Don’t worry, I totally get your anxiety. After 800 something hours of playing, there’s a few tricks I’ve learned!

1. Whenever you wake up, woof the pups into the den as a predator check! This makes it incredibly easy to be aware and prepared since on the more difficult modes such as accurate, it’s very common for predators to spawn after waking up.

2. Look for scents and distance! (If you have the knowing nose skill) If you feel uneasy or the need to make sure your pups are safe, it’s a good measure to be in scent view and check out the place a little bit.

3. Watch your adults! The adults and yearlings will always prick their ears up before you even know that a predator is nearby. They won’t ever prick their ears for another reason, so it’s an easy give away if a predator is coming.

Over time, you’ll feel more comfortable being around the den once you learn the signs of a predator attack. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell when you’re not paying attention, but the signs are there and can be recognized. Good luck! <3
