i did everything to get the carrot and thought he might use it on one of the girls, so i clicked on it and he just ate it. now i need it for the bunny and i cant get a new one and i overwrote my save from before so i cant even go back. i just have to brute force the battle i guess. i dont know if its a single opportunity item on purpose so youre screwed if you mess it up, but it would be a quality of life update to add that you can grow another or something
edited in: i just finally finished it without the carrot, so it is doable, i still think making the carrot respawn would be nice though
