Happy Sunday everyone! Who is ready for a new week!? I am and I wanted to start your week off with some help with one of the most common questions I see in the Amaretto groups. “Help my breedable isn’t eating!” There are quite a few things you can try to get your breedable eating again but remember if all else fails you can always file a ticket on the Amaretto Support site and have a CSR help you look into it.
1st lets talk a little about the food for your breedables. Breeder Food is for Horses, K-9’s or Barnyard Birds that you want to breed once they reach 7 days old. Pet food is used when you do not wish to breed your animal. If you decide later that you do wish to breed them it will take 7 days of them eating Breeder food for the Pet food to wear off.
Using Food:
1. Rez the Food (Breeder or Pet) within your breedables set range. (A breedable’s default range is 5 meters)
2. You can click the Food 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 has been completely consumed it will disappear.
In case your breedable gets 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, then check that the breedables and food are 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 (You can check this in their 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.
7. With Horses you can also try riding them if they are old enough.
*****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% (or in the case of the Barnyard Birds until it reaches 0%) 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 or Flu shot, simply rez the item nearby your sick Horse, K-9, or Barnyard Bird click your breedable select consumables and select Healing Kit, Vaccination or Flu Shot. Before your eyes your Breedable will go from green back to perfect health.
So there you have it all you need to know if your breedable starts to become sick.
Happy Breeding & Feeding!!
Until next time….
