oYo Breedables is a virtual animal system that has been operating in online worlds like Second Life and the TAG Grid for over ten years.
The platform offers a wide selection of creatures, including horses, elephants, dogs, and fantasy animals, which users can feed, care for, and breed. Detailed tutorials explain specific game mechanics such as growth phases, pregnancies, and the necessary provision of food and medicine.
In addition to technical support, the website also includes news about events, information about accessories such as toys, and a fictional backstory about the origin of the dodos. Furthermore, the operators emphasize transparency through detailed privacy policies and legal information.
To successfully care for and breed oYo animals in virtual worlds like Second Life or the TAG Grid, you must consider the specific needs of each species as well as their general growth and reproduction mechanisms.
Basic Care:
The health of your animals depends significantly on regular care:
Nutrition: Most oYo animals consume one unit of food per hour. Ensure that there is always an adequate supply, as prolonged absence (when the animal is “sleeping” in your inventory) can negatively impact its health.
Medication: Should your animal become ill or fall into a coma, specialized medication or an injection will be necessary to treat or resuscitate it.
Retirement: Many animals (such as horses and dodos) retire at 120 days of age. They no longer require food and can be kept as regular pets.
Successful Breeding:
The breeding process follows a similar pattern for most species, but varies in duration:
Maturation: Animals must first reach adulthood. For horses, dodos, dogs, and pigs, this typically takes 5 days.
Increasing Fevor (Mating Readiness): To enable mating, you must raise the “Fevor” value to 100. This is achieved through specific supplements:
– Horses: Require salt (100 units) or sugar as a boost.
– Dodos: Require starfruit.
– Fuzzy Buzzies: Require candy.
Pregnancy and Offspring:
After successful mating, pregnancy begins (e.g., 5 days for horses/Dodos). At the end, you will receive a bundle or an egg in your inventory.
Configuration and Birth:
Rez the bundle near the mother to apply the configuration. Afterward, you can select “Birth” from the menu to spawn the new animal or save the configured bundle in your inventory for later use.
Interaction and Well-being
Movement:
You can adjust your animals’ walk range via a menu.
Riding:
Adult horses, dodos, and tame elephants can be ridden. Horses’ speed can be increased by riding, training on a treadmill, or feeding them carrots.
Happiness (Fuzzies):
Fuzzy Buzzies collect “Happiness Points” by playing with toys (such as dance floors or toy boxes). These points can be collected in a “Piggy Bank” and exchanged for new accessories.
