New trainable animals?

Can anyone confirm that anything other than dogs are trainable in the new version (without modding)? I looked through the raws, and there's still no [TRAINABLE] flag on any other critters.

Catch a live land animal

What does this command actually do? I tried it with an animal trainer (no hunters) and he didn't seem to do anything. Is the only way to catch wild animals for taming using cage traps, or can a hunter (or for example wrestlers) knock out animals in melee and catch them that way? Or does the animal trainer play any part here?

It is a command that makes a trapper use an animal trap to catch vermin.--Varsashi 18:42, 27 November 2007 (EST)

Ah, I see, so the only way to actually catch tamable deer/foxes/elephants etc. is to spam cage traps on the landscape and hope that they run into them? Jimphraxia 20:01, 27 November 2007 (EST)

Well, you can use walls to funnel them into the traps. That's actually the way it was more or less done in 2D DF, except channels were used to force them through the cage traps. You CAN spam the traps on the landscape, of course. -Kefkakrazy 01:11, 28 November 2007 (EST)

Taming Vermin

The article states that it is impossible to train vermin caught through the "Capture Live Land Animal" order. This is false. I've upwards of ten tamed rats sitting around in traps.

what is the point of Taming Vermin? Hoborobo 08:22, 10 August 2008 (EDT)
Dwarves can then have them as a pet I believe. --Bombcar 01:50, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

Small Animal Dissection

Is this really done here? The page states Butcher's shop. Coleste 02:23, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Read again - the labor is used solely at a butcher's shop, but the skill can be used to construct a kennel. (I know, and I agree...) :/ --Albedo 02:56, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Tame a Large Land Animal

While low on food supplies, I attempted to tame a captured Macaque and Groundhog... but the job was cancelled, citing that there was no food to give. As there was nothing on the main article about this I thought I'd leave this here for someone who knows more about it than I do to explore and explain (for instance, if there's a particular type of food they will exclusively accept).

Availabilty

I tested this last night, before you train a hunting or war dog it must not be "unavailable" in the animal status menu, otherwise the job will cancel. unsigned comment by Enjia2000

I've trained dozens of war dogs without ever making them available for adoption, so you're probably doing something wrong. Do you have them chained or caged? --Quietust 22:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
