Furby boom personality change

Hi - hoping someone can offer some furby advice! Dd was thrilled to get one for Christmas and adores it - that was until it woke up yesterday morning transformed from the cute girly character of the first few days into a cockney geezer that keeps burping and demanding cake!!! Now, we know their personalities change depending on how you treat them but she has sat patiently stroking the things head and talking quietly to it for ages (well in excess of the 5 mins a google search suggested would be necessary) but it's still behaving like a trucker!? Anyone know what we're doing wrong? Thanks for reading!

There is another thread with similar issues. Dh found this solution: turn it upside down, push its tongue down with your finger and pull its tail. Hope it works for you

Oooh thanks powerhoop! Off to give that a try now and will try to find the other thread too!

Update, in case anyone's interested - we stroked furby's head and talked gently to it for ages. Nothing. We fed it lots of fruit using the ap. it protested a lot but still nothing. We stood it next to a radio playing classic FM - it danced like a loon for, sang along in a silly deep voice for a bit and then all of a sudden it's eyes started flashing and then it said "me changing" and finally we had the cute furby back again. One very happy dd! Phew!

We played it classical music and pretty sure it's turned 'sweetie' rather than disco. We fed it lots of fruit and veg too!
