There are three main models in the FurReal farm line: the newborn lamb, piglet and baby duckling, all priced between $12 and $35. These are recommended for children ages 4 and up.
Each of the FurReal newborns has similar, mechanical functional attributes. They make animal noises, tilt their head, move their legs, wiggle their tails and all feed from a bottle (included). Each model comes with an adoption certificate and requires three AAA batteries, that are not included. All the models weigh about one pound.
The FurReal piglet is covered with light pink fur, has green eyes and a curly tail. It makes pig like snorting, squealing and oinking noises and scrunches up his small pig snout.
The FurReal lamb is covered with soft and fluffy white fur, has pink ears, blue eyes and light brown hooves. He makes very cute baaing noises when you play and interact with him. And, he only weighs a mere 12 ounces.
The FurReal Baby Duckling comes in two colors, yellow or white. Like a real duckling this toy, flaps its wings, opens its beak and makes chirping noises.
