Calculate food costs, XP gains, and optimal feeding strategies for leveling pets.

Feeding Cost Calculator

Base food cost is $75 (Modest XP growth)

Feeding Calculation Results

Levels to Upgrade: 4 levels

Food Items Needed: 4 items

Total Cost: $300

Cost per Level: $75

Note: Each level increases pet income by 10-15% (average 12.5%). Use the ROI Calculator to determine if leveling up is worth the investment.

Feeding Strategy Guide

Focus Feeding Strategy

It's most efficient to feed all your food to your highest-earning pet to maximize your Return on Investment (ROI).

  • Feed $1,000/sec Exclusives first for maximum ROI
  • Focus on Epics and Legendaries that make the most money
  • Don't waste food on low-tier animals earning less than $10-20/sec

Bulk Buying

Buy food in bulk using the "Buy All" button if available. This saves time and allows for efficient feeding sessions.

Level Requirements

Some features, like breeding, require pets to reach a certain level before they can participate. For example, Liger breeding requires parents at level 5+.

Income Growth

Higher-level pets provide more income. Typical growth factor is 10-15% per level (average 12.5%). A level 5 pet earns approximately 50% more than a level 1 pet of the same type.

Food & XP Information

Base Food Cost: $75 per item (Modest XP growth)

XP Growth: Modest XP growth per food item

Breeding Cooldown: Food increases XP and reduces breeding cooldowns

Leveling: Feeding animals increases their level (XP), which improves their stats and unlocks breeding potential

Food Quality: Higher-tier pets may require better quality food (like bones or high-grade wheat) to level up effectively
