Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Feed And Recruit Animals

Disney Dreamlight Valley plays host to a wide variety of critters, many of which can be fed, petted, and even recruited to accompany you on your travels. Interacting with such critters can also earn you more Dreamlight, which can be used to unlock biomes, castle realms and items in Scrooge's shop.

Once you've fed a critter you will begin the process of enabling it to be selectable as a companion, alongside Pua who comes from a quest, and several other companions from events. While companions provide no tangible benefits, they will follow you around and look adorable.

Updated November 23, 2024, by Zoë J. Osik: We've updated our guide to include tips on how to befriend the new critters in Storybook Vale, including the owls, dragons, and pegasus babies! Here's everything you need to know to catch your new companions.

How To Approach A Critter

When you see a critter, it will respond in one of four ways and how it acts will depend on when you can feed it.

Here's what to look for and how to respond.<script> window.adsNinja = window.adsNinja || {}; window.adsNinja.queue = window.adsNinja.queue || []; window.adsNinja.queue.push(function(){ window.adsNinja.queue.push(function(){ var fallbackContent = ` <video> <source src='https://video.thegamerimages.com/2024/01/ddv-feeding-companions-1704214818.mp4' type='video/mp4'> Your browser does not support the video tag. `; try{ var result = window.adsNinja.monetizeVideo('.emaki-video-player-df4e968e538dea3b', JSON.parse(`{\"name\":\"Instream-InContent\",\"groupName\":\"content\"}`), JSON.parse(`{\"trackingId\":\"in-content\",\"playlist\":[{\"title\":\"Disney Dreamlight Valley Approaching And Feeding Companions\",\"description\":\"\",\"length\":\"3:41\",\"mimeType\":\"video\/mp4\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/video.thegamerimages.com\/2024\/01\/ddv-feeding-companions-1704214818.mp4\",\"thumbnailLink\":\"https:\/\/static1.thegamerimages.com\/wordpress\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2024\/01\/avatar-approaching-rabbit-with-a-carrot-disney-dreamlight-valley.jpg?fit=crop&w=1024&h=576\",\"textTracks\":[]}]}`)); if(!result){ console.warn('Failed to load AdsNinja video player.'); document.getElementById('emaki-video-player-df4e968e538dea3b').innerHTML = fallbackContent; } } catch(error){ console.warn('Failed to load AdsNinja video player.'); document.getElementById('emaki-video-player-df4e968e538dea3b').innerHTML = fallbackContent; } }); }); </script>

Red/Green Light

Critters with this behaviour will have a 'danger' position and a 'safe' position. You need to approach them slowly when it is safe. The following critters like to play this game before they let you interact with them:

• Crocodiles. Crocodiles are safe to approach when their heads are down, but stop when they are up. Feed them once they are led down.
• Raccoons. For Raccoons, approach when they sit down, stop when they are standing. Feed them once they visibly relax.
• Cobras. Cobras are easy to scare, so wait for them to lower their heads before approaching. They will lay down when you can feed them.

Chase

These critters like you to chase them once you've spotted them. Run after them until they stop again. After you chase them enough, they'll let you approach and feed them. Make sure to bring the right snacks with you!

The following critters like to play tag with you:

• Foxes in the Frosted Heights.
• Rabbits in the Peaceful Meadow.
• Monkeys in Ancient's Landing.
• Pegasus babies in Mythopia.

Wait

These critter types will scope you out before they'll let you feed them. They'll either curl up and cower or sora above you and watch for a few seconds before opening up to you. The following critters like to do this:

• Ravens will circle your head. Allow them to finish flying around.
• Sea Turtles will stay in their shells. Sit Close by and wait for them to appear.
• Baby Dragons will curl up and wait for a few moments. Stand nearby and wait for them to open up.

No Games

Some critters have no time for games and will allow you to simply approach and feed them straight away. These are the easiest critters to befriend and ensure you have the opportunity to unlock new Disney Dreamlight Valley companions without having to play any games with them.

The following furry friends will allow you to play witht hem right away:

• Squirrels will expect food immediately so be ready with something for them in your inventory!
• All five types of Sunbird will also take food from you on sight.
• Additionally, Capybaras will walk right up to you for food.
• The Owls in the Bind will take food from you right away.

How To Feed A Critter

To feed a critter simply approach one slowly (after following the responses above) and interact with it by pressing A on Xbox or Switch, X on PlayStation, or E/Left Click on PC.

By interacting with an animal, you will have the option to feed it one of the food items in your Inventory. Every animal variant has its own favourite type of food, though you do not need to know it in order to recruit it to your Companions.

All animals can be fed any available food, but there are benefits to choosing their favourites.

If you spot a Purple Friendship Star when handing over a food item, then you can rest assured that you've discovered their favourite food. By successfully handing it over you will complete additional Dreamlight Duties, which will, in turn, net you more Dreamlight to spend around the Valley.

Each Critter's Favorite Foods

All critter types have favorite foods and liked foods. These don't change between colour variants, except in the case of Sunbirds. Here's what to look for:
