If you have chickens or rabbits, beware! Foxes can pay a visit, threatening any chickens or rabbits. The other animal you can look out for are wild foxes. Once you befriend a rabbit or flock of wild birds, you’ll unlock their habitat, which you can place on your home lot, so your home becomes their home.

The birds can even help you with your gardening, if you ask them. If you put the time and effort into befriending these special animals, they’ll reward you with gifts. You can coax rabbits out of holes and befriend birds twittering and fluttering in special trees. If you go out into the countryside of Henford-on-Bagley (particularly the Bramblewood), you might find some other animals. Livestock aren’t the only animals you’ll get to meet in Cottage Living. For example, if you give a cow a Flirty Treat, it’ll produce strawberry milk, and if you give it a Rainbow Treat, it’ll produce Rainbow Milk (and its patches will turn rainbow-colored too!). Some treats have a rather special effect on your animals. You can give farm animals special treats, all of which have different effects on them, such as increasing their lifespan. You can sell the produce for profit or use it for cooking or crafting activities. You can get this produce quite frequently, without having to wait for days to pass before you can, for example, milk a cow again. Chickens provide eggs, cows give milk, and you can shear the llama’s wool. You can get produce from all the livestock. Fortunately, keeping the animals happy isn’t too taxing a job, which means you can go off and do other activities for a while. Unhappy animals won’t be so cooperative, making it harder to interact with them. You must watch that their needs don’t get low though. It’s very easy to track your animals’ needs by hovering the cursor over them. The animals must be cared for by feeding them, keeping them and their habitats clean, and socializing with them.
