On TWITCH it was said it is easier to re-colour pets to look like another animal than designing new pets etc.

well i went through the pets, and came up with this small list of pets which can be re-coloured to look like other animals,

i have sorted it out by pet class basic etc and gens

BASIC PETS

GEN 1

- Kangaroo - eastern grey kangaroo

- Parrot - Lutino Macaw

GEN 3

- Clownfish - Hailstorm ocellaris
- Black ocellaris


- Crab - Blue swimmer crab

- Frog - Corroborree frog
- Red-eyed green tree frog
- any of the tree frog species

GEN 4

-Dragonfly - just re-colour the body to either red or blue, simple

- Snail - Golden Apple Snail

GEN 5

- Zebra -Quagga ( i have suggested this horse for mounts also )

GEN 6

- Orange Dart Frog - Golden poison frog
- Mimic Poison Frog
- Dyeing Dart Frog
- Green and Black Poison Frog

- White Swan - Black-necked swan


GEN 7

- Crow - Hooded crow
- Albino


GEN 10

- Black Widow - Red- back spider


- Tarantula - Purple tarantula

GEN 14

- Bald Eagle - Brahminy Kite
- Golden Eagle



GEN1 16

-Robin - Eastern Yellow robin
- Red-capped robin
- Scarlet Robin
- Pink Robin


GEN 18


- Budgie - green (it's original colour)
- Blue
- white
- rainbow lorikeet



EVENT PETS


- Misfit elf - re-colour to look like Pinocchio perhaps

- Red-kneed Tarantula - orange baboon tarantula


MISC Pets

- Octopus - change body colour to red like it is in the wild


Here is some mounts which would look good as pets:

- Hippocriff
- Rhinoceros beetle
- ornithomimus
- Sabretooth
- Caracal
- Blue Duck
- Mallard
- Pekin Duck
- Praying mantis
- Iguana
- Rose Peacock
- Black Peacock
- Flowery Peacock
- Griffin
- Baryonyx
- Cassowary

Here is some ranch items which can be re-coloured into something else perhaps:

- Horizontal wall segement - make the segements look like under the sea/water so we can make our
own aquarium or even make the segements look like the sky or even garden scene

- hedges - a light green with yellow/pink flowers or both

- one of the fountains could spurt out rainbow coloured water

Hey Nick, just wanted to say thanks again for adding Gift of Love to the Town Crier's available quest list.
Been wanting this for so long because I have missed a day or two due to changes in my schedule and I got distracted! So happy you guys got it to work!

About the Valentine's event Secret Admirer's note. I have this little theory that the "true secret admirer" is the event organizer and it's her way of saying thanks for all the help Bush Whacker has done. What do you think of this headcanon? :)
(Have I asked this before? Sorry if I'm repeating myself!)

Thanks for taking "more ways to earn Unique DNA" into consideration. Completing the Salty Cactus quest every week was my main way of (very slowly) building up my Unique DNA inventory to eventually buy out the PAGAS pets but now it's tied to hub quests only and I've still pages and pages of pets to catch up to... :')

That's why I asked last time but thanks for the tip for earning Unique DNA by max leveling pets then releasing them.

Just spotted the Rainbow Elven Hair in stores. Love it! Thank you for making it available. Although I was hoping the hair would function like the Rainbow Hairstyle or Pink Hairstyle so I could pair it with Flower Accents.
Anyway love the pastel colors and how the hair colors flow from purple to blue to pinkish-orange. Kudos to the artists!

Thanks for adding the search feature to various menus and inventories. I hope we can see the search feature added to General Items. Would be useful for quickly tracking how many Easter Eggs we have currently or pulling up the Amicus Isle treasure hunt clue or any Sugarless drinks we have. :)

Probably requested this before but could we have 3 day crops for 3 day weekends? :D
I know there's the Flux Dust Crops but we all know Flux Dust Seeds are SUPER rare.

The 2 day crops are already great for weekends!

Would it be possible to scale down some of the mounts to companions? For example small minchin serpents, floaties or winged tigers. I liked having a companion camel to accompany my camel mount. It would be cute to be able to have pairs.

Hi Nick,

Since we are having a Sports Event this year it would be great to have some gym equipment for our ranch.

We already have barbells and an exercise ball, but maybe you could add a treadmill like the one the blob fish trains on in the Dog Days event, and other items such as a body weight scale, a static exercise bike, yoga mat, bar bell rack, and a weight bench.

Also just a reminder for future Quality of Life updates ...Could you please add an arrow or a “continue to next page” button to indicate there are more requests waiting if there are over 100 requests in the Request Inbox? This would be a great help to players who don't realize they have more requests waiting.

Thanks for your consideration.

Excellent suggestions here Russel! I appreciate you sourcing existing pets to make it easier on Georgia to produce these. I've noted them down for us to consider for future updates!

Glad you're appreciating the Town Crier notifying you when your Gift of Love quest is ready!

I like that headcanon about the secret admirer quest! I'll note it down to consider incorporating for next year.

I could consider making the Rainbow Elven Hair available in hairstyles. It wouldn't function for some hats though is the problem (the hats that change your hair to fit the hat). But if you folks don't mind that, I'll reconsider.

A search bar for the general inventory would be handy! We've talked about it when folks bring up adding more tabs, which there isn't space for. I'll keep it in mind for future updates! Soon, all things will have search bars mwahahaha!

72 hour crops are on our requests list to consider for future crops. I do see the appeal for a big 3 day weekend.

Having a matching pet and mount is very cute! We've been adding them on a case-by-case basis, so if you think of any in particular, I'll add them to the list for us to consider. I'll put the 3 you mentioned on there.

Some more gym equipment would be great! The treadmill is on our list, but I'll add the rest for us to consider as well.

Thank you for the reminder regarding +100 friend requests! I'll see if I can prioritize that for the next Quality of Life update.

Okay folks, this is all I have time for, thus concluding this month's forum Q&A! Thank you for the questions, feedback, and discussion! I hope those reading this afterwards find it informative.

I'll catch you in this week's Bush Whacker Weekly livestream on Twitch!

Happy whacking!
