Has anyone managed to raise a horde of wargs ?

I bought 3 wargs for my colony once and immediately regretted it. Being only able to eat meat, they decimated my freezer in days. Had to call up a caravan and resell them.

All you need to do is restrict them from your freezer and they'll hunt for their own food. Teach them how to haul and they'll haul the kills back for you.

It's slightly more complicated than that. Make sure they are restricted from your freezer and that your freezer is not in the path between two allowed zones (or two sections of a single allow zone). Pawns, including both humans and animals, are allowed to path outside their allowed areas as long as their destination is within an allowed area. I've had animals go through my disallowed freezer to a grazing zone on the other side and grab snacks on the way through.

Pretty sure it doesn't work like that. I have my entire map except my freezer as allowed area for my bears and I've never seen them take any food from it. They shouldn't even be able to interact with items outside their allowed area.

It may have been addressed in A15 or A16. Unless I have food problems I don't pay a lot of detailed attention to my animal wanderings.
