Companions still won't pick up shadowed snippets

Shes cute but shes cross eyed (which i doubt was intentional). She also floats away in her reaction to being pet
spring canyon
Xbox series X
Alligator companions will pick up squid, but not pike or walleye.
Red & White alligators
silent swift
Ps5
Raccoons don't pick up shiny gems, also when trying to befriend the foxes they straight up just vanish and I can't find them anywhere in the biome.

Xbox Series S
My owl keeps stealing my clothes
Witch Owl... something like that.
silent swift

When hanging out with Max, he is constantly running off. Which is extremely infuriating when you are trying to get him to pick up wood and dig.
slender lynx
Nintendo Switch
Nostalgia Capybara does not pick up spices like it is supposed to.
neon sun
PC/Xbox
Raccoons won't give bonus gems in Storybook Vale.
sturdy sun
The Crocodiles are still buggy where they would put their heads up. When you approach them instead of looking straight at you as always. This happened with the Classic Crocodile just now.
royal ice

My sunbirds have been getting stuck in decor a lot lately
sharp matrix
PC/Steam
I'm not sure if it's all of them, but the baby pegasi have an issue with their left eyes.

Flopping over on their backs instead of sitting up, and melting into the ground

unborn minnow
💎 PC
💎 Companion does not consistently pick up gems/crystals ): Most noticeable with onyx, sapphire, and rubies, though others may apply. Does not seem to be biome/location specific.

Thank you so much!!
tough meteor
Platform: nintendo switch
Issue: Lost 6 companions from catalog in EI. Had only just got 2 cobra few days before.
Had tried saving...came up server error while in SV. Then next time was fine. Went to EI and they were gone.
potent burrow
Companions do not seem to be giving bonus items in Wishblossom ranch. I've had two flower companions out for awhile and while they do pick flowers up, they never get the random bonus one to pop out.
fringe salmon
Companions do not seem to be giving bonus items in Wishblossom Ranch. I've noticed this for collecting vegetables, flowers, and minerals for certain, but probably others as well.
UPDATE: It seems to be type dependent. Geese will give bonuses for Pearl Barley, but Rabbits will not give bonuses for Beetroot. I don't believe I've seen any flower bonuses at all so far.
distant nest
squirrels/bunnies aren't picking up fruit/veggies when gardening with them. Not on a horse just gardening manually with snow white as a companion.
vernal isle
Ps5
Companions continue to move/glide around avatar when doing the petting animation
short imp
Issue on PS5
I can't feed the bee. And when it's up in the large area, it keeps flying back down and respawning. Just like the pink bee. Impossible.
winged thicket
platform: ps5
issue: the bees in pixie flats go up into the matching game area and teleport away to restart the catch mini game (like the monkeys did from a rift in time) so you can’t feed them
rough topaz
Platform: Steam/PC
issue: Cannot feed the bees. They are critters that play tag, but no matter how much I follow, it never gives me the option to approach. Sometimes the bee disappears and teleports elsewhere in the area.
tired shuttle
Platform: PC/Epic
Issue: companions don’t seem to give out any bonus items at all in wihsblossom ranch. They just collect them, but don’t give and bonuses, especially when it comes to flowers.
knotty mesa
PC/Steam
It is crazy that after all this time, the monkeys on Eternity Isle still keep on teleporting and disappearing in the middle of the chase to feed them! Please fix them! It has been couple of years already
slate burrow
Ok so there is just something really cringy😬 to me when it comes to the horses movement, but first let me say i have complained to the devs multiple times on this, and I believe there is no excuse to get it accurately corrected. Sure this is a simple Disney kids game, but If adults play this game too, then i wonder how many people take notice to detailed like I do. I will say first its the way our character, walks and runs. No traction to the ground, we dont move at the correct speed with how our feet run and slip along, it has bothered me ever since, NOW THE HORSES! Ok the walk is almost just about 100% spot on👍🏻, the run is ok, now the IN BETWEEN TROT?! OMG its just done horribly, worse then our characters running, they are trotting like they’re sliding on ice! To me its just an eye sore😖, and it makes me feel uncomfterble. So i only use walk or run but i will not be trotting, unless they fix this major detail. So please tell me im not the only one who see this issue and cant stand it? And wants this traction detail fixed?i just hate seeing looking like its trotting on ice, i hate it. 😩

