How do we feed our pets? My beagle is starving and every time I drop him near the food bowls, he would do something else. It said that there is 780 pet food avalible.

Hello jumpycan! The pets will go to the food bowl on their own to eat so it’s important to always make sure plenty of pet food is available. Was your beagle without pet food for a while, thus the starving status? If so, it may take him a few minutes to notice that there’s now plenty of food in his bowl. You can also pick him up and drop him back down near his favorite food bowl a few times until his action says “Feeling hungry.” He should then eat. It’ll take a couple of feedings for his food meter to fill up enough so that his status is not starving or hungry. I hope this helps!

Hi there. My pets always have the 'starving' status. I put them on or near the food bowls and they don't eat. They do something else instead. They are not without food to justify the starving status.
They only have the "feeling hungry" action once - soon after getting them. I praise them when they are eating, (Not that you can tell praising does anything with them.), hoping that will encourage that behavior, but it doesn't work.
I've also checked the data screen to see if they really are in need of nourishment, and they are. They still don't eat. Food disappears from the food bowl, although I never see them eat it, and they remain starving. I've stopped purchasing pets because I get tired of having pets that appear to be starving to death all the time. It's discomforting.
This is obviously a glitch of some kind as others have written about it on this and other venues. Please fix it.
Also, please amend it to where the pets can actually PLAY with their toys. They don't recognize or interact with them and so it's just a waste of money to buy them. Poor pets have little to do in the house. Thanks.

Hi Lkb, thanks for your message!
Pets will eat of their own accord when they are hungry; it is not necessary to drag and drop them on the pet bowls, though if they are very low on hunger, you can buy also pet treats in the store!
