* Grooming is a way to reduce the main activity which risk of disease in animals. It gives animal husbandry Animal Husbandry skill.

** Tamed animals who are pregnant can lose the baby if they go offline when you do.** Neither animal should The creature ratio outside of deeds is always considered to be of same gender10 which means more miscarriage and disease.** Both animals should be of the same species, except in the case of horses and donkeys. When breeding a female [[horse]] and male [[donkey]], the foal is a [[mule]].

; {{event|inline|'''''animal'' is not doesn't seem to be in the moodright now'''}} : the male will not breed again for some time.the animal may be hungry - feeding the animal will put it back in a breeding mood if this is the case

=== Traits ===* Bred animals have a chance of gaining traits, enhancements or deformitiessome positive, some negative, some neutral. Animals may have multiple traits, those can be as seen in the table below. All traits are put into the gene pool when breeding and those of the parents will increase the chance of the offspring having the same. Should both parents have the same trait the likelihood of the offspring gaining that trait is even higher. **The dominant category is picked from either the mother or the father randomly.**If neither parent has traits, all categories of traits receive a bonus to seed the initial traits.*The breeder's animal husbandry skill level affects the minimum and maximum number of traits that will appear in a horse. The maximum number of traits you can breed into one animal is currently 8 at 80+ skill. Bred animals can also have no traits.**At lower levels, breeding animals with Traits have point values which influence their chance to pass on and how many traits will generally result in around AH skill/10 amount a bred animal recieves. **Players are capped at their animal husbandry level's worth of points for creatures they have bred (80AH= 80 points of traits, for example). i**Inbreeding will now cause the max point value to be divided by 1.e5. 5 **There is still a cap of 10 traits per creature (this does not include 0 point traits + 5 like ''bred in captivity'').* Traits fall into several categories:**Speed: These traits with 30 AH will most often result in 3 increase the speed of a creature when riding on them. These traits for do not affect the new animal, however there is some level speed of RNG hitched animals. **Draft: These traits will increase a creature’s carry weight. They will also now act as speed traits when hitched and it is possible give a speed bonus similar to obtain 4 having the speed traits.**Combat: These traits increase how tough a creature can be and 5 how well it can fight.**Negative: These traits all have negative effects that are generally unwanted.**Output: These traits increase results from breeding butchering output, shearing, and milking. **Miscellaneous: These traits don’t fit any other category. They may be positive or neutral traits.  ===Inspect Animal===*The ‘Inspect animal’ ability is gained at this level10 Animal Husbandry skill.* Animal husbandry Players can see information about if an animal is only partially hungry, breedable, and/or groomable.*Use ‘Inspect animal’ on the Epic [[curve]]bred creatures to see traits. The curved value (effective skill) allows **This displays all traits of a creature that you can see traits at that with your Animal Husbandry skill level (not true for bred in captivity trait which requires 60 numerical to see even on epic). The actual value (numerical) is used for computing It also displays the number categories of the traits you can’t normally see. With higher skill, you’ll be able to see other details in the Inspect animal window, such as time until a creature can be bred again, time until a creature can breedbe groomed again, or whether a creature is hungry, or age of the creature.* Examining Players seem to be able to see when the animal is hungry, breedable, and groomable at an animal will show traits if one has the required skill AH levelbelow 50. See the chart below for skill values required in successfully examining and actually seeing specific traits present in *At AH level 50, players can see if an animalis ready to shear wool and/or ready to milk and a more accurate pregnancy timer.

=== Inbreeding =Caring ==* Inbreeding occurs when an offspring is bred with either To prevent Venerable creatures from dying of its parents or a sibling.
