The normal version of an animal will always give you their common item with a chance of a rare item as well. The HQ variety will always give you the rare item with a chance of the common item.

That's what I do.
I've read on the Forum that feeding the Animals isn't necessary. The give Loot anyway.
If that's true I do not have to farm Food for them. Time saved.
I'll take the Loot they are giving and slowly but surley I will get the Mount. Mission accomplished.

I saw a post awhile back about an animal that was super angry and left the pasture. I've only seen that one post, and I can't find it again, so maybe someone else can chime in here on whether or not that's how it works. Also, I'm not positive if angry/unhappy will always give at least one item...I've not read up on that, so I'll fix my first post just to account for that unknown.

Not sure why you'd not want to make food for them, considering how easy it is to get excess. Assuming you have the farm maxed out, you have 4 rows of 5 crops that can be made. If you have the pen maxed out, you have 20 animals. You only need to feed them the best food once a day, with the cheapest food made with apples the other time of the same day. It takes 2 days for the seeds to grow, and you need 2 of 2 different crops to make the best food (you can use the easiest seeds to gain for this).

Assuming you use 2 rows for one seed and 2 rows for another, you have 50 of both crops every 2 days. Should you only want to use 40 of each, you'll make 20 of the food, multiplied by the 3 you get for each craft. You're getting 60 of the best food every 2 days, and you only need to feed that best food to the pets once a day. You're making 60 of the food every 2 days, and only using 40 of it. By the end of 10 days, you have 100 of the food in excess. You're working at a massive gain here, there's no point NOT to do it, you're not really going to run out of supplies for it.
