How to look after a baby unicorn

Have you just been given a baby unicorn to look after? Are you wondering how on earth you will manage to take good care of such a precious creature? Fear not. Read these instructions and you will be able to enjoy your pet and have the pleasure of watching it develop healthily.

What you need: living quarters, a soft blanket, shade, water bowl and edible flowers, grass and leaves, plenty of kindness.

What to do:

First, create an enclosed space where your pet will be happy so that it cannot escape and get into danger.

Next, provide a soft blanket for your unicorn to sleep on and make sure there is a shaded area, preferably with leaves as unicorns live in forests.

Then, talk to your unicorn and stroke it gently since they like nothing more than human contact.

Also, provide regular water because unicorns become thirsty. They also need fresh leaves, grass and edible flowers as a basic diet. This will result in a healthy unicorn.

After that, exercise your pet daily by taking it outside to trot around. However, be very careful that there are no dogs or cats around that might result in your baby unicorn becoming afraid.

Later on, make the time to play with your baby unicorn otherwise it might pine away.

Finally, sing to your pet and play the radio quietly because unicorns like music. If you are lucky, your pet may dance for you!

Unicorns make wonderful pets but eventually will outgrow any house. Consequently, you will have to release your pet into the wild. This will be a sad day but if you have treated it well then it will return. Unicorns are faithful to those who treat them kindly.
