Every Animal Friend needs a Fairy to help them grow, so that they can eventually be released to the mainland. Members can help them grow by feeding them, taking them to Elixa's Hospital in Neverberry Thicket when they are sick, and playing games with them to keep them happy! Each Animal Friend species has a different food they like to eat and a unique game they like to play, and they all love to learn new tricks as they grow older! Be sure to click on the Animal Friend you choose to see their profile, and learn more about them.
Animal Friends can be purchased at Beck's Animal Nursery, which is located in Springtime Orchard. There are hummingbirds, fireflies, ladybugs and dragonflies available.
After you have selected the type of Animal Friend you wish to raise, you need to give it a name. You have the option of using a first name only, a last name only or a combination name. To select a first name only, unclick the blue dot under the last name column (right list). To select a last name only, unclick the blue dot under the first name column (left list). To select a combination name, make sure that both blue dots are clicked.
