My fortress doesn't have cave spiders in it. I can only get cloth by trading ;-;

I caught a large roach and tamed it, but it just sits in its trap all day, and nobody adopts it. Do I have to do something to encourage someone to take it?

Have you tried processing pig tails at a Farmer's Workshop? It's very easy. Just grow a few starting summer, or gather them from plants inside your fortress, and enter the job at the workshop; it requires no other materials.

For your roach problem, make sure you hit [z] then [a] to go to the animal status screen. Make sure the roach is marked as available. If you already did this, then keep in mind that it's a roach. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody likes them.

You should be able to cage elves and eat them. They're as much vermin as snakes, roaches, bats, or dragons.

*I* like roaches, they're cute!  
That poor defenseless creature...

And, to follow the old tradition of gods forbidding food, I hereby declare elf's to be holy animals and unclean to eat, go eat some humans instead.  
And there is noting wrong with the elf's other than them being annoying hypocrites.  :mad:

I might eventually look into making all sapient races able to be butchered and served as food  :p

...What have you done with the real Armok?  Also, I demand a refund of my shares.

Elves'll be nice and hol'y once someone makes a big enough crossbow  :p

Then, we could call them 'swiss cheese' and proceed to eat them. Hmm, do elves make plant cheese? Their crafts ruin universes  :p

[Aquillion]

Hmm, and there's no bad thought for eating trapped vermin like this?  That could possibly make a useful supplemental food source under some circumstances...  although I suppose it involves more work than it's worth.
