Hey all,

I finally managed to catch 2 live lizards and a firefly! and was wondering how to go about training them.

I have gone into the kennel and selected "Train Small Animal" but nothing happens and shortly the job disappears.

What am I doing wrong?

Also, what do I do with the animals once they are trained (if I can manage it).

Thanks!

You misread tame for train. Small animals can't be trained, they can only be eaten and processed for extracts (a select few). You can also try to put them up for adoption, but since dwarfs normally have no preference for vermin that will probably do nothing.

Small animals can certainly be tamed.  They can't be trained, you can't make war vermin, but you can tame them.  You need to tame them to make them available for adoption.

However, Lizards are PET_EXOTIC, so you need a Dungeon Master to tame them, and Fireflies can't be tamed at all.  The only vermin that you can tame without a dungeon master are bluejays, cardinals, grackles, orioles, redwing blackbirds, hedgehogs, rats, large roaches, and worms.

Ah...tamed, yes that's what I meant.

Thank you for the response. It all makes sense to me now.
