I've got a question for you all. In Animal Crossing, what do the animals eat? I know they've got fruit and vegetables, but I've seen noodles and bowls of soup, so I wonder... do any of them eat meat... OR EACH OTHER!? Then again, that question doesn't seem as weird compared to there being literal pet hampsters and octopuses you can get and give to your villagers. Kinda reminds me of that one episode in TAWOG. (if you know you know)
