Animal



Animals are as much a part of farming as growing crops. They come in many sizes and do not wither like crops do. These creatures vary in harvest time, ranging from 1 day to 4 days, when you are able to gather their produce. They can be purchased in the Market or given as gifts. Animals are never slaughtered, rather products relating to the animal is collected (for example, milk from cows, down from ducks).

Lost Animals
Unique to FarmVille, lost animals often find their way to your farm. You have the option of either helping these poor creatures or sending them away.

If you do decide to help them then your neighbors have a unique opportunity of adopting them from your profile page, giving them a new home on their farms. Lost animals are not available any other way.
