The Wildlife Habitat is now available to breed more animals in FarmVille! Harvesting your wildlife animals inside the Habitat counts towards Animal Mastery! And guess what? More animals in your Habitat means more chances of finding new Mystery Babies! You can have more than one Habitat on your farm and can choose which Habitat you would like to use to store a specific wildlife animal. Build your Habitat and start growing these cute little creatures today!


The Wildlife Habitat is the first of 6 additional new breeding buildings to come.

Farmers with an Animal Trough will receive a message to replace it with a new Wildlife Habitat. But do not fear, the Wildlife Habitat will offer you even more opportunities to claim Animals!

Breeding your Animals:


You can breed a wide variety of wildlife animals, such as deer, frogs, porcupines, squirrels, reindeer, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and woodchucks.

You don’t need pairs of animals to find a Mystery Baby; you just need one of any particular wildlife animal in your Habitat to have a chance of finding its Mystery Baby upon harvesting the Habitat!

Placing the Wildlife Habitat:


You will need the following Building Materials to complete your Wildlife Habitat:

    * 10x Fence Posts
    * 10x Shrubs
    * 10x Grazing Grass 
 There are three ways of obtaining Building Materials:

    * Free Gifts Tab – Send a Free Gift to friends to help them with their building
    * Click on green button “Ask for Part” – Send requests for parts to any friend once every four hours
    * Click on the green button “Complete Now” – Use Farm Cash to complete Building immediately.



This is what your Wildlife Habitat will look like once it’s completed:


Upon completing your Wildlife Habitat, you will receive a free Porcupine:


 You can store up to 20 animals in each Wildlife Habitat that you own. Like Orchards, you will be able to have more than one Habitat to place on your farm.

Clicking on the Wildlife Habitat gives you the option to:

    * Look inside
    * Apply Instant Grow
    * Move
    * Sell

                 


Animals that are qualified for the Habitat but are not placed inside the Habitat (whether you own these animals or not) appear translucent:


Some animals are only available from the Market, while others are available from your friends (Some animals will be not available at this time, but stay tuned as they may make a comback in the future!). When looking Inside the Wildlife Habitat, the Mystery Babies that are available from Friends will have a small sunshine indicator in the tooltip when rolling your cursor over the animal. So keep an eye on your Newsfeed for wildlife Mystery Babies from your friends!

The Mystery Babies that you can claim from your friends can include:

·         Rare Mystery Babies:

The Rare Mystery Babies have pink baby bundles and include previous Limited Edition items worth less than 15 Farm Cash and Common Mystery Game prizes.

·         For Common Mystery Babies:

The Common Mystery Babies have green baby bundles and include previous Coin animals, Lonely Animals, and Quest Rewards.

Note: The information above applies only to Mystery Babies you claim from your friends! Any Mystery Baby that you find in your own Wildlife Habitat will grow up to be just like one of the animals that was in your Habitat at the time of harvest! (To qualify to create a Mystery Baby, an animal must be in the Habitat from before 10% harvest progress until the Habitat is harvested.)

Harvesting your animals inside the Wildlife Habitat:

You will see a pink arrow above the Wildlife Habitat once it’s ready for harvest and an orange illumination around when hovering over:




When you harvest your Wildlife Habitat for coins and Animal Mastery, you have a chance to find a Mystery Baby! The more animals inside your Habitat, the better your chances of finding a Mystery Baby upon harvest. When you find a Mystery Baby, you’ll have the option to share an extra one with your friends!
Keep a lookout in your Newsfeed for Mystery Babies that you can claim from your friends!

You don’t need pairs of animals to find a Mystery Baby; you just need one of any particular wildlife animal in your Habitat to have a chance of finding its Mystery Baby upon harvesting the Habitat!

When you don’t find a Mystery Baby upon harvest, you will find coins and Animal Feed, which you can share with your friends!

Mystery Baby Animals:

Mystery Babies grow up into rare or common animals; the color of the baby bundle will tell you which is which: pink baby bundles are rare, and green baby bundles are common.

When you find a Mystery Baby after harvest, you will be able to place the little baby on your farm. There will be a green illumination hovering over open areas on your farm:



After placing your new little baby on the farm, you will have five options:

    * Complete Now – Use Farm Cash to complete animal immediately
    * Feed Baby (requires Animal Feed)
    * Ask For Feed – Post your request to the Newsfeed where your friends can click the post and help send you Animal Feed
    * Move
    * Sell

When selecting “Ask For Feed”, you can ask your Friends to send Animal Feed. You will need 10 or 30 Animal Feeds to complete your baby, depending on whether the baby is common or rare:



You will be notified once your baby is full grown, then you will have the option of placing on your farm. Any Mystery Baby that you find in your own Wildlife Habitat will grow up to be just like one of the animals that was in your Habitat at the time of harvest! (To qualify to create a Mystery Baby, an animal must be in the Habitat from before 10% harvest progress until the Habitat is harvested.)

When trying to move an animal, the appropriate Wildlife Habitat will illuminate in blue and then you can place inside:

Featured Animals:

The last three animals placed inside your Wildlife Habitat will be featured after exiting the “Look Inside” option:
