**As of the latest update, you can now pet your following companions. Just have them following behind and press E to interact with them to watch the adorable animations**


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: The exact same method as the Sea Turtle, once you approach they will circle around you in the sky and if you wait (approx 8 secs) they will fly back down where you can then feed them.

After a lot of trial and error, the process of making a critter your companion seems to be a completely random chance after feeding them their liked and favourite food instead of hidden mechanics like friendship meters or feeding them in x amount of times in a row.. While feeding them their favourite food might give a higher chance of them becoming your companion than feeding them their liked foods, there is no way to measure the effectiveness of each type.

E.g. it took me a total of 8 tries feeding a Red Squirrel it's favourite item to become a companion but for all the other squirrels it only took 2-4 attempts while feeding liked/favourite items. So the only trick is ... to just keep feeding them.

Sunday is the best day for gifting critters items to become companions as you have access to all the regular critters and two special critters throughout the day, check the above schedules for more details on times.
