How To Get A Pet Turtle In Stardew Valley
Before you can get another pet inStardew Valley, you will need tomaximize your relationship with your first pet.Pets have a maximum friendship level of 1000 points, which increases each time you pet them or fill their water bowl.
You can check your Friendship level with your pet via the Animals tab on the menu.
Each pet inStardew Valleyneeds their own outdoor Pet Bowl, which is why you will need to purchase one before you can adopt a Turtle. Pet Bowls can be purchased fromRobinat the Carpenter’s Shop. One Pet Bowl costs5,000 goldand requires25 Hardwood. Hardwood can be collected by chopping down Mahogany Trees and stumps on your farm.
However, as mentioned earlier, if you haven’t reached maximum hearts with your pet, you won’t be able to purchase a Pet Bowl from Robin.
After placing the Pet Bowl on the farm, visitMarnie’s Ranchand interact with her. From Marnie’s dialogue options, clickAdopt Petsand scroll down to choose the Turtle you want to adopt. There are two types of Turtles, each with a licensing fee.
After you pay the required gold, you can name your new pet turtle, and Marnie will promptly send it to your home. Choose your turtle’s name wisely since it cannot be changed once the pet is adopted. Upon reaching home, you’ll find your pet turtle at your farm.
Marnie can be found at her shop from 9 AM to 4 PM every day except Mondays and Tuesdays. Marnie’s Ranch also remains closed on Fall 18 and Winter 18.
