As an avid life simulation and farming game enthusiast with over 50 hours logged so far, I‘ve dedicated much of my Disney Dreamlight Valley gameplay towards befriending every furry and feathered creature inhabiting this magical world.
Based on my extensive experience, I‘ve compiled this definitive, 2000+ word guide on locating, taming and feeding the wildlife. Whether you‘re struggling to earn a fox‘s trust or wondering where to obtain carrot seeds for the bunnies, I‘ll cover everything you need to know about befriending animals alongside your favorite Disney characters.
Let‘s dive in!
An Overview of Dreamlight Valley Wildlife
Disney Dreamlight Valley has a wonderful assortment of wildlife living throughout the biomes. Here‘s a quick overview:
Mammals: Foxes, Rabbits, Raccoons
Birds: Ducks, Chickens, Sparrows
Reptiles & Amphibians: Turtles, Lizards, Frogs
Sea Creatures: Crabs, Sea Turtles, Fish
They come in a spectacular variety of colors and coat patterns, from red foxes to white chickens. Most creatures have 5 distinct model variants that spawn randomly.
Nearly all animals can be befriended with enough effort. You simply need to learn their favorite treats and earn their trust through consistent, daily feedings.
Now let‘s dive into detailed instructions for taming each species.
Step-By-Step Animal Feeding Guides
I‘ve compiled individual step-by-step guides for befriending every animal I‘ve discovered so far in Dreamlight Valley. I‘ll continue updating as more get introduced.
For each guide, I cover:
All visual variants
Exact map locations
Favorite food items
Special tips and tricks for earning their trust based on my experience
Let‘s start with one of my personal favorites:
Foxes
Out of all wildlife, foxes were the most challenging for me to tame. But the payoff is worth it! Their fluffy tails and infectious personalities provide endless smiles.
Here‘s everything you need to know about befriending foxes:
Location: Forested Foothills
Variants:
- Red
- Arctic White
- Black
- Sky Blue
- Golden Brown
Favorite Food: White Sturgeon
Trust Tips:
- Move slowly and crouch when approaching
- Allow them to fully emerge from cover before interacting
- Offer fish only after establishing eye contact
I‘ve found the most reliable approach is to listen for rustling leaves first. Then walk slowly towards the source – this indicates a hidden fox or rabbit.
Stop a few feet away and wait patiently for them to fully reveal themselves, without making any sudden moves. Only once your eyes lock, slowly crouch down and select the “Offer Food” interaction.
This non-threatening posture and calm demeanor does wonders for earning their trust.
With the sturgeon offered, the fox will tentatively approach and grab it before scurrying a safe distance away to eat.
Rinse and repeat this process, and in no time you’ll have a loyal, adorable fox companion!
Rabbits
Few things are cuter than a fluffy tailed bunny rabbit munching on fresh carrots! Here are specifics for befriending them:
Location: Peaceful Meadow
Variants:
- White
- Black
- Brown
- Spotted
- Golden
Favorite Food: Carrot
Trust Tips:
- Walk, don’t run! They startle easily
- Crouch down before interacting
- Have carrots equipped and ready
Follow the same gradual approach outlined for foxes. Move slowly, crouch down, wait for eye contact. Only then offer the carrot, keeping movements gentle and minimal.
I like to farm carrot seeds specifically for daily rabbit feedings. Having a steady supply on hand makes the process much smoother.
Sea Turtles
For a change of pace from furry friends, here‘s how to bond with the gentle giants of the sea – sea turtles!
Location: Dazzle Beach coastline
Variants:
- Green
- Hawksbill
- Loggerhead
Favorite Food: Seaweed
Trust Tips:
- Don‘t rush the shell emerging
- Stand in shallow water and wait patiently
- Offer seaweed quickly once fully exposed
The key with sea turtles is resisting the urge to rush the trust progress. I made this mistake constantly at first.
Here is their peculiar process:
When you approach a sea turtle, it will instantly retract into its shell and begin slowly peeking each limb out one at a time. You need to stand still and give it space during this sequence.
Rushing will cause the turtle to fully retract again. If you demonstrate patience however, eventually the head and full body will emerge. Then you have a small window to tap “Offer Food” and present the seaweed.
It seems odd, I know! But follow this pace and you’ll have the sea turtles eating out of your hand with glee.
Chickens
No farm or valley is complete without a flock of chickens! Here’s the need-to-know info:
Location: Peaceful Meadow
Variants:
- Rhode Island Red
- White Leghorn
- Black Australorp
- Buff Orpington
Favorite Food: Wheat
Trust Tips:
- Check the coup east of Mickey’s Pond
- Squat down calmly before interacting
- Select seeds quickly before they wander
Chicken have a coop located just east of Mickey’s Pond where they reside. But throughout the day, various hens will wander out into the meadow grass to peck and forage.
I recommend periodically checking the immediate vicinity around their coup for wanderers. That’s when you can swoop in and try befriending them!
As always, take things slowly with crouching and eye contact first. Chickens startle easily from fast movements. Allow them to approach you first before offering the wheat seeds.
If done gently, the hen will happily eat straight from your palm! Then you‘ll have the freshest eggs in the valley each morning.
Ducks
Similar to chickens, colorful mallard ducks occupy the ponds and rivers. Here‘s how to get on their good side:
Location: Forest of Valor rivers & Peaceful Pond
Variants:
- Green Head
- Purple Head
- White
- Brown
- Corriente
Favorite Food: Blueberries
Trust Tips:
- Find lone ducks away from the groups
- Toss blueberries from several feet away at first
Ducks are very social, constantly roaming the waterways in packs. I‘ve found it nearly impossible to isolate individuals within these groups.
Instead, seek out solo ducks off on their own – particularly along the Forest of Valor stream banks.
They‘ll be much more receptive to slowly earning your trust with blueberry offerings. And soon enough, you‘ll have a feathered friend for all your swimming and sailing adventures across the valley!
