Feeding Basics:
* Animal Feed: You can purchase animal feed at the general store. This is the most basic and readily available food for all your animals.
* Forage: Gather grass and other forages around your farm. This is free and a great way to supplement your animal feed.
* Special Crops: Some crops can be used as animal feed, but they are usually more valuable to sell. Consider using surplus crops for your animals.
Feeding Schedule:
* Daily: Animals need to be fed every day. If you forget, they will become unhappy.
* Time: The best time to feed your animals is in the morning before you start your day.
* Frequency: Animals can eat several times a day, but one feeding is usually enough to keep them happy.
Specific Animals:
* Cows: Cows eat grass and animal feed.
* Sheep: Sheep eat grass and animal feed.
* Chickens: Chickens eat seeds and animal feed.
* Horses: Horses can eat grass, hay, and animal feed.
* Dogs and Cats: These pets are more independent and don't require regular feedings. They will eat scraps you leave around or food you give them directly.
Tips for Happy Animals:
* Clean Stalls: Keep your animal stalls clean to prevent them from becoming sick.
* Brush: Regularly brush your animals to keep them healthy and happy.
* Affection: Interact with your animals by petting them. This will increase their happiness.
* Special Treats: Sometimes, you can find special treats like apples or carrots that you can give to your animals. These are often rewarded with increased animal products.
Remember: Happy animals produce more milk, wool, eggs, or other products. This means more money for you! So make sure to take good care of your farm friends!
