Feeding monsters is not intuitive

[safe coral]

I just played My Little Monsters for the first time yesterday and I got stuck for at least five minutes in the tutorial trying to feed my monster. And it would just not eat. Because in my head the ways to feed a monster were:

1. Hold the fruit close to its face and wait for it to eat or
2. Put down the fruit right in front of it.

However, my monster would blatantly ignore these attempts and instead I had to figure out that it wanted me to

3. Throw the fruit like I was trying to play catch.

This felt very frustrating to me because I was presumably in the tutorial phase and failing already at this presumably easy task.

Yeah it kinda sucks I wanna actually feed them not throw their food

yeah i was stuck too, you have to let the food sit for just a minute or throw it at a wall and wait

I almost quit the game mid tutorial because of this ngl.
I threw the fruit out of frustration and only then did he begin eating.

Yeah i got another egg and tips on how to feed them. here they are, Place the food 3-5 rr meters and wait, Place the food on its side, move it fast like throwing but dont throw

I wonder if I was the only person that just figured it out first try

It just made sense for me

Or you could just make a different pet follow you and interact with the pet you wanted to feed while holding the food, which just gives the pet the food so you don't have to throw it

I did

I honestly thought most people would naturally know.

i found out another way (easier on screen mode) (on vr you have to have 2 pets)
Screen Mode: Hold food, go up to your monster and on follow the prompt
VR: Have 2 pets, make one of the other pets you travel companion, hold food, go to the pet you want to feed and i know it says a diffrent prompt then screen mode, but, follow the prompt (make sure that you are holding food)
