What happens if I stop petting my animals in Stardew Valley?

If you stop petting your animals in Stardew Valley, their friendship level will slowly decrease over time, leading to lower-quality products (like smaller eggs or less milk) until you pet them again, but this decay is slow, especially if they eat grass outside, allowing you to skip days once they reach 5 hearts for better produce. The < can prevent this friendship loss without needing manual petting, though it gives fewer friendship points than petting by hand.

What happens if you stop petting animals in Stardew Valley?

Not petting a farm animal loses 10 out of 1000 points, minus one for each 200 points that they currently have. (where 200 points = 1 heart) At 5 hearts, petting them every fourth day is enough on its own. If they're above 2 hearts, they gain more from eating grass (8 points) than they lose from not being petted.

Do I need to pet my animals every day in Stardew Valley?

What happens if I allow pregnancy in Stardew Valley?

Do I have to keep my animals fenced in Stardew Valley?

I haven't fenced my animals in years, and I've never had to "wander the entire farm" to find truffles. You can build fences if you want to; it's your game and your design. They definitely are not necessary, though, not even to keep truffles confined to a smaller space.
