How and why to tame critters in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
Some Dreamlight missions will sometimes ask you to feed a critter their favorite food. It's actually the little animals that roam around the village. Each animal depends on the biome you are in and each species has different colors and food that it particularly likes.
- Squirrel : only at the Esplanade
- Hare : only at Prarie Tranquille
- Turtle : only at the Enchanted Beach
- Crocodile : only at Bayou de la Confiance
- Raccoon : only in the Forest of Courage
- Sparrow : only at the Sunny Plateau
- Fox : only in the Frozen Heights
-
Raven : Only in the Forgotten Lands
Taming a Critter by giving it the right food will then allow you to receive a reward : a dream shard, money or even a bag that can contain a pattern, furniture or clothing. You can only feed the same Critter once per day and have a chance that by doing so, it will then be accessible as a companion in your wardrobe.
Feeding an animal does not guarantee you to have it in your Collection. You have to repeat the experiment several times.
Complete list of animals, where to find them, when and what to feed them
For the moment, there are only 8 different biomes in your Village and therefore 8 species of critters to tame. Each species contains up to 6 different colors. Note that pets exclusive to Founder's Packs or Starpath are not included in the Collection and are purely cosmetic.
Squirrels
- Where to find it? Esplanade
- Number of colors available : 5
- Favorite food : Apple and Peanut
-
Difficulty : very easy to tame
To tame a squirrel, all you have to do is approach it and interact to feed it. Very docile, he will never try to run away.
Hares
- Where to find it? Tranquil Meadow
- Number of colors available : 5
- Favorite food : Carrot or Lettuce
-
Difficulty : easy to master
The rabbit is playful and much less docile than the squirrel but it is still easy to tame it. He will escape several times when you run behind him, but don't lose hope: after a few seconds, he will stop and will gladly receive food.
sea turtles
- Where to find it? Sunny Beach
- Number of colors available : 5
- Favorite food : Seaweed
-
Difficulty : Fairly easy to master
The turtle is quite easy to tame: when you approach it, it will be afraid and will put its head in its shell. Wait a few seconds without moving so that she trusts you and pops her head out. You can then feed it.
Crocodiles
- Where to find it? Bayou of Trust
- Number of colors available : 6
- Favorite food : Lobster
- Difficulty : difficult to tame
Raccoons
- Where to find it? Forest of Courage
- Number of colors available : 5
- Favorite food : Blueberry
-
Difficulty : difficult to tame
In the same way as the crocodiles, you have to play 1,2,3 Sun with the Raccoon. Stay very far from him: as soon as you see him sit down, you can move forward. When he straightens up, stop dead. Repeat the process until you are close enough to feed it.
The Sparrows
- Where to find it? Sunny Plateau
- Number of colors available : 5
- Favorite food : the flower to give depends on the color of the bird
-
Difficulty : quite easy
Just like squirrels, the sparrow will not escape upon seeing you, it is just very fast and you will need to approach it (flying in the sky) fast enough to feed it.
The Foxes
- Where to find it? Frozen Heights
- Number of colors available : 5
- Favorite food : Sturgeon or crab
-
Difficulty : fairly difficult
Foxes are a bit like hares: they will run as soon as you approach them. Repeat the operation three times in a row until he stops in order to give him the food.
The Crows
- Where to find it? Forgotten Lands
- Number of colors available : 5
- Favorite food : to be determined
-
Difficulty : ??
No idea yet how to do it.
