my solution was 

YW1uZXNpYQ==

in base64 :3

wish there was a bit more explanation, but it was really fun!!

never figured out orange, but won anyway.

the rule for blue is such a joke.

figured out all the rules but green, more testing required.

figured out green. now to put it all together

I win!!! I wonder how many different words win.

solved it! such a cool puzzle, it was very entertaining to look for an answer :)

once i got all the conditions, it still took me some time to find a word that satisfies everyone :D

I loved it!

Are there several solutions?

yes, there are :)

i just guessed randomly lol. are there multiple valid answers?

ok checking the comments for the rules, there are several

How I play this?

Type a word. You win if all six critters like your word.

correction, type a sequence of letters

You are looking for the "word" that all of the eaters are happy to eat.
You should speculate about each picky eater's taste.

the green is SO picky

I'm having more trouble to satisfy yellow personalty

I would never imagine this word actually existed in the english dictionary!

That green one has a face that fits how particular the little bugger is.

Oooh, I win!  (Some day I hope to know what wakes up the leftmost eater.)

Very cute and clever! Figuring out the rules was enjoyable, then finding something that satisfied them took the mental efforts of my partner and I working together.

This was fun, it felt like I was lockpicking.

Here's a list of the rules in Base64:

This is my favorite way I've ever seen someone hide a spoiler.

Solved! This would be fun as a wordle like daily game!

I intuited the answer by "vibes", now to work out all the rules that underpin it!

solved it! very cute

Tantalizing, wish I had time just now to crack the code...

after playing around for a bit, all i've found out so far is the orange one wakes up with a string of 6 or 7 letters. any more or less and he falls back asleep

this is spoiler.
