Setting up your profile
Your personal profile tells other members who you are and shows your animals and listings. To set it up, select Edit profile on your profile to add your name, bio, location and links, then add a photo and a cover.
A real name, a short bio and a friendly photo help people trust you before they message you or buy.
Add your details
- Select your picture at the top of any page, then My profile.
- Select Edit profile to open Edit your profile.
- Enter your First name and Last name. If Creatures would change the capitals, it shows Displayed as: under the box and a Display my name exactly as I enter it option. Turn it on to keep your name as you typed it.
- Check your Username. It must start with a letter and use 4 to 32 English letters, numbers or hyphens. Your profile link will be: shows your web address as you type.
Changing your username changes your profile link right away. Old links you shared stop working.
- Write a short Bio about you and your animals. Select Help me write for a starting draft, then edit it in your own voice.
- Under Location, search for your address. It's optional. Others see only your city and state.
- Under Links, add your Website and any social profiles, such as Facebook or Instagram. Type a handle like @cedarhollowfarm or paste a link. Typed a page name with spaces? Select Use this to take the suggested link without spaces.
- Select Save changes.
If Creatures can't read one of your links, it saves everything else and tells you which link it left out.
Add a photo and a cover
On your profile, select your profile picture or the camera on it to open Set profile picture. Select Add cover (or Edit cover) on the wide banner at the top to open Set profile cover. On a phone, the cover button is a small camera in the banner's corner.
On a brand-new profile, with no animals or organizations yet, Add cover is in the ... menu next to Edit profile instead. The same menu has Add organization, Website and Share profile, plus Verify ID and Verify phone until you finish them.
For your picture, pick a clear, recent photo and crop it close on your face. On a computer, you can browse, drag a photo in, paste one, or choose Use your phone. On a phone, tap to pick a photo or choose Take a photo.
For your cover, upload a wide photo, or pick a color under Choose a color cover: Sky, Ocean, Meadow, Dawn, Dusk or Sand. Then select Save color cover. If your cover is a photo now, the button reads Replace cover photo with color. Your photo stays saved.
Share your profile
Select Share next to Edit profile. On a new profile, use Share profile in the menu. The Share & Earn window shows your profile link with buttons to copy it, post it on X or Facebook, or share it. You may earn a reward when someone buys after using your link. See Referrals and promoter rewards: earn by sharing.
What visitors see
Your profile always shows Posts, Animals, Listings, Reviews and Reviews given. Sold, Services and Experiences appear once you have that activity. You always see Genetics on your own profile, but visitors see it only when you have public genetics items.
To fill your Animals tab, see Adding an animal to Creatures.
A personal profile is just you. If you run a farm, breeding program, rescue or animal business, create an organization for it. An organization is a shared profile your team can help run. Breeder, farm and ranch organizations can appear in the breeder directory.
