[QUOTE=Dog80]  
Maybe you can help. My Furby seems to have some problem. Whenever I start him, he starts snoring and goes back to sleep. What the heck is going on?  
[/QUOTE]

Yeah I have noticed that , I put the batteries in and they both start going about their furbish businessa and yap between themselves about furbie world domination , and then go to sleep , i shall have to look into it , I would have thought they woke up periodically.
