Your White Glacier adult comes down to three things: the field you are in, the food you feed during the Kid stage, and how many care mistakes you make along the way. The Ice Field handles the first one automatically — it is where every White Glacier Tamagotchi starts. This page covers the other two, with all sixteen Ice Field adults and exactly what each one needs.

The Short Version
Three decisions, in this order:
- Field — White Glacier starts in the Ice Field. Nothing to do here.
- Food — what you feed most during the Kid stage sets your Young species.
- Care mistakes — your cumulative total across the Kid and Young stages sets which of four adults that Young becomes.
Miss any one of them and you land somewhere else entirely. The good news: Paradise shows your care mistake count in the Tama Cell view, so you are never guessing.
White Glacier Growth Chart — All Ice Field Evolutions
| Young species (diet) | Perfect care (0 + 5× maxed) | Near-perfect (0–1) | Moderate (2–5) | Heavy neglect (6+) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roar Young — Frozen Meat | Okojotchi | Wolftchi | Polakumatchi | Azaratchi |
| Glide Young — Northern Seafood | Icy Irukatchi | Ginjirotchi | Rakkotchi | Hoppentchi |
| Toddle Young — Red Berries | Lemmingtchi | Moosetchi | Raichotchi | Yukiusatchi |
| Float Young — mixed / default pellets | Nerinetchi | Dangouotchi | Yaytytchi | Yukiraratchi |
Secret character — Hobohorntchi. Connect your White Glacier to two different version colours while your Tamagotchi is in the Young stage. A Frozen Float Young does not qualify — you must be on the Roar, Glide or Toddle line.
Ice characters have a 30% sickness rate after a qualifying care mistake, slightly gentler than the 35% on the original 2025 shells.
Ice Field Food Chart — What Triggers Each Young
You only need one icon of the target food type in your Tama Cell, with more of that type than any other. Feed a few of what you want, get the icon, then switch to cheap default pellets to save Gotchi Points.
| Food type | Foods that give it | → Young species |
|---|---|---|
| Frozen Meat | Frozen Meat, Canned Meat, Beef Stroganoff | Roar Young |
| Northern Seafood | Northern Seafood, Salmon Roe, Blinis | Glide Young |
| Red Berries | Beets, Red Berries, Borscht, Hot Tea with Jam | Toddle Young |
| None / mixed | Default pellets, or equal amounts of each | Float Young |
If no single food type dominates at the moment of evolution, you get Float Young by default. That is the one to aim for if you actually want a Float adult — and the one to avoid if you do not, since it is easy to land on by accident.
How Long Each Stage Takes
| Transition | How long | What decides it |
|---|---|---|
| Baby → Kid | 15 min per Field Cell, 4 matching cells needed | Which field you are in |
| Kid → Young | 24–28 hours | Dominant food type |
| Young → Adult | ~24 hours | Cumulative care mistakes |
If you miss or ignore the prompt to evolve Babymarutchi, the field cells it gained disappear. After 3–4 hours the evolution triggers automatically, so do not count on stalling.
Care Mistakes on White Glacier
A care mistake is logged when a meter hits zero, the attention beep sounds, and you leave it for 15 full minutes. Mistakes are cumulative from the Kid stage onward — two as a Kid plus one as a Young is three total, and three is what the game checks at the adult transition.
For a perfect-care adult you need both: zero care mistakes, and Hunger maxed at least 5 times and Happy maxed at least 5 times during the Young stage. Zero mistakes alone will not do it. This trips up more players than any other rule in the game.
Sickness: after a care mistake there is a 30% chance of illness on Ice characters when your mistake count is not divisible by 2 or 3 — so mistakes 1, 5 and 7 are the risky ones. Six dark poops left on screen can also trigger it. Five illnesses in a single stage means death.
The Vitamin cell: eating Cheerful Popcorn guarantees a Vitamin cell, and Random Jelly or Random Boba can grant one. A Vitamin prevents a single sickness, then disappears.
The Golden Peach — undoing a care mistake
White Glacier and Orange Tropics introduced the Golden Peach, earned as a prize from a perfect nine-egg Egg Hunt. Feeding one to your Tamagotchi erases one care mistake.
This is the first time in the franchise that a care mistake can be reversed, and it changes how you play a perfect run. A single slip on day one used to end the attempt. Now it is recoverable.
And here is the part that matters: a perfect nine-egg hunt is only about a 10% chance on the 2025 shells — but 50% on White Glacier and Orange Tropics, provided your current Tamagotchi is in the party with full happiness. The 2026 shells make Golden Peaches roughly five times easier to earn, which is the strongest single reason to own one.
See the Egg Hunt Guide for how to maximise your haul.
Which Fields You Get on White Glacier
| Order | Field | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Ice Field | Exclusive to the 2026 shells |
| Unlock 1 | Forest Field | The same roster as Jade Forest |
| Unlock 2 | Tropical Field | Shared with Orange Tropics |
White Glacier does not include the Land, Water or Sky fields at all. The classic 2025 Land-field characters — Mametchi among them — cannot be raised here. If those are what you are after, you want a 2025 shell.
Common Ways People Get the Wrong Adult
- Fed a mix during the Kid stage. Any ambiguity defaults you to Float Young. Commit to one food type.
- Counted mistakes from the Young stage only. They are cumulative from Kid. Check the Tama Cell view.
- Hit zero mistakes but skipped the meter requirement. Perfect care needs 5× maxed on both Hunger and Happy during Young.
- Tried for Hobohorntchi on a Float Young. It does not qualify. Roar, Glide or Toddle only.
- Connected to the same colour twice. Hobohorntchi needs two different version colours.
