Buy seeds from Graminova at Happiness Seed Shop for 25 Coins each. Stock is unlimited at Starter Farmer rank.Growth. 12 hours from seed to harvest. Plant in the morning, harvest the same evening or next day.Year-round. Pasture Grass is one of the few crops that grows in all four seasons, so you never need to switch foods based on the calendar.Plot allocation. Three or four tiles of Pasture Grass produce more than enough for both Mellowhen and Zippy, who shares the same favorite food.2323Pair with Zippy2525Zippy the Squirrel also lives in Hopeland and shares Pasture Grass as a favorite food. Adopting both pets in parallel is one of the most efficient early-game strategies for the Fluffy Addiction achievement (3 adoptions).2727Same area. Both pets wander Hopeland. A single feeding loop covers both with minimal walking.Same food. One Pasture Grass plot supplies both daily feedings.Same timeline. If you start daily feeding both on the same day, you reach Affection Level 3 with both at roughly the same time, completing two adoptions in roughly two in-game weeks.2929Post-Adoption Care3131Pet Food Bowl. Place a Pet Food Bowl near Mellowhen's Pet House and keep it stocked. Mellowhen eats from the bowl on its own schedule.Levels 4 and 5. Continue daily feeding to push affection past Level 3. Levels 4 and 5 unlock additional emotes and interaction options.Outfits. Stella does not currently sell capybara-specific outfits, so Mellowhen wears the default capybara appearance.3333Achievements3535AchievementRequirementFluffy LifeAdopt 1 petFluffy AddictionAdopt 3 petsFluffy RecluseAdopt 6 pets3737Tips3838First pet candidate. Mellowhen plus Zippy are the gold-standard first pet adoptions because they are free, close, and use the cheapest food. Bobo is a close third for players who pass through town often.Pasture Grass overproduction. Plant 4 to 6 tiles of Pasture Grass even before adoption. The leftover grass also feeds your livestock animals and produces fiber for crafting.Track on the map. Press M, select the Residents tab, scroll down to find Mellowhen's current position. Capybaras have a small territory and rarely stray far.Skip the shop pets if you want max savings. If your goal is the cheapest path to the Fluffy Recluse achievement, taming the 8 wild pets (Mellowhen, Zippy, Octa, Bobo, Crescent, Meow Alum, Sheriff, wild Scrappy) plus the 404 quest gives you 9 free adoptions.4040Related Articles4242PetsPet Adoption GuideZippyPasture GrassPet HouseHopelandHappiness Seed Shop
