How to Use FurReal Fuzzalots Color Change Toy

Quick answer

Feed your FurReal Fuzzalots when it glows red, and comfort it when it glows blue. Use the included bottle to respond to its mood and hear happy sounds.

How to play with FurReal Fuzzalots

1. Insert batteries and turn on: Open the battery compartment (located on the pet's underside) and insert fresh batteries as indicated. Slide the power switch to the ON position. A common mistake is leaving the switch off, which prevents any color or sound response. Test the toy by pressing its back; if no sound or light, check battery polarity and switch position.
2. Observe the color glow: Watch your FurReal Fuzzalots pet. A red glow means it is hungry or thirsty. A blue glow means it is sad, scared, or cranky. No glow means it is content. Many children try to feed a blue-glowing pet, but that won't change the mood—comforting is needed first. Always check the color before acting: red = feed, blue = comfort.
3. Feed when it glows red: Take the included bottle and hold it near the pet's mouth. It will make happy sounds and the glow may change or fade. If the pet stays red, it may need more feeding. A common mistake is overfeeding—once the glow turns off, the pet is satisfied. Stop feeding when the red glow disappears to avoid confusing the toy's response.
4. Comfort when it glows blue: Gently pet or cuddle the FurReal Fuzzalots. It may make soft sad sounds at first, then happier ones as it calms down. The blue glow will fade once it feels safe. Do not shake or tap the toy roughly, as that can make the blue mood last longer. Soft, gentle strokes work best—rough handling can keep the pet in a blue mood.
5. Repeat and explore different moods: After feeding or comforting, the pet may cycle through moods again. You can also press its back or nose to trigger new reactions. Let your child experiment with different actions to see how the pet responds. Over time, the pet may seem to develop a personality. There is no wrong way to play, but ignoring the color cues will make the pet stay unhappy longer.
