Snacks Boost Luck, But Decrease Health
Look, we all love a good spot of junk food every now and then, our Weyrdlets pets included, but a steady diet of snacks just isn’t good for you. As mentioned above, each pet has both a fruit and a snack it prefers eating, witha pet’s preferred snack food offering the highest Luck boostat once.
The downside to that, though, is that junk food isn’t very healthy, and your pets will start to feel it.Too much junk food will decrease a pet’s Health meter, so be mindful of the balance you’re feeding them!
