Removed duplicate mention of grass; grass now doesn't disappear in winter
A cutscene will trigger where [[Marnie]] will be waiting outside the farm's door with a dog or cat on the first sunny Wednesday or Friday morning in [[Spring]] after earning {{Price|1000}}. The [[Farmhouse]] must be exited between 6am and 9:30am to trigger this event. By the 20th of Spring the event will trigger, regardless of if the player made enough money. Adopting the pet is optional. Any name can be chosen for the pet the moment it is adopted, though its name cannot be changed after adopting it. If the player has not yet met Marnie before this cutscene, the meeting will count as an introduction.

Newly hatched, born, or purchased animals do not need to be fed on the day they arrive on the farm, but baby animals thereafter need to eat one "portion" (the same as adults) each day. If they don't have food, they do not grow on that day.

Farm animals prefer fresh grass over hay, and become "very happy today!" (the best [[#Mood|mood]]) upon eating fresh grass. They will not go out in [[winter]], or when it is rainy, stormy, or snowy. Animals that remain inside or do not find grass to eat will eat hay instead, if it is available. Given that growing animal food is nearly impossible in Winter (all Grass and Wheat on the Farm disappears on [[Winter]] 1), it is advisable to prepare by harvesting as much Hay as possible in Fall.

Slimes in a [[Slime Hutch]] need no food, but their troughs can be filled daily with water from the watering can or automatically with a sprinkler. If watered, they will produce [[Slime Ball]]s the next day.

Many animals can be seen throughout the game, but cannot be interacted with, such as rabbits, squirrels, frogs, crows, woodpeckers, sparrows, butterflies, possums, etc. Squirrels may occasionally cause [[Hazelnut]]s or other tree seeds to fall to the ground, and rabbits can knock berries from bushes during [[Salmonberry]] or [[Blackberry]] season. Some "other" animals are described below.
