The only food that doesn't spoil are Tallbird Eggs, Mandrakes, Deerclops Eyeballs, and Guardian's Horn.

Remember that food spoils, so gather food only if you're running low.

When the animal stays still for a few seconds as if frightened, kill it with your Axe to get its meat.

To get the meat, drag the Rabbit or Frog icon in your belt to the ground.

The Trap shakes if there's something caught in it, and you can simply pick it up to gather both the Trap and the animal inside.

Just leave the Trap and carry on with gathering materials, but be sure to check if you've caught anything. Place the Trap over a rabbit hole to trap Rabbits or near a pond for Frogs.

Make a Trap out of 6 Cut Grass and 2 Twigs.
