Disney Dreamlight Valley has so many warm-fuzzy critters to collect and keep as pets while progressing and unlocking more biomes. There’s a vast variety of these creatures that appear in the new areas, ranging from squirrels, sea turtles, foxes, and more.
However, the only way to tame a critter for keeps is by feeding it its favorite food. Players will quickly learn that getting certain critters is a lot easier than others, as some will run away when you get close to them. In order to fully claim a critter, players will need to feed the critter multiple times – coming back the next day to feed it again, as they can only be fed once every 24 hours. When it is finally tamed, players will get a little notification pop-up on the screen letting them know it was finally added to their collection. But it all starts with feeding them the right food. Here is everything you need to know about Critters and what food to feed them in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
