How to get Animals in Roblox Build an Island

Pets become available after establishing the Animal area in Roblox Build an Island. You'll find the area on the right side of Merchant Mike, across a bridge, and unlocking it requires 5 Planks and 100 Wood.

Once the area is unlocked, you'll notice several wheat bushes. Collect and use them on the adjacent squares. The moment you use Wheat to unlock a square, an egg will hatch on the screen and reward you with a random Pet. You must then continue expanding the island to access the Barn and different Eggs.

Eggs vary in cost, and one of them is Robux-exclusive. Their names, cost, contents, and the odds of finding a particular animal are listed below:

Starter Egg (500 Coins)

• Dachshund - 50%
• Cat - 40%
• Chicken - 10%

Farm Egg (25,000 Coins)

• Pig - 50%
• Sheep - 45%
• Cow - 5%

Elite Egg (250,000 Coins)

• Rabbit - 65%
• Duck - 44%
• Eagle - 1%

Exotic Egg (99 Robux)

• Alpaca - 49%
• Owl - 22%
• Macaw - 14%
• Capybara - 10%
• Panda - 4%
• Peacock - 1%

At the beginning, you will have access to the Starter Egg and Exotic Egg. More kinds of Eggs can be hatched after you finish expanding the Animal area.

Maintaining Animals in Build an Island

Add Bales to maintain your pets (Image via Roblox)

Animals hatched from Eggs must be placed in the Barn to make them active. Equip or pick an animal and simply interact with the building. They will begin roaming the area, occasionally providing resources when fed.

Bales are required in plentiful to feed your pets. To get the resource, you must expand the island till you unlock the Hay Baler. The machine slowly converts 4 Wheat into a single Bale, after which the end product is added to your inventory.

To fast-track your resource collection progress, it is recommended to assign a Worker for Wheat collection and another for converting it into Bales. Autochoppers can also be placed near the wheat bushes for AFK grinding.

Certain areas introduced by the Animal Update of Build an Island require Salt, Mushroom Planks, and rare materials. Thus, players must expand their island to a certain extent to unlock them and continue their progress.
