I'm really struggling to spot critters to get a plate of bamboo in my garden. I'm not a very fast or competitive fairy/person. I find water fights stressful so on the whole I try to avoid them and play 'slow'. But I would like to progress through the quests and attract some Pandas. I know that we all play differently. I just want to suggest an option to buy bamboo food - like we can for the other wildlife critters in the main Levels 1-10 and 11 .
Thank you for considering my suggestion :)

Nicki if you have a fairy friend who can help you then you really only need for them to have a bamboo plant in their garden and something black and white come. Like a skunk or my favourite the raccoon as it eats berries that are free mostly.  Unless you don't have many berries but it will eat anything at all.  Remember to have some Full Grown bamboo in both your and their garden and it will drop 5 feeds of bamboo on your empty platter. Its not ideal but its a way to get some bamboo to help you get started.

Thanks for the suggestion Cat. I had a couple of fairy friends but they don't play anymore. I don't think most 'slower' players consider putting bamboo out when they attract black and white critters. I don't know it was possible until I read the forum post about attracting the Pandas and Gorillas and then I didn't know how to find those gardens. I saw someone else has suggested a separate section for advertising bamboo-dropping gardens which might help. Maybe Mike will consider it. There's so many people needing them to test vases at the moment - gardens are just drenched!

Sorry Catherine, called you by your fairy name!

Nicki - the great thing about Fairyland is we fairies are generous  helpers.
If you find a garden hosting black and white you could always ask them if they are interested in helping
And usually you can find a few who are :)
Good luck
