Furbies

[santa claus]

I have 2 furbies. A tigerish adult and a pink baby. I haven't had much time to look after them properly and the tiger one has stopped talking . I put new batteries in both and the baby chats away in furbish but I just can't get a peep out of the adult. Anyone got any ideas please? What can I do? Is it electrical or emotional?

Oh, and neither have names; can anyone suggest names please?

I'm sorry, I don't know how I'm supposed to function under these conditions....

....anyone else feel up to it?

My sister had a furby. We ended up leaving it in the utility room, but the dog got so annoyed with it I think she ended up chewing it just to shut the thing up. I can't imagine it tasted good...

I would try threatening it.

As for names, how about Fur A and Fur B? Or name them after something you like. Starskey and Hutch,r Bo and Luke, Lennon and McCartney, Christina and Britney or whatever.

I suggest burning them personally. I remember my kids having some of the first ones many years ago. Annoying is an understatement.

Be kind, destroy them NOW!

The kindest thing is to take them to the nearest vet and say "They're getting hard to handle. Is there anything you can do?"

Funny you should say that -it'll put the kids off em for good.

One of my lecturers at college got so hacked off with his daughters furbie, he set it alight in a fit of pique... thing is, the fur burnt away really quickly, but the placcy chassis didn't, so it ended up looking like a squat terminator, making funny gibberish noises with no cutesy eyelids... Never had a problem again

Great suggestions (and link) so far thanks.....keep 'em coming . Bit worried about this naming plan - if I get more or the ones I've got have kids, will I end up with a little Fur K (er)?

Dammit I want one again now!!!

I was a deprived child - at 16 I was considered too old for them the 1st time they were popular....

probably Or Fur Q that name would prolly be quite appropriate considering the noises they make =)

I had a furby and the speaker went, I replaced this and then it was fine again. I've ignored mine for years, and it's never cared.
