Disney Dreamlight Valley Feed small animals & unlock as companions (favorite food) - Game Guide

 In Disney Dreamlight Valley you can feed animals and unlock them as companions. However, you have to follow a few rules and also know your favorite food. In this guide, we will show you how to recruit small animals and what food they like best.

So you can feed animals

In the game, two variations of an animal species spawn per biome every day. This includes squirrels, rabbits, birds, and many other small animals. You can feed these animals every 24 hours. Approach them and then press the button that appears.

You can then choose an item to feed and if the animal likes it, you will get rewards in the form of various items. There are also various achievements for feeding the animals in the Dreamlight menu.

Unlock small animals as companions

To unlock one of the animals as a companion, you must have successfully fed it 2 food items that it likes. There are 41 small animals in total, which you can also view in the Collection menu. Here you can see each species in which biome it occurs and whether it is currently active (schedule).

Unlocked companions are listed in the menu. To "equip" the animals, all you have to do is open your wardrobe and select the appropriate small animal from the companion menu. From now on, it always runs at your side through the game world. Of course, you can also deselect companions in the same way.

Favorite food for all animals
