All animal locations and favorite foods in Heartopia

In Heartopia, there are wild animals found around the island who you can befriend, as long as you feed them. Each animal has its own trough to be filled with its favorite food, but finding the troughs at first can be somewhat annoying, as they’re pretty spaced out. If you want to win over the hearts of the animals (and get some free loot for doing so), you’ll want to make sure to feed them every day.

Below we explain what animals do in Heartopia, where to find the animal troughs, and what the animal’s favorite foods are.

What do animals do in Heartopia?

There are eight animals scattered around the map in Heartopia with each congregating around their respective trough (more on that below). If you feed the animals every day, you’ll increase your bond with them, which you can check via the “Animal” menu. As you level up your bond, the animals will leave you gifts more frequently, you’ll unlock more interactions with them, and they may even visit your home. (Though yes, the alpaca will spit in your home. Gross.)

Upgrading your bond with each animal will also unlock special decorations, like little figurines and puzzles. You can also earn Wishing Stars from ranking up your relationship with the animals, so there’s no harm in filling up those troughs every day.

Where to find animal troughs in Heartopia

The troughs are spread out, but you can make a lap around the island on your vehicle to hit them all fairly quickly. The animals are in the following locations:

• Panda: Southern Forest
• Capybara: Western Onsen Mountain
• Bunny: Western Suburbs
• Fox: Central Flower Field
• Sea Otter: Central Fishing Village
• Ferret: North-western housing area

Once you find the animal trough for the first time, you can track its location via the “Animal” menu screen.
