Available animals in Stardew Valley
A game about bringing an old farm to its former glory wouldn't be complete without some animals to take care of. In Stardew Valley, you can obtain a wide variety of farm and ranch animals by purchasing them directly from Marnie's Ranch or by scavenging for their eggs and then hatching them in an incubator. Below you will find all the different types of animals you can have on your farm.

Slime cage animals
Although slimes aren't technically animals, you can have them on your farm if you ask Robin to build you a slime house.
These slimes are just as dangerous as the slimes you encounter while exploring the mines, but they produce slime balls that you can interact with to get slime or petrified slime.
How to feed animals
Feeding animals is very simple; all you have to do is take a piece of hay for each animal you have and place it on the feed bench in the garden or shed. You will need to repeat this process to ensure that your animals are well fed and happy every day.
However, you can do a few things to make it easier for you. For example, you can:
- Build a silo on your farm to turn grass into hay.
- Open the small door of the barn or yard to let your animals graze.
- Upgrade your farm buildings to a luxury level as it includes an automatic feeding system.
Remember that only well-fed animals will produce animal products.
How to pet animals
To keep your animals happy, feed and pet them daily. By petting animals you can increase your friendship level with them. You will want to do this because some species, such as cows or ducks, will produce better quality and large or luxury items if you have a good enough friendship with them.

- Rabbit: A more expensive option at 8,000g, rabbits provide Wool and Rabbit's Foot.
- Dinosaur: While not applicable to a price, the Dinosaur, intriguingly, lays Dinosaur Eggs.
2. Barn Animals:

4. Feeding and Petting:
- Feeding animals involves placing a piece of hay for each animal on the feeding bench inside the coop or barn.
- Strategies to make feeding easier include building a Silo to turn grass into hay, letting animals feed on grass by opening the coop or barn door, and upgrading to deluxe farm buildings for an auto-feed system.
- Only well-fed animals will produce Animal Products.
5. Friendship and Petting:
- To keep animals happy and increase friendship levels, daily feeding and petting are crucial.
- Higher friendship levels result in better-quality and larger or deluxe products from certain species like cows or ducks.
- Petting animals is achieved by right-clicking on them, and this can be done once a day.
In conclusion, this Stardew Valley animals guide covers the fundamental aspects of managing coop, barn, and Slime Hutch animals, emphasizing the importance of proper care, feeding, and interaction for a thriving and profitable farm.