Same, seems to be the same issue with Eternity Isle monkeys when they spawn in a tight space. Here, it's a narrow path/corridor. https://youtu.be/x7Rv6lmvMyE

Baby Pegasus doesn't show up after putting it into a companion house (In Wishblossom Mountains)

Issue: No companion has given a single bonus item from the wishblossom DLC. They've given bonus dry wood or cod collected there, but no items newly added from the DLC
lean goblet
Platform: Switch
Critter: all
Issue: Memory orb drops are almost nonexistent. I have fed all critters (except the WBR ones) their liked foods as favourite food is glitched the last three days and have gotten 2 orbs in total. I think either it’s bugged or the drop rate needs to be looked into.

wispy crypt
Platform: Switch
Issue: Bees glitch if they aren’t in main area of biome. If they are in the path to Gulch or Tigger puzzle area. You chase them and then on the 3rd time when they should let you approach, they disappear and respawn.

wheat socket

The fishing type companions aren’t picking up anything
spring canyon

It says the yellow goose is available 7am - 8am, but I saw it around 7:30 PM. I was wondering if this is a typo. Thanks

lean goblet

Critter: all
Issue: Memory orb drops are almost nonexistent. I have fed all critters (except the WBR ones) their liked foods as favourite food is glitched the last three days and have gotten 2 orbs in total. I think either it’s bugged or the drop rate needs to be looked into. Update 29/11/2025: Still an issue. I’ve tried liked food and favourite food this week and am getting nothing in return.
knotty mesa
PC/Steam
Pink Sweet Bee is impossible to feed: it keeps on teleporting and restarting the chase. This happens where Tigger's matching game is.
drowsy oasis
The critters that state they pick up herbs and spices - do not pick up herbs and spices. Unlike the critters who pick flowers without issue, the critters designated for herbs and spices just ignore them all together.
obsidian crescent
Platform: steam
Can't find my golden goose, I struggle to get it in the morning as that's when I leave for work but I'd heard you can get it in the evening. I've never been able to find it in my delver dale. Can it spawn anywhere else? Otherwise I'm wondering if mine is glitched as I've never seen it
hollow snow
Platform: Steam
I saw that Effie had answered this. But I’m having no luck finding the Golden Goose at the time stated nor the between 7pm and 8pm. I’ve tried all the suggested things like restarting my game. Double check my steam deck clock, teleported to the valley. Went back to wishing way and then walked, run and rode into delver dale. Have checked around the Wishing Alps. But so far nothing. Looks like it might be a glitch? I have the other geese.
brazen bridge
Platform: PS5
With assigned character companion finding extra items, critter companions aren’t picking up the extra and only +1. One example is Moana with fishing usually drops +4 or +9 but the critter companions only pick up +1 that she dropped
crude fox
Platform: Steam with PS5 Controller.
The wild Bees will disappear during the chase to be permitted to approach 'em to feed 'em. Same bug as with the Monkey from Eternity Isle. An issue that's still not fixed either.
unkempt notch
Platform: Steam
Carpet hasn't detected any "new" flowers, and instead reads every single flower I approach as "new" and picks it up, meaning he picks up every single flower we pass by until he's filled up my inventory with flowers. He even did this while I was talking to the Cheshire Cat. The mental image is incredibly adorable, but I know it has to be a bug.
(Pictured: Carpet caught in the act (of picking up a flower that he's not supposed to))
tiny river
Platform : Steam/PC
For some odd reason anytime I Level up my companions to level 5 and receive the red chest , I can't seem too redeem or open the chest as it starts to load open and then my whole game just freezes and crashes
