Every critter will need to be approached more than once (5-8 times), some shorter than others (3 times), in order for them to be in your companion's list. You will know that they've been added once you've fed a critter and you get a new icon in the top corner of your screen. This will notify you that you have obtained a new critter and it is now part of your collection.


Personally, I have been able to collect all critters except for the black squirrel. I have actually fed it more than 50 or 100 times now (and I recorded it too). I am not sure why this is happening, but I know that other people in their discord have said before that they've had trouble getting 1 specific critter. More than likely this will be fixed later on and then everybody can have 41/41 instead of 40/41.

I will be updating this guide as I go on. The way I have gotten this information is from time skipping. That is how I know what days the raven's are going to be in the valley.

However, I am not telling you to go and do it yourself. Time skipping will break aspects of your game. You will not be able to harvest spices or things like Oregano, Mushrooms, Garlic, Mint, and etc from the ground.
If you mine something, you cannot mine the rock again until the time you skipped.
Same goes for harvesting and getting fruit.

And as I am free to play how I want, you are too. Judgement free zone.

Thank you all for viewing my guide!! I wanted to make sure I made one with images of the little critters of DLV enjoying their meals so you can see visually. I hope this helps everyone!
