GuiterRocker1 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 So, I've spent the better part of the last week learning about the joys of taming Troodons. I've been psyched for these guys since they were announced and have gone through all the frustrations and elations of taming a breeding pair. However, the victory was short lived as I watched my newly hatched baby Troodons die before my eyes...all 3 of them. What I don't understand is why they weren't eating when they had meat on them. I know that since patch 254 there has been some odd goings on with the babies, but none of the other baby creatures I have are doing this. I hatched another one and have had to periodically force feed it some food because it'll just stop eating. I'm wondering if anyone else has bred Troodons before and can give me some insight as to whether this is supposed to be happening or if it's just a bug and how best to proceed going forward. Unfortunately I can't force feed this little guy for 22 hours straight and no Dino deserves to starve to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishinghawk Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 should be fixed now, it seemed to just be the patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering, as it's currently the valentines event with 1/3 consumption if that's the issue? The Troodons food starts really low, between 20-40 food at a time so they may be running out of food before they realize they need to eat...I guess I will further update when the event is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClamsJager Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I had this same thing happen with a jerboa baby. wasn't that big of ma deal to me but others on my server are having no issues. I'm afraid to hatch some of the cool eggs I have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneticbits Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 It's still a bug with the troodons for sure. A tribie bred some just this morning and it wouldn't eat. A band-aid fix for until the bug is gone is to just remote use the food before it gets too low. Eventually they will eat. Also had this problem with meso monkeys...

solreaver Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It must be a bug, but I too have been raising troodons and have discovered something. There is something off with the feeding timers for baby troodons. When they hatch they will occasionally not each when the feeding interval should happen even though they have food in their inventory. They will drop to zero food and starve to death before they eat again. That said, I have found out that if you stay with them and force feed them every time this happens until their food capacity gets to around 55ish (I've been doing 60+ to be safe) then they will be fine. The timer is still off, but after their food capacity is over that 55ish mark, they eventually eat again before they die of starvation. It sucks, but you pretty much have to literally hand feed them until they are juvies and a little bit past that. After that, they are fine and will make it to adulthood without issue. I have successfully raised 6 troodons using this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
