Currently, however, the first part does nothing for animals (see below), but dwarves can gain experience in it during worldgen, leading to animal caretakers appearing in [[migrant]] waves. The second part, feeding chained grazers, grants no experience, but can satisfy "stay occupied" and "help somebody" [[need]]s. Note that dwarves will not feed animals in loose (stockpiled) cages, but will feed animals in built cages (if the food has seeds, the seeds will remain in the cage; they can only be removed by dumping). | Currently, however, the first part does nothing for animals (see below), but dwarves can gain experience in it during worldgen, leading to animal caretakers appearing in [[migrant]] waves.

This makes even your greatest animal caretakers equivalent to [[peasant]]s. Animal caretaking is [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?msg=7312290 not planned to be implemented in the near future], and as such, animal caretakers who arrive in migrant waves should be immediately repurposed into other, actually functional professions. |
While non-functional in the vanilla game, the utility [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] can be used to make animal caretaking work through the {{DFtext|dwarfvet enable|white}} command; when the plugin is active, injured pets will rest in any [[activity zone]] marked as '''both''' a hospital and a training zone, where dwarves will then provide them with the necessary care. The command {{DFtext|dwarfvet disable|white}} can be used to disable the plugin if necessary. However, {{DFtext|dwarfvet enable|white}} is currently in the process of being updated to v50 and is as such not yet supported for current versions. | While non-functional in the vanilla game, the utility [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] can be used to make animal caretaking work through the {{DFtext|dwarfvet enable|white}} command; when the plugin is active, injured pets will rest in any [[activity zone]] marked as '''both''' a hospital and a training zone, where dwarves will then provide them with the necessary care.
