== Out of date info ==
Much of the information in this page is out of date or incorrect. I have personally observed many traits far behind my animal husbandry skill level, and I can care for more animals than my skill should allow. --[[User:Azated|Azated]] 06:26, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

== Trait discussion ==
''29 skill: "The legs are of different length." (Major speed penalty)''
I noticed yesterday that a horse with legs of different length stopped walking every twenty seconds while I was riding it with very heavy load. Can someone confirm this? [[User:Tekari|Tekari]] 08:08, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
=Certain Spark in its eyes=
Confirmed that animals with this trait will die of old age. I removed "cared for status" on a ven horse and she was dead the next morning. Long discussion in kchat (partially on my part to disseminate finding) showed that still nobody can report breeding a foal with this trait. Speculate maybe it was an exclusion to the short lived "vens don't breed" rule? [[User:Othobrithol|Othobrithol]] 14:51, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
=Age of horses vs pregnancy time=
Right, i've just bred two female horses.... old-fat-ragegrey(f) mated with aged-fat-tomdance(m) with a pregnancy time of 11WW... aged-fat-eckerlightning(f) mated with aged-fat-waldowalking(m) with a pregnancy time of 5ww...
I know that it says "Pregnancy times varies from 5-11 wurm weeks, regardless of species." But is the pregnancy duration random or related to animal age?

== Blood Lines ==
"Longer blood lines will support more traits. (For example: A 4th generation dog can have up to 6 or so traits where a 1st generation dog (the first offspring from wild dogs) usually only have 0-3 traits.)"
Going to remove this from the notes section, as it appears to be outdated. I've been making note of every horse born on my deed since Pristine launched in December, and number of traits appears to be purely based on AH at the time of breeding (though of course, with a bit of randomness thrown in). I have data to back up that two wild horses will produce 4-5 trait babies quite frequently with 50+ AH.

== Miscarriage ==
Does it kill the mother too, only sometimes, or never?
[[User:Ingmar|Ingmar]] ([[User talk:Ingmar|talk]]) 05:56, 9 April 2013 (CDT)
Can definitely kill the mother. I had an aged female horse, well fed / groomed, in a locked pen on deed; logged on to find her dead in the pen (she died Apr 11; ratios added Mar. 26). Should have been pregnant at the time; no baby and no other visible cause of death.

== Inbreeding ==
Even though it was undone, I wanted to make a comment on here that killing the parents does '''not''' prevent inbreeding. My source is me (developer), and the Wurm source code.
To elaborate more, the WurmIDs of the parents are still kept and stored on animals. When the WurmIDs of the parents no longer resolve to a creature, the names no longer show up on examine. When breeding, the check for inbreeding is made based on the '''WurmIDs ONLY''' - it does not attempt to see if the creatures exist still or not.
The reason people have thought that killing parents helps is because of another factor of breeding, and that's how traits are actually passed down. Without getting too deep into detail, the chances of inbreeding giving a negative trait goes down significantly the more traits each parent has.

== Cool down on breeding ==
Missing information about cool down when failed attempt to breed and time until male is ready again, I believe it minimum 45 min but can be longer in some circumstances.

== Grooming Difficulty ==
Are there grooming difficulties listed somewhere? Grooming horses seems to be more difficult than sheep and cows. At 12 AH with a low ql brush I fail a lot on horse, but most attempts are successful on cows and sheep. Dirk 11/17/22
