Apples are high in protein - if your creature is complaining from a lack of this, it would be wise to feed it one . . . unless it's a Toxic Norn, of course! Those are better suited to eating the leftover apple cores. I should note that I've experienced a bug in Creatures 3, where if I pick the apples off the tree (instead of letting them fall) the apples stop growing for some reason - it may be just me, but I thought I would throw the precaution out there. --Gryph The critter at the bottom of the picture is a woodpigeon.
