NEW PET RUN GUIDE AUGUST

The Pet Run is now available to breed more animals in FarmVille! Harvesting your Pet Run animals inside the Run counts towards Animal Mastery! And guess what? More animals in your Run means more chances of finding new Mystery Babies! You can have more than one Run on your farm and can choose which Run you would like to use to store a specific Pet Run animal.

The Pet Run is the second of 6 additional new buildings to come. Some of these buildings will eventually substitute existing Animal Buildings and provide improved and awesome ways to breed animals. Build your Run and start growing these cute little pets today!

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

Breeding your Animals:


You can breed a wide variety of Pet Run animals, such as cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, chinchillas, and hedgehogs.

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

Placing the Pet Run:

You will need the following Building Materials to complete your Pet Run:

-  10x Painted Wood
-  10x Water Pump
-  10x Fence Post

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 Pet Run will look like once it’s completed:

Upon completing your Pet Run, you will receive one free Himalayan Cat:

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


Clicking on the Pet Run gives you the option to:

-  Look inside
-  Apply Instant Grow
-  Move
-  Sell

You can view all your current animals inside your Pet Run, including Animal Mastery status and quantity, when selecting the “Look Inside” option. You can also use Animal Instant Grow which will be applied to all animals inside the Pet Run:

There are two different types of Mystery Babies:
 

-  Rare:
The Rare Mystery Babies are pink and include previous Limited Edition items and Mystery Game prizes.
-  Common:
The Common Mystery Babies are orange and include previous Coin and Lonely Animals and Quest Rewards.

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

Some animals are only available from the Market, while others are available from your friends. When looking Inside the Pet Run, the Mystery Babies that are available from Friends will have a small sunshine indicator while above the animal. So keep an eye on your Newsfeed for Pet Run Mystery Babies from your friends!

Note: Some animals will not be available at this time, but stay tuned as they may make a comeback in the future!

Harvesting your animals inside the Pet Run:


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

When you harvest your Pet Run for coins and Animal Mastery, you have a chance to find a Mystery Baby! The more animals inside your Run, 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 Pet Run animal in your Run to have a chance of finding its Mystery Baby upon harvesting the Run!

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 bassinette will tell you which is which: pink baby bassinettes are rare, and orange baby bassinettes 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. Your baby will grow up to be just like its parent in the Run!

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

Featured Animals:


The last five animals placed inside your Pet Run will be featured after exiting the “Look Inside” option:

We hope you enjoy breeding a greater variety of animals and continuing to collect your Animal Mastery signs!
