Quick answer
Start with a Bunny, an Old Taming Flute and a carrot. It is a simple target for learning the minigame before spending food on animals with multiple stages.
Requirements
Obtain the flute and carry a carrot. Both community references list the starter flute and one stage for the Bunny.
Steps
- Find a Bunny and use the flute on it.
- Keep the red bar inside the light-green area: press to raise it and release to lower it.
- After completing the minigame, give it the requested carrot.
- Check that the taming indicator becomes a heart.
- Use Follow to bring it along or Sit to keep it stationary.
Avoid losing your attempt
Do not switch to another animal during taming: doing so resets the first animal's progress. Do not attempt to tame the Deer; both references agree it cannot be tamed.
Practical decision
Editorial advice: bring food before starting and finish one target per trip. In a team, agree on who tends camp; solo, preserve fuel before practicing.
Success check and checklist
Check for the heart and pet controls. Before repeating: flute, food, room for another pet and a supplied camp. Do not apply the Bunny's recipe to other species.
