~ Feeding and Companion Guide ~
Squirrels: Don’t require any method, just approach and interact to feed them
Rabbits: Basically a game of chase, get close to them and they will run away. This method requires you to do this three times before you can interact with and feed them.
Sea Turtles: Once you approach the sea turtle, they will quickly hide inside their shell. If you wait a while (approx 8 secs) they will pop back out and allow you to interact and feed them.
Crocodiles: One of the toughest methods out of them all, once you get a certain distance away from the crocodile it will stand upright and look around. After it has done this, you want to wait until they drop back down to the ground. This then allows you to (sometimes, depending if the game likes you or not) move closer to the crocodile. Rinse and repeat until you are able to interact with the crocodile to feed it.
(Once you practise with timing, you can end up doing this within 2-3 movements)
Raccoon: The exact same method as the crocodile, get close and wait for them to stand upright, then wait for them to drop back down to move closer to them to feed them.
Sunbirds: The exact same method as the squirrel, just approaching them will allow you to feed them.
Foxes: The exact same method as the rabbit, another chase sequence where after the third one you should be able to interact with and feed them.
Ravens: Unknown
When it comes to making these critters your companions, you have to feed them their favourite food 2-3 times in a row. Breaking from this streak will reduce the chances of becoming a companion
These are all the companions that require certain criteria to unlock, some only available for a limited time.
Pua: The adorable companion to Moana is unlocked after completing her 4th Friendship Quest
IncrediSquirrel: The only current way to unlock this critter as a companion is by purchasing them on the Pixar Fest Star Path using the themed currency.
Choco Crocodile: This companion is unlocked by playing through the first week of early access
Celestial Sea Turtle: This critter companion is only unlocked from purchasing the Founders Pack – Deluxe Edition or Ultimate Edition
Regal Fox: Similar to the Celestial Sea Turtle, this critter companion can only be unlocked exclusively from purchasing the Founders Pack – Ultimate Edition
