Disney Dreamlight Valley is not just a place to make friends and plant crops. Players can also interact with the animals lurking around the Valley. There are a handful of animals to find in the game, and players can tame them all and make them companions.Â
To do this, players will need to feed them with food. However, each animal type only eats a specific food.
For instance, rabbits only eat lettuce, and crocodiles prefer eating lobsters.
On top of their favorite food, critters/animals in Disney Dreamlight Valley are also elusive to strangers. To greet a critter correctly, players will have to approach them in the right way.
If you are not careful, animals in the Valley will run away. Some of them are quite clever as well, like raccoons and crocodiles. These creatures will immediately flee the area if you get too close too fast.
Today, we’ve decided to make a Disney Dreamlight Valley critters guide to help you tame all the animals around.
Let’s get started!
What Are Critters in Dreamlight Valley?
Critters in the game are adorable creatures that roam the world, such as birds and squirrels. Players probably noticed them by now but might not know that they can actually interact with them.
Each village or zones in Dreamlight Valley’s map has its own unique critter, and each has several variants.
Generally, different variations of critters in the valley show up depending on the day.
These variations of critters, however, are purely cosmetic and do not appear to matter for much. Unless you are trying to collect each variant.
Players can add critters to their collection in Dreamlight Valley by feeding them their favorite food. The best way to find their favorite food is by experimenting with items one at a time until you find the correct one.
Think carefully about them too. It makes sense that a squirrel in real life would love a peanut, and the same principle applies in the game.
Although the squirrels in the Plaza are cooperative, other animals in the Valley may not be so nice. The Rabbits in Peaceful Meadow, for instance, enjoy running away from players if they get too close.
Sadly, it seems that some of these little guys are stubborn to take a free meal sometimes.Â
