I caught a few buzzards in cages, what do I do with them?

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

Usually for trash animals I build their cages above ground and just let them out. Alternatively you could put 'em in your archery range/barracks.

Untrainable wild animals aren't good for much. You can kill them for meat and a bit of military practice, or you can keep them around and start a zoo. Or you could mod them to be trainable and start a buzzard ranch.

Hey so I had a FB ambush, and one of the injured dwarfs doesn't want to heal all the way. I suppose this is because his hand is showing 'infection.' Will the doctor clean that up with some soap, or is he doomed? Also, nobody will take him to the hospital. He's just lying in the middle of the hallway near the dining room.

My dwarves have been getting attached to equipment as normal but out of curiosity, does this mean if I attempt to make them equip something that replaces the equip they're attached to, they're gonna throw a fit and get ticked off?

naw they just either will put it in their room and claim ownership or refuse to drop it and pick up the new weapon.

Does a building destroyer destroy stuff if it is of your own civilization?

How in the world do I prevent my wounded dwarves from dying of infection?

Have soap on hand and buckets for cleaning. Once they're already infected I don't know.

Okay, thanks.  :D

And do animals with the [exotic_pet] tag need a dungeon master to make into pets, even if they're already tamed?

Have you toggled Pet Availability in the status(z) screen under animals?
If you have, then you need to remove the [PET_EXOTIC] tag and replace with [PET], because dungeon master is bugged.

It's not on the list, even though the caged llama is.

The caged rhesus macaque, the thing I'm trying to make into a pet, isn't on the list.

EDIT: Removing exotic from the pet tag did it. Thanks.  :D

My hunter won't hunt.
I don't understand it.

There's bolts and there's a crossbow for him to use.
What else does he need?

There's game for him to kill, what do I need to do?

Okay so in order for a hunter to hunt he needs:
Game, bolts, crossbow, AND a quiver.

Does he need anything else?
If he gets all these things he'll be able to hunt?
