Common questions
Does the game run while it's closed?
Yes. The warren runs in real time. A pregnancy takes 6 hours, kits stay in the nest for 3 hours, wean at a day and are grown at 3 days. When you come back, the game works out what happened while you were away and shows you a report.
Can my rabbits die?
Not in Gentle mode, which is the default. In the optional Classic mode, a rabbit with an untreated illness can die. You can change the mode in Settings.
What do the question marks on a rabbit's genes mean?
A gene you can't see yet. Some genes hide behind others, so a rabbit can carry one without showing it. A litter often gives it away: if two chestnut rabbits have a blue kit, they must both carry dilute. The Reading a litter guide and the Coat Lab explain it with live rabbits.
Why didn't my litter come out the way the predictor said?
The pairing predictor only uses what you know. Where a gene is still a "?", it guesses from how common each version is, so a hidden gene can surprise you. That's the fun of it, and each surprise teaches you something about the parents.
How do I get the expansions?
With carrots, the coins you earn in the game by finding homes for rabbits, commissions, shows, wool and visitors. Open the Store from the bottom bar. There are no in-app purchases in this version.
Will I lose my warren if I delete the app?
Yes. Your warren is saved on your phone only; there's no cloud save. Your phone's own iCloud backup may include it. New game in the title screen asks before it starts over.
Does the game need the internet?
No. It plays fully offline. If Play stats is on, anonymous statistics are sent when you're next online; see the privacy policy.
Are there ads or timers to pay past?
No ads, no energy bars, no loot boxes, and nothing to pay to speed up.
Is it on Android or iPad?
Thistledown Warren is made for iPhone. There's no date for other devices yet.
