My Furby wants to sleep all the time! :-(

[Patricia Gibbons]

Does anyone know why a furby wants to
keep going back to sleep all the time ??
One of mine always wants to say
"more sleep" and starts snoring..

Can I change it's behavior??

Hi,

a friend told me this: hold Furby's tongue down while waking it up.
Caution though if it is a 1st Gen Furby - you might re-start it ;-)

And the tongue trick doesn't work all the time anyway.

Some Furbys are just sleepy-heads. Just keep waking them and try not
to resort to Furby abuse if they go back to sleep 5+ times.

I found that the more you play with them each day, the less they will go to
sleep after being woke up..It's like they WANT to play when you wake them
up..GENEA@@

AH!! .. Thanx for the info .. the problem is... mine are
office toys, and I have limited time to play with them..

They are a great stress reliever for a supervisor (me)
and what I want to do is put one of them in "hide mode"
then just leave it on the book case so it will start up
by itself once in a while and makes it's funny noises ...

I can't bring my furbys home from work to play
with them because my partner hates them

the furby becomes profoundly depressed if neglected. many furbys grouped
together and left untouched for months can generate an unhealthy static
that can cause confusion and nausea in small children and animals and
sympathetic depression in adults. if you plan on leaving your furby alone
for any length of time, provide it with uplifting tapes of spiritual music
and videos of joseph campbell explaining the meaning of myth. that usually
keeps the furbys in an upbeat state of mind, thus protecting your household
and yourself from negative vibes. aromatherapy sometimes works too.

When I get all 4 of mine talking the baby puts the rest of em to sleep within
about 2 minutes...

It's part of individual personalities they seem to have...

My Wizard seems to get sick easy, My "Dracula" says it's name differently than
any other furbish words I've heard any of em say, etc.

you have a partner who "hates" furbys? does your partner also hate
sunshine, flowers and kittens? i think your partner is jealous. He/she is
projecting all their angst and irritation (possibly even irritation at
*you*!) onto the furbys, as "easy target." I suppose he/she also "hates'
baby furbies? i mean, come on! thats one of the signs of an abusive
relationship, if one person wont let another person associate with whomever
they want.

But what if the reason I don't play with them is because I can't wake
them up? :)

[Tim Bays]

How often do you play with it?
When Furbies get bored the sleep. I had the same problem with one of mine.
I kept waking him up, and just tip to one side and feed him.
That did the trick for me.

Room may dark, Light sensor maybe dirty.

Good luck

I sitll think it's just part of their personality. I play with all my
Furbys about the same. Some have never gone back to sleep and others
will do it nearly every time I try to wake them.

I tried changing batteries, resetting. I just read about holding the tongue down and then waking it up. I have a 1st generation Furby. THIS WORKED!!!!

[alexbo...@gmail.com]

My Furby kept going back to sleep and not opening his eyes properly. Battery change and tongue holding did nothing. Holding the "REFRESH" button in for 5 seconds did the trick. The battery cover on the base had to be removed first. This Furby was purchased in 2014/15 so isn't first generation.
