How to feed the animals in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Feeding the animals in Disney Dreamlight Valley is not as easy as just approaching them and giving them their favorite food. For some, you’ll need to chase them around until they accept feeding. For others, they’re a little easier.

How to feed Owls

Owls are mystical creatures often found in The Library of Lore and The Bind. Each type has specific preferences and feeding schedules. To feed them, approach naturally like you would with Sunbirds.

How to feed Crocodiles

To feed a Crocodile their favorite food, you’ll need to be patient and very good at not being seen. When you see one, you will need to wait until they put their heads down. Once they do this, sneak towards them, stopping when they raise their heads again. Repeat this until you get close enough to feed them.
