Viva Pinata: Keeping Buzzlegums and Raisants Together

How to Stop the Bugs from Fighting

All Viva Piñata gardeners will come to the realisation sooner or later that Raisants and Buzzlegums fight like the Capulets and the Montagues: on sight and without provocation. This causes significant difficulty and expense when it comes to keeping them in the same garden. Many gardeners won't bother keeping buzzlegums with raisants in the same garden because of the hassle of constant fights, but there may be several reasons you have for keeping both of these piñata together.

You may decide that it is necessary to keep buzzlegum with raisants if you are creating a bug-themes garden, or are trying to attract a dragumfly or fizzlybear and get those species of piñata to breed. However, your piñata aren't going to be very happy if they are always fighting, and you're not going to be very happy if you're always calling out the doctor.

There are several strategies you can use to keep things peaceful between your constantly feuding raisants and buzzlegums. The fastest is to purchase some red-eye rainbows from Ivor Bargain and place them strategically around your garden so that no piñata is very far away from one. However, you might decide that having rainbows all through your garden doesn't suit your theme very well, and want a better, more aesthetically pleasing solution.

Carefully planning your garden can reduce, or even eliminate, all encounters between buzzlegums and raisants. Raisants can be confined to specific areas of your garden by fences or water, and you can place their home on the opposite end of the garden to the buzzlegum house. However, buzzlegums are not limited by fences or water because they can easily fly over them. The solution to keeping your buzzlegums where you want them is to make that area of your garden more attractive to them. Planting flowers (especially daisies and buttercups) around their home will encourage them to stay around that area, and not wander off towards raisant territory.
