How to Get Pleep in Dinkum
Here’s how to get a Pleep or Platypus in Dinkum:
- Purchase a Handling Licence Level 3 from Fletch for 3,000 Permit Points.
- Build Erwin’s Barn in your town.
- Visit Erwin’s Barn.
- Walk up to the Pleep and hit the E key.
- Buy the Pleep for 25,000 Dinks.
- Right-click the Pleep box to pick it up.
- Left click to release the Pleep in a fenced-in area.
If you don’t yet have Erwin’s Barn Deed as an option with Fletch, you’ll need to improve your relationship with Erwin when he visits your town. Chat with him when he visits, then click the Got a job for me? option. Continue to do jobs for Erwin until his relationship gets high enough with you; then, Erwin’s Barn Deed will become available to you.
If the Pleep is not in Erwin’s Barn, wait a day and keep checking. Only two animals can show up in the cages in Erwin’s Barn, Pleeps and Vombats, so you’ll have to wait until he has a Pleep available.
