Eating & drinking
They eat spider eyes from the trough (or any other farm animal food), nosing down into it.
A hay bale fills a Feed Trough (6 servings); its usual food, apples, or other farm animal food adds one serving each. Kibble doesn't go in troughs.
To eat, it walks up to the side of the trough and puts its head down over the rim, nibbling. Troughs placed side by side join into one long trough, so a whole herd can eat at once.
Sleeping
When it gets tired it rolls up into its armoured ball right where it is, just like it does when scared in vanilla.
Life as a pet
No special habits beyond eating, drinking and sleeping well. It enjoys being petted, brushed and having you around, and will chase a thrown Pet Ball.
Tips
- One trough per few animals is plenty: troughs hold 6 servings and a hay bale fills one completely.
- Set the herd to Idle in the middle of its field so it stays within 12 blocks of its troughs.
