🐉 Slime Hutch

The Slime Hutch is a special farm building in Stardew Valley that allows players to raise Slimes. Inside, players can hatch Slime Eggs or breed wild Slimes to create their own colony. Slimes will attack the player unless equipped with a Slime Charmer Ring. When fully stocked, a Slime Hutch can house up to 20 Slimes.
