!
-
The nearer you are to your Furby, the easier it is for Furby hear you. So get up close. Furby won't bite. (Well, Furby may nonnom on your finger a bit if you put it in Furby's beak. Consider your finger warned.)
-
You might be talking too fast. Talk slowly and clearly so your Furby can hear what you have to say.
-
Furby doesn't actually understand what you're saying, but it does know the difference between talking and music. So chat Furby up and play some tunes. Who knows what will happen.
-
That's just another one of Furby's secrets. But there is a way you can find out: play with Furby in as many ways as possible.
-
Some people have inner rhythm on the dance floor. Furby has inner "beat detection." So crank your favorite tunes to check out Furby's moves.
-
Furby probably can't hear the music. Pump up the volume and watch Furby bust a move.
-
Your Furby can tell when other Furbys are close and will strike up a conversation. If the right mix of Furbys are hanging out, you may even get them to sing together. Remember, Furbys are unpredictable characters, so they might not always get along.

-
Furby's Does code is in the form of a hot stamp. It is located inside the battery compartment, visible from the rear closest to the tail.
-
The noise you are hearing is how Furby communicates with the mobile device and other Furbys. Some people may hear it, others will not. Some animals may also hear the noise. Don't worry, the tone will not cause any harm to people or animals.
-
Batteries. That's how. To insert or replace the batteries in your Furby, you'll need a Phillips/crosshead screwdriver (not included). Loosen screws in battery compartment cover (screws remain attached to cover). Remove cover and insert 4 x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Push the refresh button for 2 seconds. Replace cover and tighten screws.
-
Your Furby may need fresh mojo via new batteries. Don't worry--powering up your pal with fresh batteries won't "erase" any component of your Furby's personality. Don't forget to push the refresh button for two seconds!

-
Furby's like to see each other when they're interacting Furby to Furby. Make sure they're standing face-to-face and close together.
-
Furby isn't fond of noisy places because it's hard to detect talking. If you lower the noise level, Furby can detect every awesome word you say.
-
Furbys are erratic creatures. But if your Furby is acting extra strange, it might be time to power up your pal with new batteries. Don't worry... your Furby will be the same Furby after changing batteries.
-
Your Furby will hang out for 1 minute when left unattended, and then it will fall asleep. Furby snores just before he is about to fall asleep. If you want Furby to sleep even if it's noisy, leave it alone. It will get tired and go to sleep. And once Furby's asleep, noise won't wake Furby up.
-
Grab a clean, damp cloth and wipe your Furby's fur down. But just to be safe, keep your Furby away from food, drinks and water.
-
Umm, no. Furby and water don't mix. So keep your pal away from bathtubs, pools, puddles, koi ponds, oceans and other wet, watery places.

Furby focuses best in a quiet environment. Don't talk to Furby while you are trying to get it to communicate with your mobile device and make sure there is minimal background noise or else Furby might not hear it. Make sure Furby is not talking while you are attempting to communiccate with your mobile device and try placing your Furby on a flat surface. Handling Furby makes it hard to communicate.
