Tiny Pasture: How to Breed Animals

Tiny Pasture is a cute and cozy management idler that puts you in charge of a miniature farm. As you grow your collection of Animals and unlock more slots for them, they’ll play around at the bottom of your desktop, take naps, eat food, and provide a steady flow of coins.

When you unlock a new Animal in the game, you can buy it from the store to add it to your pasture. But inevitably, you’ll run out of space on your farm, and you’ll have to breed the ones that you have in your collection before you can buy new ones. In this guide, we’ll explain all there’s to know about breeding Animals in Tiny Pasture.

How To Breed Animals in Tiny Pasture

Breeding Animals in Tiny Pasture is a straightforward process, but you must have the right Facility for it. Facilities are special structures in the game that let you automate tasks on your farm. To breed Animals, you must unlock the Mystery Curtain Facility and place it on your farm.

Once you have the Mystery Curtain, open your Collection by clicking on the Home button in the sidebar menu and selecting the Breed button. This will open a new window where you need to pick two Animals of the same species. You can choose whether the baby Animal will inherit its parents’ name or color before clicking Confirm to proceed.

Alternatively, you can navigate to the Facilities page in the Shop and click the Breed button beside the Mystery Curtain.

The two selected Animals will walk up to the Mystery Curtain, and after a short time, a new baby Animal will appear! However, keep in mind that the two parent Animals will disappear from your pasture.

Should You Breed Your Animals in Tiny Pasture?

Breeding Animals in Tiny Pasture comes with several benefits:

The new Animal that you get from breeding has a chance to be of a higher rarity. For example, if you breed a Yellow Deer and a Blue Deer, the baby might be a Purple Rarity.
The baby Animal inherits the combined earning rate of its parents, increasing overall coin gain.
Baby Animals have a higher coin storage capacity, allowing them to passively generate more income while the game runs in the background.

The baby Animal’s rarity can’t be lower than the highest rarity of its parents.

The only downside of breeding is that the baby Animal will require some food immediately and will take a while to grow up. While this means you take a small hit to your income for the time being, the long-term benefits make it a worthwhile thing to do in Tiny Pasture.
