While I suppose that's one way to keep my pigs (it amuses me horribly) I'm none too keen on the chickens being underfoot. Is there a way to move my animals, or am I doomed to set them free and get more?
You can capture the pigs using pig bait if you have the right skill(s). Or you can use Animal Youth Potion on them. If they're on the first floor of your house, the chickens (and butterflies, if you have any) can be lured outside with animal sticks. (Idk what'd happen if they were on a higher floor... I'm not sure they can pass through walls.)
@Millie- when I released my butterflies outside (in r2) i later decided to move them upstairs into my bedroom... But they just flew underneath the stick on my first floor wouldn't cross through the ceiling =(
I insta-hatched my pigs on a table. Very amusing watching six pigs walk around on a very small table. This was pre-reboxing so second time around I learned my lesson and was very careful when picking up and moving stuff around.
This happened to me, I didn't even notice the new feature and all my piggies and chickens hatched right there in my yard. I just set the chickens free and captured some of the piggies to move them to my front street.
