"Pasture pets" ''do'' get hungry. Contact with the owner does not per se feed them. They don't seek out a pasture on their own. They might be feeding on grass whenever they follow their owner outside. No "feed" job observed so far. Cats appear to cause 'give water' jobs occasionally that are executed by a random dwarf, not the owner. Research ongoing. --[[User:Old Ancient|Old Ancient]] 19:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC) | "Pasture pets" ''do'' get hungry. Contact with the owner does not per se feed them.

I've modded my game to allow gremlins as standard pets, and what I'm seeing with them is that while stray adults and children will feed and water themselves, baby gremlins will not, and will dehydrate to death if they're not adopted. If they are adopted, though, they grow up just fine, which suggests that they're being taken care of by their dwarf. My bet is that the code for caring for pets already exists, and the problem is actually that there's nothing recognized as suitable food for grazers besides grass, which the dwarves can't gather. (Perhaps try modding elephants to explicitly eat plump helmets, like how pandas eat bamboo, and see what happens?)
