Do some pets hunt for food

[dextster]

Do animals like wargs hunt for food or do you have to get it for them?

Wolves and wargs will hunt for food if none is available. They sometimes hunt if it is available too.

yeah predetor animals will hunt for food if they are not hold in a zone.



animals that eat grass etc. will also search for food they like.

Be careful when allowing your domesticated animals unrestricted access to the map. Wild predators may see your animals as prey, including your domesticated predators.
I always create animal zones, including a grazing/hunting pasture that will allow them limited free range over a large area, but one I can keep a good eye on.
Any wild predator that nears the pasture will get a hunt bill set to them. Better to kill them, than have them attack my animals, or worse, go mad and then try to kill my pawns.

I had a warg, hunting his own food all the time..yesterday he died, killed by a turtle.

No joke, true story lol

If you want them to hunt for you, you can use this mod. Otherwise, only the animals that hunt for themselves will hunt (wargs and the like).

Nearly every predator animal will hunt for you. Wargs, wolves, foxes, panthers, bears, lynx, cougars, hell even cats and yorkies will hunt for you (albeit just rats). You just have no say in the matter on what and when they hunt. But they will often target something smaller.

It had to be an oversight from your side - if you properly manage hunting, it is pretty much impossible to lose pawn from a turtle, as you would retreat if it was near. Worth noting is that shotguns are not that good for hunting - sure, they pack a punch, but they are close range weapons. Personally I have no problems dealing with all menagerie of the Rim (except Thrumbo and some modded stuff)
