Deer/ewe wont breed

[TMAN80SS]

I have currently had a deer and an ewe in the same enclosed pen with ample food supple and fine cloth bedding and the still wont mate!!!! It has been 5 years and nothing. Are there any special situations that need to be achived to breed?

Try installing a red standing lamp. That should get them going.

Red ?

Hmm... smells like breeding is more difficult than expected

[skullywag]

Are any of them injured? I dont think it matters but ive had a female dog who would never get pregant with a missing eye yet others around her were constantly getting pregnant. Just a wild stab in the dark.

Some animals just mate less frequently than others. Mufallos mate rarely, pigs very often. You may need to have more than a single pair for reliable results. I suspect more males will mean more pregnancies.

Actually the reverse is true with the animals, one male, multiple females, and you will have babies all over the place.

Ehh... idk about that, i feel like in this game the more males you have the bigger the chance one of them decides ''lets have babies''.

On the otherhand, females are generally more usefull to keep than males ( milk )

Tested both ways, one male to many females always results in more pregnancies. The male is always ready to mate, but the females are not.

Just like real life right?

Well. The females can only get so pregnant

Back to topic, I too had some critters that simply wont mate, boomrats for example. Did anyone get them to breed?

I have seen my pet suicide rats try to breed, but nothing ever came out of it. Not that they would've lived long enough to carry anyway. They have a certain role in the colony they excel at.

If they don't it makes sense, boomrats aren't exactly natural animals.

Not only do boomrats breed, they can have litters of 5. You might want to let some of them live long enough for it for the purpose of having a bigger exploding army.
