If you're anything like me, the animals in Fae Farm have done wonders for your mental health. Cottontails and Chickoos have my heart, but bigger animals like Mamoos and Woolyhorns are a bit harder to feed than their smaller friends. In this guide, we'll share how to get fodder.
Fodder is the only thing these bigger animals eat, and it's harder to get than simple plant fibres. Animals in Fae Farm can't starve to death, but it's still worth feeding them to increase their happiness; especially if you plan on breeding some animals of a different colour.

How to get fodder in Fae Farm
You'll probably be used to planting all kinds of vegetables and other things in fae farm. Flowers can be a nightmare, but fodder, thankfully, is not. To get fodder, you'll need to open the crafting menu while in your farm and navigate to the 'farming' tab. To make a fodder grass patch, you'll need:
- Mulch (5)
- Harvested in areas right of the farm with a copper shovel or better
- Rough peridot (5)
- Gathered in the Saltwater Mines
- Shell bits (3)
- Reward for putting snails in the critter conservatory
The patch it creates is quite large, and will immediately be ready for your animals to graze on while they're outside. You can also use a scythe to harvest it if you prefer to put food directly in the barn's trough.
They're not as readily available, but players can also get fodder by:
- Letting crops die as seasons change and harvesting the dead plants.
- Just try not to lose any valuable crops like Frost Beets!
- Harvesting grass near the animals in the Plains of Plenty
That's everything you need to know about fodder in Fae Farm. Your animals will thank you, and so will your brain if you check out our guide to getting frost fuzz. We can help you wave to your animals, too - they wave back!
