Food Preferences

Most pets in Habitica have food preferences. Feeding a pet its preferred type of food will cause it to grow into a mount more quickly than feeding it a non-preferred type of food.

Mechanics
The Food Bar appears under every pet that has not yet grown into a mount and tracks its progress towards doing so. After being hatched for the first time, a pet starts with 10% of the bar filled. The bar fills by a certain amount each time the pet is fed. Preferred foods fill the Food Bar much faster (10% per item) than other foods (4% per item). Therefore, it takes 9 preferred foods to grow a pet into a mount and 23 non-preferred foods for a pet to grow into a mount.

Specific Preferred Foods
Each pet that is hatched from a standard potion has a preference for a certain food. As described above, when fed with their preferred food, pets will turn into mounts much faster than with non-preferred food.

Show/Hide the food preferences table. (SPOILER ALERT!) The pet's food preference depends on which hatching potion was used on its egg.



Pets hatched with magic hatching potions enjoy all types of food, and therefore are easier to train. It takes 9 total food items of any kind for them to grow rather than 9 specific food items.
