It took me a while to figure out how to approach the critters, but once you get the second action button and start feeding the thing, after the second or third click, you get attacked by a razorwing and the critter despawns before you can fill the bar.
I tried about 10 times and still at 0/6.
Abandoned.
Yeah that happened way too many times as well.
I think I tried feeding about 14 critters before I was able to complete this quest. Annoying hey?
At least killing the razorwings adds to the bar for the critters.
A lot of good that does when the critter despawns as soon as you kill the razorwing. 
Yes I know. The critters are on a short timer and vanish way too many times.
You got two choices, keep trying or ignore it.
Korthia quests were like a challenge to create worst quests possible. Every week there’s a new worst one, like literally fire and blacklist people who designed them.
Going to post this in every one of these threads about this stupid quest.
First you have to get one without scaring it off by getting too close. Secondly, you then have to worry about another player scaring it off. Once you actually start feeding it, you then have to deal with a razorwing attacking you (sometimes EVERY TIME you feed it!) and get the razorwing killed before the critter loses interest OR just completely bugs out and you have to start all over. Quest took me over an hour to finish and that’s for a daily quest. Such a terrible, terrible quest.
I was very glad the reward was 7 anima tokens so I could drop it without feeling like I was missing out.
Don’t move while you’re fighting the birdies.
The only way to do this quest. Actually the best way to play this expansion as well.
Ok here’s how you do it.
Grab a critter treat and the put the circle as far out as you can. That’s how close you can get without spooking it. DO not throw it on the critter, throw it to the side. Then you may approach and attempt to cram as many treats into that thing as possible for the love to take effect. Kill the starving monsters who also want food and can’t help it if they are not cute…cause we don’t feed non-cute things here.
Continue this until quest is done.
Ion will come online and say “We’ve seen that players have spent quite a bit of time on the quest “Think Of The Critters” since this extended player engagement on the quest it is clear that people must enjoy it so we will be creating 10 daily quests that operate on the same format as this quest”
