== Description ==
Animal husbandry allows for the production of new creatures, sometimes with increased [[quality]], without the need to wait for new [[spawn]]s.
== Method ==
*One of the two [[animals]] you wish to breed must be able to be [[Rope|led with a rope]] therefore some [[Animal taming|taming]] may be required. Once you have one of the two animals lead, ensure they are both well fed and move them close to one another. Right click on the animal you are '''not''' leading and select the Breed option.<br>
*Grooming now also gives animal husbandry skill gains. (Activate a [[grooming brush]] and select [[groom]] while clicking on livestock.)
== Notes ==
* Animals must be of the same species.
* When breeding fails you will receive a message that the intercourse was interrupted.
* Breeding may be attempted every 45 minutes after failure.
* Animals do not have to be "fat" to breed.
* When an animal is "no longer interested in food" they will be ready to begin breeding.
* [[Age]] is not a factor in breeding.
* Breeding increases a player's [[soul depth]].
* Pregnancy times can differ, from 5-11 wurm [[Time|weeks]], regardless of species.
== Traits ==
Bred animals have a chance of having traits.(Enhancement/Deformity)<br>
