Animals

Where can I find new animals?

You need to build a Feeder for each type of animals or they'll run away and be lost in the forest.

You can move Feeders just like any other buildings. Animals will find their Feeder and come running to it.

My animal is lying on the grass and can't get up. What's going on?

If you tap a free Shmoo, they'll know that you want to play. Try this out, it's so much fun!

I assigned Shmoo on Production but then I changed my mind. Can I cancel this assignment?

Shmoos already assigned to production or watering plants can't be called back. They are sooo into this job, so they can't be distracted by anything. But if you've sent your Shmoo to cut trees or to get rid of stones or weeds, you can cancel it if you tap on the tree, stone or weed once more before Shmoo reaches it.
