I have been seeing a lot of tickets with hunger issues, and not eating breedables.
First off here is a chart you can remember as to how many breedable foods you can go through with x amount of breedables
1 Breedable~ 1 food/4 weeks
2 Breedable ~ 1 food/2 weeks
4 Breedable ~ 1 food/7 days
7 Breedable ~ 1 food/4 days
8 Breedable ~ 2 food/7 days
14 Breedable ~ 1 food/2 days
28 Breedable ~ 1 food/day
56 Breedable ~ 2 food/day
84 Breedable ~ 3 food/day
112 Breedable ~ 4 food/day
Two of the most important consumables:
Breedable & Pet Food :
Breeder Food- Is for horses / k-9s / birds that you wish to breed once they reach 7 days old.
Pet Food- Is to be used when you do not wish to breed your horses /k-9’s /birds. If you decide to breed them after feeding them Pet Food, it will take 7 days on Breeder Food for the effects of the Pet Food to wear off.
Using Food:
1. Rez the food/water within your breedables set range. (A breedable’s default range is 5 meters)
2. Can click the food/water to change options and see remaining %. Options include Owner only, Group only, and All.
A.Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners breedable.
B.Group only: Will only be consumed by breedables in the same group as the food/water is set to.
C.All: Any breedable within range of the food/water will be able to consume it.
Once the food/water has been completely consumed it will disappear.
In case your breedable get hungry:
1. Re-rez fixes 99% of the issues.
2. If the land is set to a group, are the breedables and food set to that group? Some sims have it set that no scripts can run unless they are set to the right group as the land.
3. If the land isn’t set to a group, are the breedables and food set to the same group as each other? So often the food is in one group and the breedable in another. The food is set to feed only those in the same group and before you know it you have sick breedables
4. Check to see if the breedable is set to the type of food out (more stats)
5. Re-set home position.
6. Sometimes giving them a Horsey Snack for horses, K-9 Treat for K-9s, will help them start to eat so you may also want to try this. Remember your breedables only eat once every 43 minutes so you may not notice a change immediately, be patient it takes 3 days for a breedable to reach 100% hunger.
If your breedable still doesn’t eat after trying this, you will need to file a support ticket. Please include a location URL, so that we can come out and see them, in world. Please make sure that we have permission to come on the land.
Remember if you put a breedable in your inventory it will get hungry.
Your Breedable will eat once every hour. If food is not present their hunger and thirst will rise until it reaches 100% at which time they will get sick, this will take 3 days
.
A Healing Kit for horses, Vaccination for K-9s and Flu Shot for Birds can be used to Heal your Breedable or they will eat their way out of sickness, horses and k-9s in approximately 3 days and barnyard birds take 4 days
To use a Healing kit / vaccination/ flu shot, simply rezz the item nearby your sick horse/ K-9,/bird click your breedable select consumables and select Healing Kit/ Vaccination/ Flu Shot Before your eyes your Breedable will go from green back to perfect health.
