All Animal Trough Locations in Heartopia

By newsgame

Greysun is the lead guides editor at Game Rant, covering all the biggest AAA titles to the smaller indie gems. He’s been a big Nintendo fan since the SNES days and patiently awaits a Super Mario Odyssey sequel.

Once you complete the ‘Animal Care‘ segment of the Daily Life guide as you progress the main story of Heartopia, you will be able to find and feed several species of animals littered around the map. There are eight different ones to interact with, but you’ll need to locate each of their troughs (the things they eat out of) to increase the bond level to unlock new interactions and upgrades.

With this Heartopia animal trough guide, we will show you the exact locations so you don’t need to spend hours running or biking around the island seeking them out yourself. Here we go!

Before we get into it, though, it’s worth noting that the animal troughs will not show up until you complete the Animal Care quest in the Town Guide.
