Unlocking these areas requires progressing through the main storyline and spending Dreamlight. Once unlocked, these lush environments provide the perfect habitat for the capybaras to thrive.
Each capybara boasts a unique personality and is a joy to interact with. Approaching them gently and offering their preferred food will quickly win them over.
Capybara Colors
The capybaras of Dreamlight Valley aren’t all identical; they come in a delightful array of colors, each associated with specific locations. Knowing which color you’re after will help you narrow down your search.
You may find brown capybaras near the river banks, the white capybaras relaxing near the waterfalls, the grey capybaras can be found in the dense jungle. Be sure to explore thoroughly to discover them all.
Capybara Schedule
It’s worth noting that the availability of certain capybara colors may vary depending on the time of day. Some players have reported that the rarest colors are more likely to appear during specific times. However, the spawn times for the capybaras are completely random.
The Foods Capybaras Love
So, what’s the secret ingredient to a capybara’s heart? The answer is surprisingly simple.
Cabbage is Key
Cabbage is the undisputed favorite food of the capybaras in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Offering them this humble vegetable is the quickest and most reliable way to win their affection. Cabbage is the preferred snack to bring when going around looking for the capybaras.
Where to Obtain Cabbage
Fortunately, acquiring cabbage is relatively straightforward. You have two primary options.
Goofy’s Stall: Goofy’s Stall in the Peaceful Meadow is your one-stop shop for seeds and produce. To unlock cabbage seeds, you’ll need to upgrade Goofy’s Stall. Invest Star Coins to upgrade his stall and unlock access to a wider variety of seeds.
Growing Cabbage: Once you have cabbage seeds, head to your garden and plant them. Cabbage takes a short amount of time to grow, so you won’t have to wait long before harvesting. Be sure to water your crops regularly to maximize your yield.
How to Feed the Capybaras
Now that you know what they eat, let’s walk through the process of feeding these friendly rodents.
Finding the Capybaras: Venture into the Rainforest or Wild Tangle and keep your eyes peeled. They often roam near water sources, so check riverbanks, ponds, and waterfalls.
Preparing the Food: Ensure you have cabbage in your inventory. You can carry multiple pieces of cabbage to feed multiple capybaras on your adventure.
Approaching and Interacting: Slowly approach the capybara. If you run too quickly, it may become startled and run away. Press the interact button when prompted to initiate the feeding sequence.
Feeding Process: Select the cabbage from your inventory. The capybara will happily accept your offering, often with an adorable animation.
Troubleshooting: If a capybara runs away, don’t worry! Simply try approaching it again after a short delay. If it refuses to eat, it may already be full, or you may need to try again later.
