Later on you will require food to heal your pet
Pets are not the same as summoning familiars.

*note: Make sure you do not have a summoning familiar out when you try and put down a captured pet from your bolt pouch, or it will not spawn and visa versa.


Obtaining pets:
One off pets (or rare drops) -
As you PVM around Forgotten Paradise, you will notice from time to time a message popup in chat "you have a strange feeling you are being followed." that indicates that you have just received a one off pet as a rare drop, it will automatically be following you around until you right-click on it and pick it up to your inventory.
or
you may also see this message - "your name" has captured the monster:" name of NPC" this indicates that you have just captured a pet, and it will be automatically placed in your bolt pouch for later use.

Pet shop owner and Skilling shops -
The Pet shop owner can be found in the building north of Edgeville bank.
Right click and "talk to" to open the pet shop, a small variety of pets can be found here

Various skilling shops like slayer master rewards and daily task trader shop and dungoneering shop also contain some various pets you can earn.

Bird's nest (egg) -
A bird nest with an egg can be dropped when woodcutting most types of trees as a rare drop.
The bird nest will contain one of the following eggs, red, blue, or green bird's egg, and also provide an empty nest when picked up and clicked. You will get a message in the chat box stating, "A bird's nest falls out of the tree."
The nest is dropped on the ground and will despawn after 30 seconds if not picked up.
To hatch the egg into a pet, you must place the egg in the incubator (located in the building north of edge bank) and check with the pet shop owner.
Normally, it takes 48 hours of play time for the egg to hatch,
However, you can speed this up by purchasing an egg growth potion for 6 donator points and cut the wait time in half.
