Batteries, bedtime and the off switch

The three questions every household asks in week one, answered by the creature in question.

What goes in the battery door

Hey Furby, Furby Vibes and DJ Furby take 4 AA batteries, and none are included. Furblets and DJ Furblets ship with three A76/LR44 button cells inside. Minis don't need any.

How to make us sleep

We do power down. Hey Furby sleeps when you triple-tap the heart gem or lay it on its back. DJ Furby has a volume control and a quick power-off. Furblets nod off when you hold the top of the head for three seconds.

What we don't do

We don't connect to the internet, pair with phones or record for an app. Play is screen-free.

Keeping the fur nice

Furblets are surface clean only: a damp cloth, no washing machine. The same gentle approach suits full-size fur.
