Tamagotchi Pix Refuses to Eat Certain Snacks

[decepticoncrown]

Hey there, I'm three generations into my Pix and I have accumulated several food items that no one wants to eat. These aren't meals but snacks, so I know this isn't motivated by the Tama not being hungry.

They won't eat these:

-Candy Apple
-Nata De Coco
-Fruit Tart
-Chocolate Cake

I can't seem to figure out what the issue here is. Any help would be appreciated.

The tama not being hungry could actually be the reason they're not eating these snacks. I've noticed that some snacks require your hunger meter to not be full while others don't (like the honey toast at the restaurant). I'm not sure if these snacks fall in that category, but it might be worth trying to feed them on low hunger if you haven't already. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the issue could be...

Yes, those snacks do fall into the category of filling both hungry and happy meters! It's really annoying that the instruction manual doesn't mention this, and that there's no way to tell those snacks apart from the happy-only ones...

Thanks for the information everyone! In hindsight this makes sense, but I figured all the snacks worked like the lollipops or fruit.

General rule of thumb (but not 100%), if the food appears as something filling…like an entire cake…you need to have a hungry meter down and I believe fill one node. Drinks such as soda and smoothies do not seem to affect hungry status. Small candy like snacks also seem to not affect it.

Just take note of what works and what doesn’t, because sometimes snacks that you would think should be affected do nothing but add happy, while others that should be less filling for some reason do.
