Intro
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life simulator game that keeps the players hooked at every turn with plenty of adventure and exciting quests. One gets to be a part of a magical world comprising Disney characters and a lot of magic!
One can perform different tasks in this game and explore the world of Dreamlight Valley. You can run around rampant in the valley, unlock new areas on the map, socialize with different characters, decorate your house, run around in the wilderness, and much more!
You can keep the other characters occupied by talking to them and giving them your time. But you might feel like there should be some creature that should do the same for you. Disney Dreamlight Valley has introduced little animals into the game that stay by your side once you recruit them for that purpose.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Critters
There is a chance that you might get lonely in the Valley and find yourself looking for critter companions to accompany you everywhere. This is the reason why players can have their own furry little companions in the form of adorable little animals!
The Disney Dreamlight Valley animals are often referred to as critters and are present in the collection menu. Various types of critters can be seen roaming around when exploring the map—these range from furry little rabbits and squirrels to adorable foxes and turtles.
There are a few odd little choices, too, such as crocodiles and raccoons, so if you are a fan of them, you will be friends in no time! Recruiting these animals is a slow but fairly easy process since all it requires is to feed the same animal twice, and voila, you got yourself a companion who stays by your side.
However, the animals will need to be fed specific food items found in the same biome as the animal. To recruit these critters, you do not have to use their favorite food, because every food from the group they like is ok which is convenient.
Each animal has different variants, and each variant is unique in Disney Dreamlight Valley. So, if you own a brown rabbit and want a white one, too, you will have to follow the steps all over again to make them your companion.
A critter can only be fed once every twenty-four hours, which is why recruiting them is a slow process. To recruit them, go to the biome they can be found in; for example, turtles can be found on Dazzle Beach.
This article will give you a detailed guide on how to feed and recruit Disney Dreamlight Valley animals. Feeding animals is fairly simple but the proper way to approach them is tricky, so we will talk about how to do that too. So, let’s get started!

- Food: Vegetables
- Favorite Food: Carrots (Sold at Goofy’s stall in the Peaceful Meadow)
- Variants: Brown Rabbit, Classic Rabbit, Multicolored Rabbit, Black Rabbit, and White Rabbit
- Approach: Since rabbits are skittish and agile, they will jump up and down in front of you upon first meeting and then quickly hop away. You should go after them until they stop, then you can approach and feed them.
Ravens
- Where To Find: Look for the Ravens in the Forgotten Land.
- Food: Their food is not yet known as they are not been added to the game yet.
- Favorite Food: Similarly, their favorite food is also unknown.

- Favorite Food: Seaweed (It can be fished in every region except the Plaza)
- Variants: Brown Sea Turtle, Classic Sea Turtle, White Sea Turtle, Purple Sea Turtle, and Black Sea Turtle.
- Approach: As you come closer to the baby turtles, they will retreat into their shell in fear at the start. Once they do that, all you have to do is wait a bit and don’t move at all. After a few seconds, they will feel safe around you and show their head, then you can feed them.
Foxes
- Where To Find: Foxes can be found in Icy Heights.
- Food: Fish
- Favorite Food: White Sturgeon (It can be caught at watering holes in the Freezing Heights)
