Can a Rex eat an unconscious Rex?

[Melon]

I luckily manage to knock unconscious a Rex and there is another Rex nearby, I want to know if I should stay at my Rex that I am taming in case the other one get to close and try to eat him? (I play in singleplayer so I don't need to worry about other players)

The rex won't attack the unconscious rex (nothing attacks an unconscious rex I think), but it might start fighting something else close by and your rex might get hurt by accident. I would put up some kind of wall around the rex (spikewall might be a good idea), just to ensure it doesn't get hurt by other animals fighting too close by. Just make sure you enough room between the rex and the wall so that the other rex's AoF doesn't hit through the wall.

Ok thanks for your advice I'm going to do that next time I play.

any carnivore will attack an unconscious dino

Leave the area. If no one is rendering the area then the game will not load that area (stasis) therefore nothing will spawn there to agro the wild rex and the wild rex wont attack anything.

Whenever I tame rex's (or any dino for that matter) I just knock them out, work out when I need to come back to narc them and feed them and then leave, only coming back at those times.

I've always thought that same-species wild dinos couldn't hurt each other.

And this ^

People underestimate how easy taming really is in most cases. The only time I actually babysit a dino at all is if it has high torpor drop or if it has amazing pre-tame stats.

I know I'm taming a level 12 Rex and it will take me around 1 hour and 45 minutes because I don't have anything other than meat.

Depending on where you are stegos and argens are easy to kill on foot with a bow and give prime meat.

Except entering the area triggers respawns, risking something spawning right on top of it. Stasis is your friend if you clear the area and stick around to block spawns too.

That's why you also place down a few foundations in the surrounding area before you leave. That's a no brainer ;)

Just make sure you connect the foundations into 2x1 as (I think) they changed it awhile ago that single foundations won't block respawn.

Spiked walls~

Or you might just kill the wild rex, get primes, feed the unconscious rex and party~

Not if it's a dino it would not normally attack.
I don't think anything attacks a rex.

Then the rex might've fought the carno previously. I once had a doed come and attack a raptor I had knocked out, because apparently the raptor had been fighting with the doed earlier.

Other than that, nothing attacks an unconscious rex (the animals might try to attack you and hit the rex by mistake), I even had a giga walk into my lite spikewall enclosure once and then walk out again (I had had to log out and logged in to it staring me in the face - pants needed changing after that).

I think the same goes for spino, giga and allo as these together with the rex seem to be top of the eco-system (and they never hunt each other).
