Wild Animals

After you spend 10 Sun Stones to raise Animal Island, come back a few days later to unlock the red Harvest Sprite, Cherry. This sprite will sit on the tree stump and wait for you to talk to him.

The rabbits appear

The animals that live on this island can become your friends and work for you when you ask Cherry to hire them. There are six different wild animal teams, and they each are assigned to do a specific task. The animals will work on the day that you hire them, and then you can talk to Cherry the next day to get the products they located:

  • Badgers will collect weeds and wild herbs like Red Herb, White Herb, and the rare Twin Herb.
  • Ducks like to collect water-based items like fish, empty cans, and rare items like Pirate Treasure.
  • Monkeys help you expand your farm by collecting materials for building. They even find Gold Lumber.
  • Mice will go into the mine and collect ores and gems.
  • Rabbits are the only animals that can find the Firefly Flower that Will likes. They also find other flowers like Moondrop and Pinkcat.
  • Sparrows fly out and search for wild grown items; Blueberry, Chestnut, Bamboo Shoots, and Sea Urchins.

The animal teams will only work for one day. You can't hire them and then wait a few days before collecting the items from Cherry in hopes that you will get more items. You will only receive one day's worth of items no matter how many days you wait before talking to Cherry.

Befriending The Animals

Before you can hire an animal team, you have to raise its friendship to 3 hearts (201 FP). The friendship points for the wild animals are the same as the animals that live on your farm; 1 FP is 1 heart, 101 FP is 2 hearts, and so on. Cherry will activate the "Thanks from Wild Animals" event to let you know that you can now hire an animal team to work for you.

To increase your friendship with the wild animals, you have to feed them. On Animal Island you will find a feeding bin. Put food in the bin to call a wild animal team out from hiding. Some foods are more effective at raising FP, and there are some foods that affect multiple teams at the same time. You can place food in the feeding bin once a day.

The animals that are enticed by your food will appear one at a time. Any team that is out of the woods can be hired for the day, but you can only hire one of them at a time. For example, if you put a Strawberry in the feeding bin, you will bring the Monkeys and Sparrows out of hiding. You can then talk to Cherry to hire either the Monkeys or the Sparrows (if they have more than 3 hearts of course), but not both.

You can also earn 1 Friendship Point by picking up a member of the team, but only if they have 3 or more hearts. If you chase down a wild animal and pick it up before then, you will lose 1 FP! Just picking up one of the animals will be enough, and you do not have to run around and pick up every wild animal that appears. You can also lose -30 FP if you hit a wild animal with one of your tools.

The Team Leaders

The monkey team leader

After you have raised a team's hearts up to 6 or higher and you have befriended all 20 team members, you might have a chance of seeing the team leader when you lure the animals out of the forest. The better the food offering you make, the more likely you'll get the leader's attention.

When you hire a team to work when their leader is with them, the chances of you getting rare items increase significantly. There's no "maybe I'll get a Firefly Flower" when you hire the rabbits with their team leader; it is guaranteed you'll get the flower you're looking for, and possibly multiple Firefly Flowers.

The team leaders are very distinct in color. The Monkey, Mouse, and Duck leaders are all white in color. The Sparrow leader is red, the Rabbit leader is brown, and the Badger leader is black.

Showing Villagers The Wild Animals

The monkey team leader

When you have wild animals working for you, they will appear on various islands. The Monkeys, Badgers, and Sparrows can be spotted on Verdure Island, Sprout Island, and Mystic Islands. The Rabbits will only be on Sprout Island and Mystic Islands.

When the Monkeys, Badgers, Sparrows, and Rabbits are working, you can pick them up and show them to villagers who are outside. Villagers like certain animals and showing them their favorites will increase your friendship points by +100 per day. Showing them an animal they don't like will decrease the FP by -100. You can also do this little trick with your pet cat, dog, or pig.

When the Ducks are working, they are swimming in water. You won't be able to pick up a Duck and show it to anyone. The Mice only work in the mine on Volcano Island and there's no one else there once you start to go down the floors. The higher your friendship with the Mice is though, the more likely you'll find them working deeper in the mine.

The nice thing about showing your pets instead of the wild animals is that they can be taken inside of buildings. The Pig can only be shown to people who appear on Mushroom Island. If your child is full grown (walking) and you are married to Shea, he/she will appear on Mushroom Island on sunny days between 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
