Hey there, pet enthusiasts! Are you curious about how to transform Dreamlight Valley animals into your loyal companions? Well, you don’t need to possess a singing voice like Snow White to win their hearts. It turns out that, just like with most people, the key to their hearts is through their bellies. We’ve spent countless hours in the valley discovering how to befriend these adorable creatures by feeding them their favorite foods. And guess what? Feeding them enough times even encourages them to become your companions! So let’s dive into the wonderful world of Dreamlight Valley and learn everything there is to know about these charming critters.
How to Feed Dreamlight Valley Animals
Each of the eight Dreamlight Valley critters can be found in their respective biomes, but only a few of them will appear each day. While you can feed these animals multiple times daily, you can only receive one reward per animal. So make sure to go the extra mile to keep your furry friends well-fed and enjoy the rewards they offer.
When you feed the animals, they have a chance to drop seeds, useful items, Dreamlight Valley Dream Shards, and even cosmetics. Feeding them also unlocks various achievements that reward you with Dreamlight.
Feeding Critters Their Favorite Food
With the destruction caused by the Forgetting, it’s no surprise that these little critters can be a bit skittish. Some of them require a more considerate approach. Below, we’ll provide you with information on how to prevent them from running away and their favorite snacks.
Squirrels
- Location: Plaza
- Variants: Black, Classic (tan), Gray, Red, and White
- Food Group: Fruit and nuts
- Favorite Food: Peanuts
Squirrels are quite easy to find as they scurry around the plaza, showing their hunger. You should be able to approach them and interact with them. If you can’t, it’s possible that you’ve already fed them for the day.
Rabbits
- Location: Peaceful Meadow
- Variants: Black, Brown, Calico, Classic, and White
- Food Group: Vegetables
- Favorite Food: Carrots
Rabbits are more playful than squirrels and will hop around before taking your food. Approach them, and they will bounce up and down before running away. Chase after them, and they will eventually stop for you to interact with them.
Sea Turtles
- Location: Dazzle Beach
- Variants: Black, Brown, Classic (green and brown), Purple, and White
- Food Group: Shellfish and Seaweed
- Favorite Food: Seaweed
The incredibly cute sea turtles are shy and won’t let you get too close right away. As you approach them, they will retreat into their shells and shake nervously. Be patient and wait quietly without moving, and they will eventually stick their heads back out, eagerly awaiting some delicious seaweed.
Raccoons
- Locations: Forest of Valor
- Variants: Black, Blue, Classic (grey), Red, and White
- Food Group: Fruit
- Favorite Food: Blueberries
Approaching raccoons can be quite tricky as they are even more elusive than sea turtles. You’ll have to tread carefully and keep your distance. Wait for the raccoon to stop and eagerly look around before slowly creeping toward it, stopping every few steps. It may take some time, but eventually, you’ll get close enough to feed it.
Crocodiles
- Location: Glade of Trust
- Variants: Blue, Classic (green), Golden, Pink, Red, and White
- Food Group: Shellfish
- Favorite Food: Lobster
Approaching crocodiles is similar to dealing with raccoons. When you spot a croc standing still in the distance, start moving toward it. Pause whenever it looks up. As you get closer and interact with it, it will endearingly lower its head, ready to enjoy its tasty treat.
Sunbirds
- Location: Sunlit Plateau
- Variants: Emerald, Golden, Orchid (purple), Red, and Turquoise
- Food Group: Flowers
- Favorite Food:
- Emerald Sunbird: Green Passion Lily
- Golden Sunbird: Sunflower
- Orchid Sunbird: Orange Houseleek
- Red Sunbird: Red Bromeliad
- Turquoise Sunbird: Pink Houseleek
These stunning birds gracefully fly around the Sunlit Plateau, but you can easily catch up to them near trees and plants. Interacting with them is fairly simple. However, each variant of Sunbird has its own favorite food, so make sure to feed them the right flower.
Foxes
- Location: Frosted Heights
- Variants: Black, Blue, Classic (brown), Red, and White
- Food Group: Fish
- Favorite Food: White Sturgeon
Similar to rabbits, foxes have a playful nature and will entice you to chase them before feeding them.
Ravens
- Location: Forgotten Lands
- Variants: Blue, Brown, Classic (black), Red, and White
- Food Group: Five-star meals
- Favorite Food:
- Large Seafood Platter
- Arendellian Pickled Herring
Ravens, the ominous-yet-beautiful birds native to the spooky Forgotten Lands, have made their way to Dreamlight Valley. Interacting with them is quite easy, but feeding them is a different story. It may seem like they’re fleeing as you approach them, but if you stand still and wait, they will circle around your head before finally landing next to you. It turns out that ravens have a refined palate and exclusively dine on delectable five-star meals like ratatouille, bouillabaisse, or even a banana split if you’re feeling sweet.
How to Get Critter Companions
To recruit Dreamlight Valley critters as your loyal companions, all you need to do is feed each variant a few times. The best part? It doesn’t even have to be their favorite food! This is especially handy for the rarer snacks listed above. Keep in mind that each variant of critter is considered unique. For example, feeding the white rabbit twice will ensure that only the white rabbit appears in your collection.
To set a critter as your buddy, head to your wardrobe and navigate to the companion section. Choose any of the unlocked critters, and they will faithfully follow you wherever you go. No need to keep feeding them! For the full list of available critters, check out the collection menu.
