Can you store pets on data droids and thus get more than otherwise?

"Can you store pets on data droids and thus get more than otherwise?"


I doubt it for two reasons:



  1. The ability to store a pet is a special skill, it is called something like Store Pet, and at novice, your rating is 2... a droid doesn't have that ability.

  2. If for some reason you could, when you store your droid, the pets go poof... as does all data stored in the droid.

I thought hungry=action damage and play=mind damage.

I tamed my first two pets yesterday: a peko peko (not giant), and an elder gualama, within about 1/2 hour of each other.Went to work,then spent the evening fighting stuff with the peko peko. I got Management 1, taught him his 4'th command, and he got his name (instead of "baby peko peko"). At some point, I noticed that he had stopped conning green to me, and now conned white. I thought maybe he'd grown, but my datapad still said HAM was 250(2500), which I assume means he hadn't grown. It was roughly 12 hours since I tamed him, but I'm not sure exactly. I stored and recalled him to make sure the datapad was updated.


An hour or two later, I pulled out the gualama and taught him a fourth command. I noticed he, however, still conned green. His HAM bars said 450(4500). So he apparently hadn't grown either? 'm guessing that if he grew, the datapad would say 900(4500) or something - is that right?


So anyway, why did the peko peko start conning white, while the elder gual (a higher level creature)still conned green?

pets are always green unless grouped, they become white once grouped

i have had a dewback and an eopie for over a week and they are still not full grown.... so i have no idea what people are doing to get full grown pets in 3 days or whatever... do you need to teach them a name or what... why arent mine full grown yet.

I thought the grow time was 5 days ?


I had a Giant Peko Peko baby (which I got rid of) that grew in 5 days while stored in my data pad. Got rid of it because it kept getting stuck in the trees.


I currently have a fully grown Kaadu and a still growing Bachelor Guala.

Well right now my pet is on its 7th (might be 8th) and it is now the 7th day of having him. All of my pets have been growing at 10% every 24 hours.

I also like to feed them. Call me superstious but I think it helps. Of course I don't have scientific data to back that up but it is something that I have noticed. BTW try feeding your critter some spice. I haven't noticed any down time (or pukeing) for them yet.

I have played with this abit and i can say just leaving it in your datapad will only make it grow 2-3 levels a day but taking it out and playing with it and fighting it makes it grow alot quicker ..up to 5-6 levels a day.

Fight it .. feed it .. stroke it...and love it and it will grow faster

as far as i know it's between 5 and 10 days depending on how much you are online and if you call the pet.

as far as i know the pet doesn't grow of you are not online, i have a character on European-Farstar whos lesser plains bol is currently level 4(10) and the pet was bought in december, but i haven't used the character, but it might just be a bug, i haven't tried with others.
