Feeding Tips

Daily Feeding Routine

Feed animals once per day for maximum efficiency. Morning feeding gives you products to collect in the afternoon. Feeding favorites consistently improves product quality over time.

How Friendship Affects Products

Higher friendship levels with your animals unlock better rewards:

  • 1-2 Hearts: Basic quality products
  • 3-4 Hearts: Good quality products (+10% value)
  • 5-6 Hearts: Excellent quality products (+25% value)
  • 7-8 Hearts: Premium quality products (+50% value)
  • 9-10 Hearts: Star quality products (+100% value)

Stockpile Favorites

Grow extra crops of each animal's favorite food. Corn, Wheat, and Carrots are the most versatile since multiple animals enjoy them. Plan your farm layout to have a steady supply.

Getting Food Sources

  • Corn: Grow from seeds (Summer crop), buy from General Store
  • Fresh Grass: Forage in meadows, or grow grass patches
  • Wheat: Grow from seeds (All seasons), common crop
  • Carrots: Grow from seeds (Spring/Fall), buy from store
  • Root Vegetables: Includes turnips, potatoes, radishes
  • Rice: Grow in rice paddies (Summer), requires water

Animal Care Beyond Feeding

While feeding favorites is important, here are other ways to keep your animals happy:

  • Petting: Pet each animal daily for bonus friendship
  • Clean Shelter: Keep barns and coops clean for happier animals
  • Outdoor Time: Let animals roam outside when weather is nice
  • Heater/Cooler: Maintain comfortable temperature in shelters
  • No Overcrowding: Don't exceed shelter capacity limits

Rainy Days

Keep animals indoors during rain and storms. They won't lose friendship but won't gain outdoor happiness bonuses either. Perfect time for feeding and petting!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don't feed my animals?

Animals won't die but will lose friendship hearts and produce lower quality products. Unfed animals appear sad and may stop producing temporarily.

Can I feed any food to any animal?

Yes, most foods work for all animals and give +1 heart. However, feeding their favorite food doubles the friendship gain and improves product quality.

How many times per day should I feed animals?

Once per day is sufficient. Feeding more than once doesn't give extra benefits - save your crops!

Do baby animals have different favorite foods?

Baby animals eat the same foods as adults but in smaller portions. Their favorites are the same as their adult counterparts.

What's the fastest way to max friendship?

Feed favorites daily, pet animals every day, keep them in clean shelters, and let them enjoy outdoor time. Combine all methods for fastest results.
