Updated on June 13, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:With the release of Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time, there are three critters added to the long list of creatures in the game. The said critters areMonkeys,Cobras, andCapybaras. Each of them has its own schedule, favorite food, and special rewards they give players upon eating food they like. While exploring Eternity Isle, Dreamers likely encountered one of these three critters and might be confused about how to approach them and what to feed them. If players wish to have one of these creatures as a companion, then it’s essential to offer one of the available liked foods, otherwise the critter will run away.

How To Approach Critters In Disney Dreamlight Valley
To approach critters inDisney Dreamlight Valleyand gain new companions, players need to follow these steps for each creature.
Squirrel
Squirrels are friendly creatures that will interact with players first. If, by any chance, they run away, it means that they’ve been fed before on the same day.
Bunny
Bunnies are skittish creatures but are still reasonably easy to approach. They’ll run away upon seeing the players, so keep chasing them until they stop and become approachable.
Sea Turtle
The moment Saviors come close to a Sea Turtle, it will hide in its shell. Just wait until the turtle comes out to give it the food.
Raccoon
It’s a bit difficult to approach a Raccoon since it’s a very sketchy critter. The best method is to walk towards it slowly while its head is down. Take slow, steady steps and stop once the Raccoon becomes alerted. Repeat the same steps until theApproachoption is available.
Fox
Just like Bunnies, Foxes love a good chase. Follow them around and then interact once they stop.
Crocodile
Use the same method as Raccoons for the Crocodiles; slow, steady steps when the head is down and stop when they become alerted.
Sunbird
These lovely critters are very approachable, very much like the Squirrels.
Raven
Luckily, Ravens are very easy to approach as players just need to stand still, and the critter will fly in circles above them then descend slowly and wait.Pick any 5-Star recipeand present it to the birds. As players might notice, there are a variety of Ravens that exist in the Forgotten Lands. Not all types and colors can be found on the same day as each has its own schedule. Dreamers who wish to collect every color and make it a companion need to cook a decent amount of 5-Star meals and must visit the Forgotten Lands at these specific times:
Monkey
Monkeys are playful creatures by nature and catching them requires playing a longer game of tag. While Bunnies and Foxes are somewhat easy to approach, Monkeys must be followed around seven or eight times until they are approachable. Although 5-Star meals are the critter’s favorite, 4-Star meals are also acceptable.
Cobras
Similar to Raccoons and Crocodiles,Cobras will keep sticking their heads up and downand players must only approach the critter when the head is low. Other than Eggs, Cobras also like Scorpions.
Capybaras
It’s extremely easy to feed a Capybara asthe critter will approach players on its own. No game, no chase, and no tricks. If Dreamers are out of Cabbage, try Cinnamon or Bamboo.
