How to Feed Critters

When approaching critters in Dreamlight Valley, you'll have the opportunity to feed them snacks in exchange for Dream Shards (when feeding them their favorite food) and the ability to unlock companions, which are essentially the closest thing to owning your own pet that will follow you as you explore the different locations and realms that the game has to offer.

It is important to keep in mind that critters can only be fed once every day.

As you might expect, not every critter is eager for human contact, so to feed every animal, you'll need to plan your approaches strategically, especially since only two variants of each critter will spawn in each location every day. Each critter needs to be approached differently, with how to approach them detailed below.

In addition, every critter in Dreamlight Valley also has their own favorite food that they prefer. When feeding animals these items -- which are found within their respective biomes -- you'll not only complete Foraging Tasks that'll earn you Dreamlight, but you'll also receive additional rewards in the form of Dream Shards.

How to Feed Squirrels Their Favorite Food

Location: Plaza
Favorite Food: Peanuts

Found roaming the Plaza, Squirrels are among some of the friendliest critters you'll encounter in Dreamlight Valley. Easily approachable, Squirrels will not run away from you when approached unless they have already been fed within the last 24 hours.

How to Feed Rabbits Their Favorite Food

Location: Peaceful Meadow
Favorite Food: Carrots

Rabbits are much more skittish and will continually flee from you when initially approached. However, don't let their antics deter you; and instead, chase them down. As the saying goes, the third time's the charm, as on the third attempt, they'll finally settle down and allow you to interact with them.

If you're looking to complete the "Feed Rabbits Their Favorite Food" task, you'll want to feed them Carrots. Carrots can be purchased from Goofy's stall in Peaceful Meadow or simply grown from seeds you'll receive from removing Night Thorns throughout the Plaza.

How to Feed Sea Turtles Their Favorite Food

Location: Dazzle Beach
Favorite Food: Seaweed

Often found swimming along the water's edge at Dazzle Beach, Sea Turtles are especially shy critters that will hide inside their shells when approached. However, when receding into their shell, wait a few moments, and they'll soon emerge, allowing you the opportunity to feed them.

A Sea Turtle's favorite food is Seaweed, which can be found along the shores of Dazzle Beach or beside any water source.

How to Feed Foxes Their Favorite Food

Location: Frosted Heights
Favorite Food: White Sturgeon

Like Rabbits, Foxes will initially run away from you when first approached. As a result, you'll need to chase these cheeky critters a few times until they eventually stop and allow you to approach them.

Foxes prefer fish as one of their ideal snacks, with the White Sturgeon Fish being their favorite. White Sturgeon can often be fished from the orange/gold fishing spots that appear in Frosted Heights.

How to Feed Raccoons Their Favorite Food

Location: Forest of Valor
Favorite Food: Blueberries

Raccoons are skittish critters that will flee from you when approached too quickly. To approach Raccoons correctly, you'll want to only move toward them when they are looking down. They'll quickly scurry away if you move while they are alerted, which is indicated by having their head in the air. Approaching Raccoons isn't easy, so don't be deterred if it takes several attempts before you're successful.

Blueberries are Raccoon's favorite food and can be found on bushes within the Forest of Valor or along Dazzle Beach.

You'll first need to clear the main bridge of tree stumps to reach the Raccoons that roam that Forest of Valor. This can only be done after receiving the Shovel Blade upgrade, which is obtained during the Welcoming Anna Quest that is unlocked via the Frozen Realm.

How to Feed Crocodiles Their Favorite Food

Location: Glade of Trust
Favorite Food: Lobster

Much like Raccoons, Crocodiles are timid critters that will flee should you approach them too quickly. The key to approaching Crocodiles is to only move towards them when they are looking down. They'll quickly scurry away if you move while they are alerted with their head in the air.

Lobster is the favorite food of Crocodiles, which can be caught when fishing from golden fishing spots in the Glade of Trust.

How to Feed Sunbirds Their Favorite Food

Location: Sunlit Plateau
Favorite Food: Houseleek Flower

Despite their quick speed, Sunbirds are surprisingly friendly critters, so if they haven't already approached you first, chase after them, and they'll eventually stop, allowing you to approach them.

When feeding Sunbirds, be sure to gather some Houseleek Flowers from Sunlit Plateau, as they happen to be their favorite food.

How to Feed Ravens Their Favorite Food

Location: Forgotten Lands
Favorite Food: TBD

How to Get Critter Companions

Obtaining a companion is fairly straightforward, as all you need to do is feed the same critter variant - any food will do - twice.

Unfortunately, it's important to note that critters can only be fed once every 24 hours, so obtaining a companion may take several days, as critter variants appearing in each location will differ daily.

After feeding a particular critter variant twice, they'll become unlocked via your Collection log. Once unlocked, visit the Wardrobe menu and select Companion. Here, you'll find all the critters available to follow you around.

Check out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

The youngest of King Triton's daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father's crown – in jeopardy. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.
