Rabbits are the first farm animals players can raise in Starsand Island. They are unlocked early through the Rancher profession by speaking with Pastelle at the Green Pasture Ranch northwest of your farm. Rabbits serve three key purposes: producing Wool for textile crafting, generating Poop for fertilizer, and eating weeds from your farmland to keep crops healthy. There are four rabbit variants, ranging from the common brown rabbit to the rare glowing Luna Rabbit.
To start raising rabbits, visit Pastelle at the Green Pasture Ranch. Speaking with her will unlock the Rancher profession and allow you to purchase your first Common Rabbit for 75 coins. You will also receive the Rabbit Hutch blueprint as part of the Apprentice Rancher tutorial. Build a hutch, place it on your property, and assign your rabbit to begin collecting products.
Common Rabbits can also be found in the wild when cutting down trees and shrubs, though purchasing from the ranch is more reliable.
Rabbits are housed in a Rabbit Hutch, which requires the following materials to build:
Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
15 | |
5 |
Each Rabbit Hutch holds a maximum of 4 animals. To raise more rabbits, you will need to build additional hutches. Keep in mind that breeding requires at least one empty slot in the hutch, so a full hutch of four rabbits cannot produce offspring.
There are four distinct rabbit breeds in Starsand Island. Each shares the same basic function but varies in rarity, appearance, and weed-clearing capability.
Variant | Appearance | How to Obtain | Weeds Removed/Day |
|---|---|---|---|
Common Rabbit | Brown and white | Purchase from Pastelle (75 coins) or find in the wild | Up to 5 |
White and grey with large droopy ears | Breeding only (breed from Common or Luna parents) | Up to 5 | |
Round, white body | Find in the wild or Bio Research Stamp #1 (Silver) reward | Up to 5 | |
White and pink with a glowing effect | Intermediate Rancher reward or Bio Research Stamp #2 (Green) reward | Up to 15 |
The Luna Rabbit is the standout variant. Its weed removal rate of 15 per day is three times higher than any other rabbit, making it the best choice for keeping farmland clear. The glowing visual effect also makes it easy to spot in your hutch.
Rabbits generate several products over time as they live in their hutch. Collect products regularly to keep your rabbits happy and your storage stocked.
Product | Description | Use |
|---|---|---|
A bundle of animal fur, a high-quality raw material | Textile crafting, cloth production, selling | |
Premium Wool | Higher-grade wool produced when rabbits are very happy | Premium textile crafting, higher sell value |
Rabbit Poop | A round little pellet left behind after digestion | |
Poop | General animal waste | |
Golden Poop | Rare droppings from very happy animals | High-value fertilizer or selling |
Silver Poop | Uncommon droppings from happy animals | Mid-value fertilizer or selling |
To produce Premium Wool, all rabbits in the hutch must reach 150 Happiness or higher. When this threshold is met, Premium Wool replaces regular Wool the following day. Keep your rabbits well-fed and clean to maintain high Happiness.
One of the biggest practical benefits of raising rabbits is their ability to eat weeds from your farm plots. Weeds grow on farmland daily and can choke your crops if left unchecked. Each rabbit assigned to your farm will automatically eat weeds up to its daily limit.
Common, Lop-eared, and Dango Rabbits: Remove up to 5 weeds per day each.
Luna Rabbit: Removes up to 15 weeds per day, making it by far the most efficient weed clearer.
For large farms, consider keeping multiple rabbits active. Two Luna Rabbits alone can handle 30 weeds per day, which is more than enough for most farm setups. Pairing rabbits with chickens (which handle pest control by eating bugs) covers both major farm maintenance tasks.
Rabbits breed automatically when certain conditions are met. You need:
One male and one female rabbit of the same species in the same hutch.
At least one empty slot in the hutch (maximum capacity is 4).
Both rabbits must be fed, clean, and happy.
When all conditions are met, rabbits can breed overnight, producing a baby once per day at most. Baby rabbits have a chance to inherit the DNA genes of their parents, though inheritance is not guaranteed for any specific trait.
After reaching the Intermediate Rancher rank, you can purchase the Breeding House blueprint from the Green Pasture Ranch for 3,500 coins. The Breeding House lets you isolate specific pairs of rabbits to breed together, giving you control over which parents are paired. This is essential for targeting specific DNA traits and working toward rare color variants.
An upgraded version, the Selective Breeding House, becomes available at higher Rancher ranks. It offers even greater control over the breeding process, increasing the probability of passing down desired genes.
Each rabbit carries a set of DNA genes that influence its behavior and product quality. Traits are passed from parent to offspring during breeding, though there is always an element of randomness. Key positive traits include:
Workaholic: Increased product output.
Twins: Chance to produce twin offspring when breeding.
Precocial: Baby animals mature faster.
Negative traits can also be inherited, so pay attention to which rabbits you pair. Use the Breeding House to separate rabbits with undesirable genes from your breeding stock.
The Expert Rancher certification quest from Pastelle requires you to breed a rabbit with 5 positive DNA genes. This is the final and most challenging step in the Rancher profession questline.
Tips for completing this quest:
Start with your best rabbit (ideally one with 3 or more positive traits already).
Use the Breeding House to pair two parents that share the same positive traits. Over several generations, you can stack multiple traits on a single offspring.
Avoid using any rabbit with negative traits as a parent, since those traits can be passed down and disqualify the offspring.
Craft Love Feed using the Love Feeder (blueprint available from the Green Pasture shop) to speed up the breeding cycle.
Be patient. This quest requires multiple generations of selective breeding and some luck with gene inheritance.
Once you have a rabbit with five positive genes, return to Pastelle to complete the Expert Rancher certification and finish your ranching training.
Keeping rabbits happy is important for product quality and breeding success. The Happiness system works as follows:
Feeding: Feed your rabbits daily. Hungry rabbits lose Happiness quickly.
Cleaning: Use a brush to clean your rabbits every couple of days. Dirty animals become unhappy.
Space: Overcrowded hutches reduce Happiness. Keep at least one slot open when possible.
Premium Wool threshold: Reach 150 Happiness on all hutch residents to unlock Premium Wool production.
Buy your first Common Rabbit from Pastelle as soon as you unlock the Rancher profession. The 75-coin investment pays for itself quickly through Wool and fertilizer production.
Prioritize unlocking the Luna Rabbit through the Intermediate Rancher certification. Its 15-weed-per-day removal rate saves enormous amounts of manual farm maintenance.
Dango Rabbits can also be found in the wild when foraging, so keep an eye out while gathering other resources.
For the Expert Rancher quest, plan your breeding across multiple real-time play sessions. It is not something you can rush in a single sitting.
