Setting up your profile

Your personal profile helps other members recognize you, see your animals and listings, and decide whether to connect. A clear name, short bio, general location, and real photo are more useful than a long introduction.

Add your profile details

1. Open your own profile and select Edit profile.
2. Enter your First name and Last name. If Creatures suggests different capitalization, turn on Display my name exactly as I enter it to keep your version.
3. Choose a unique Username with 4 to 32 characters. Start with a letter and use only letters, numbers, and hyphens. Creatures saves it in lowercase. Changing it later also changes your public profile address.

4. Write a short Bio about who you are and the animals or work people can expect to see. Select Help me write if you want a starting draft, then edit it in your own voice.
5. Under Location, search for your address. Only your city and state are shown publicly; the street address is kept private.
6. Under Links, add any website or social profiles you want visitors to see. You can enter a handle such as @harperfarms or paste a profile link. Leave services you do not use blank.

7. Select Save changes.

Add a profile photo and cover

Return to your profile after saving.

• Select the camera icon on your profile picture to open Set Profile Picture.
• Select Add cover to add the wide image across the top of your profile.

Choose a photo from your device and crop it so the important part remains clear at a small size. On a computer, you can also drag and drop, paste, or select Use your phone. A friendly, recent photo is usually more helpful than a logo on a personal profile. Use an organization profile for a farm or business brand.

What visitors see

Your profile always shows Posts, Animals, Listings, Reviews, and Reviews given. Sold, Services, and Experiences appear with activity. Genetics always appears on your own profile; visitors see it only when you have public genetics items.

Add an animal to begin filling the Animals tab: Adding an animal to Creatures.

Select Share on your own profile to copy or send your profile link. For reward details, see Referrals and promoter rewards: earn by sharing.

A personal profile is not a breeder-directory listing. If you run a farm, breeding program, rescue, club, or business, see Creating an organization and adding your team. Then see Getting listed in the breeder directory if you want a breeding organization to be discoverable there.
