Breeding is the best way to get new and rare pets on Starfall Island. There are plenty of pets on this island that can be tamed, but it appears that most Starfall pets are genetically compatible, and that breeding them will result in a new kind of animal! It also appears that there are certain kinds of patterns and markings within each species that cannot be found in the wild and can only be unlocked through breeding.

Please be sure to read Breeding Mechanics before attempting to breed a pair. 

My research has shown that males are naturally infertile and they need to eat a berry specific to their species in order to reproduce. We have named each berry after the pet it makes fertile, in order to make things easier. So, if you want to breed a male Tougi, you need a Tougi berry, if you want to breed a male Belldeer, you need a Belldeer Berry and if you want to breed a male Cactibulb, you need a Cactibulb Berry. Make sure the berry you have matches the male of your breeding pair! If you have a male Belldeer, a female Tougi and a Tougi Berry, you will not be able to breed, you would need a Belldeer Berry. Berries can only be used once, so choose your mates wisely!

Pets are guaranteed to produce offspring, provided the correct berry is used. Keep in mind that when crossbreeding between two different species (such as a Tougi and a Belldeer), you never quite know which species you will get. Benebatch has begun researching how berries impact pets in an effort to find something which will increase the odds of getting something truly rare out of crossbreeding.

If you would like to breed your pet, there are two methods:

:bulletblue: The first is to check for open slots on the Breeding Sign Up and reserve an open slot. These slots are first come first serve, so you'll have to be quick! Reply to the sign up post with your completed form and ensure you have the correct berry in your inventory. If your pet is breeding with the pet of another adopter, please make sure the other party replies to your post to confirm that they have agreed to the breeding. Please keep in mind that the details of whose inventory items used will be removed from, who gets the offspring and any other terms involved in the breeding arrangements (such as fan art, journal features, etc) must be worked out between the pet owners in advance. Once your breeding request form is completed, staff will confirm your spot and post a photo of the offspring when it is born.

:bulletblue: The second method is to purchase a breeding slot via the commissions module on StarfallIslanders' page. These slots help fun our research, and when using one of these slots, you do not need to provide a berry. For this method, simply purchase a breeding slot and be sure to fill out the breeding form in the commissions module. Remember that any details of who will use their items, who gets the offspring and any other terms involved in the breeding arrangements (such as fan art, journal features, etc) must be worked out between the pet owners in advance. If more than one adopter is involved in the breeding, the Starfall staff will contact the other party to confirm that they have approved the breeding and the pair will be confirmed. Once everything is confirmed, a photo of the offspring will be submitted to the group as soon as it is born!

We are still very early on in our research of the animals who inhabit Starfall Island, please check back for more information, new discoveries and more details on what species and markings can be achieved through breeding.
