A 2005 Furby has a tummy sensor and a back sensor much like a 1998 Furby.

They can only communicate with another Furby if both of the Furbies stomachs are pushed in for a few seconds until they blink. The 2005 Furbies can communicate with the 2005 Furby Babies and other 2005 Furbies only. They can eat when their mouth sensor is pushed with a finger or Furby spoon.
