I found the best place to farm kills from critters was in the Terrorweb Tunnel in Northwestern Eastern Plaguelands. A full clear of the tunnel gave me 264 in 2 mins.

By the time I finished the tunnel and ran back through it, the ones on the front side started spawning again.

Hands down the best place to go.

I think I got a little too "Critter Happy" (;

Something worth mentioning. If you have the Toxic Wastling pet, any critter it eats counts for the Critter Kill Squad total. So if you don't want to sit and do a dedicated grind on this one, let the Wastling do the work for you! (though it will take a much much much longer time going that rout.)

Just so everyone knows, you can keep the pet if you leave your guild. It may seem obvious, but I was terrified at the prospect of losing all my guild pets when I left, and seeing it typed out in black and white would have reduced my stress significantly!

The best place I have seen to farm this would be in Northern Stranglethorn at Zul'Gurub. Go to where the snake boss use to be located. You will see massive amounts of snakes, go around killing those and they don't stop spawning. It's fantastic for grinding.

The Zul Gurub snake boss spot was definately a good area. Make sure you have 5 people in group, because that way every critter you kill counts for 5. Classwise I suggest doing it on a warlock with that hellfire-while-running spec or on a rogue, because they don't run out of power as easy as other classes.

I managed to kill about 10k critters every 45 mins in the zg area (in a 5 man group)

One important note: there is a (horde?) quest in this spot that kills everyone there :)

I likes armadillos! Soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Armadillos!

Another good spot is the spider tunnel you come to in EPL when working on Mr. Grubbs

BRIANNI! How could you call rats icky! GRRRRR! It's bad enough that there is a pest control achievement, and people already kill so many rats in WoW already, and now this!? Next thing u know, people r gonna start marching down stormwind and orgrimmar holding up signs saying: Kill the rats! "Snaps out of it" Oops, sorry about that... I like rats... Lost control.

If you want to multitask while you work on this acheivement, eat Stormchops and then go into the Deeprun Tram. You will be zapping rats left and right without pushing buttons. You can go do your laundry, cook dinner, etc. Set a timer and come back in 30 minutes and eat another stormchop. Lather, Rinse, and Repeat. A guildie found this strat on Wowhead and we have gone from 18000 to 48000 in just under 2 days (all day Sunday and Monday night). This is with 3-5 of us working on it.

I organised a guild run to do 35k of what we still needed -- done 10k myself just from testing.

This was post Uldum sheep nerf, so i tested out a few places solo to see how quickly things could be killed and respawned.

I eventually settled on the snake boss room in ZG, and we did it in a little over an hour with 5-13 people -- varied during the course of it.

Respawns were constant, and killing speed was superfast with a macro.

Update: Grouping no longer multiplies kills per critter.

After trying the epl cave, zg and the sheep and being in a semi small guild (50ish) and me being about the only pet collector in my guild, theres a sweet spot in Krasarang Wilds http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58883 (feverbite)"elite" spider that calls upon a load of critters, i used my mage kept poly on it and killed the critters, surrounding trees also have critters much better wit 2, 1 tank the spider other kill critters surrounding the tree. Only took a few hours.

i never noticed it before, but mine is also showing as an Uncommon in my pet window, though the guild vendor and website list it as rare

My armadillo pup is green, not blue, in the battlepets viewer. However, on the armory under my collection, it still shows as blue! Is this a glitch?

That cave in EP is def the best. :)

So now with patch 5.0whatever I have this pet available to me from a diff toon, opposing faction, diff server. I'm having to rethink my WHOLE strategy on pet collecting. :/

Fyi, armory update is no longer a viable way to update one's collection here :(

i find that the best place for a small guild to grind creature kills is that cave in Eastern Plague lands, right at the beginning of the aria (where the dwarf is stuck in the spider webs.) I believe Fiona sends you over there on a quest to find the dwarf.
Anyway, it's FILLED with buggies to kill. My baddie and I walked through spamming AOEs and went from 800 to 2300 in an afternoon. Another good place is the deeprun tram. the rats re-spawn really fast there.

Did some ask for a link? :) The Armadillo Pup is a exceedingly cute animal obtained through the painstaking task of killing 50,000 critters. Doing it alone in the guild makes it even more difficult for you smaller guilds. It's most definitely not impossible, though. In fact, people can do it pretty quick if you set your mind to it. Good luck, collectors!

I did this in Dragonblight at Agmar's Hammer. Just within the gates there is an area with a caged Lucid Test Subject and 4 cockroaches walking around the cage that are instant respawns. I'm a hunter so I set up a pet attack macro and just spammed mindlessly while I watched TV or a movie. Kills about 1 cockroach/second.

The best place for this is undoubtedly the Deeprun Tram. Tons of rats with a nearly instant respawn rate.

I think that the best place to do this achievement is to go th Zul Gurrub and just south of the altar where Hakkar used to be is the area where the snake boss was and the snakes there spawn lightning fast. I am able to kill hundreds of critters on my hunter.

Me and 7 other guildies farmed this last night in the Eastern Plagueland's Tunnel. Plenty...plenty of creepy crawlies to nuke there. The more people from ur guild in the party the better. So 1 critter death would equal 8 for us. It was really late at night...or rather early in the morning when we did it. I am still exhausted. Though at the time...we didn't realize we had to be exhalted to purchase it. Thwarted again by blizzard!!! *shakes fist*

Okay, there's something really wrong with having to slaughter thousands of defenseless little critters to get this adorable armadillo pup. Just wait 'til D.E.H.T.A. hears about this! I could see maybe limiting it to killing the icky critters like spiders, cockroaches and snakes. Oh, and rats and maggots! And don't forget those nasty toads that look all cute until you pick them up and they... well, you get the idea.
