Animals that do go outside normally return to their buildings by 6pm, to sleep. Closing the gates again in the evening prevents them from leaving immediately in the morning to eat grass, before you have time to pet and tend them the next day. If you close the gate before all the animals have returned, the ones left out over night are vulnerable to wild animal attacks. If they are not eaten, they become unhappy from being exposed to danger. | Animals that do go outside normally return to their buildings by 6pm, to sleep.
