I have gone through all my animals and all my foxes, bears, Llamas, horses, donkeys, and squids have all disappeared. They were all named and over half were tethered up. I spent HOURS working on bringing them to my village, building thier pens (all less than 10x10 too) and everything keeps disappearing. I've been in this world for almost 3 years now and I squid I've had for almost 2 years is now gone.... Im really disappointed and it makes me really not want to play anymore. I even went and dragged a few foxes back and within 2 days they were gone. What can I do to fix this? I thought named animals didnt despawn....
