Help Taming Wolves

[hammer]

I've set the snares and caught some wolves but they won't eat. They just ask for more carcasses to feed and won't. I've left them alone in case it's a time thing but half a day has gone by and their taming percentage hasn't moved.

I found sometimes the wolves' ai gets stuck and it wont eat. There are 2 solutions : either make more wolf bait and re-bait the trap( an already caught wolf will still eat it) or keep aggroing it and then getting out of range and it will sometimes get it unstuck.

once tamed what do we feed them? do I need a trough of meat or do I cook the meat or dry it on the rack? horses eat the veggies but the wolves do I drop carcasses after tamed?

The wolves will eat anything. They even eat veggies out of the food trough. But you can stick meat in there, or hand feed them meat if you want.

so i had the same problem for a few days now with the wolf didnt want to eat.
what i found always work was, just sneak behind the captured wolf and dont put carcass, instead put another bait on the snare. they will eat the bait and the taming progress bar will continue.
hope this helps and sorry for my english

Definitely seems to be an issue for some. I leave the carcass as instructed, and even waiting several minutes the wolf eat nothing. The carcass even despawns.

I had no problems with one of the wolves I was taming. But the second one would eat nothing except wolf bait that I put in the trap. Was frustrating

It might be the wolf is stuck on some sort of loop as all it does is spin and look around.

tamed wolf doesnt eat carcasses anymore, only food, meat from hand by right clicking on him or from trough

Have 11 wolves trained but sometimes the timer will stall out around %30 - %50 with no way to restart the training. Is this common??

I've never had it happen.

I've accidentally shot wolves that were trapped. I've had them attacked and killed after being tamed and I didn't release them in time. I do feel like I've had a couple despawn when I moved away from the area, but I don't know for sure that's what happened.

I've tamed about 10 wolves. I've had 4 of them disappear after being leveled up to 25. I had a couple die in the arctic to polar bears when they got stuck trying to follow me and I didn't go back and retrieve them in time (I hoped they would teleport to my position while I kept going).

I just use the wolf bait as food. They're pretty easy to make. As soon as the food sign goes up over their heads I move over to the trap and reset the bait when they're done eating. Usually it takes 3 baits for them to be fully tamed. I also shoot other predators who come towards the trap so they don't eat the food intended for the trapped wolf. It's a mildly high maintenance process, but it ensures it gets done. It's a hassle waiting for a wolf (or boar or hyena) to set off the trap, so once they do I like to make sure they go through the training process fully.

I usually travel with a pack of 6 animals - 2 wolves, 2 hyenas, and 2 boars. I'll often have one or two leveling up, and the other 4 max level. Until they're about level 12 or so I keep them in defensive posture. By then they have the 4 points in health maxed, maxed physical resistance, and maxed out restore health upon killing. Just running around the map tends to level them up quickly, and also helps with whatever mounts you're using, too. Once you get past 40 leveling mounts is a pain in the wazoo. The vapor condenser is another way to level up your animals, but I don't run that much.

another post mentioned that re-baiting the trap will restart the training timer. works every time. I would never have guessed. Thanks
