This issue might have been discussed till oblivion, but search didn't give me any useful threads and i just want these ideas out of my head and brought before the community 
Currently pet food doesn't have any effects on the pets while growing (or i am missing something here?). Wouldn't it be great to be able to control the growth and the stats of your baby while it grows?
A BE could craft pet-growth-only-food (what a word), that let's a player have influence on the growth of the pet:
NOTE: You should only be able to feed these once a day (or growth cycle) and only if it isn't fully grown. This food only works on wild tamed pets, BE pets are already better than wilds.
- growth acceleration: the pet grows twice as fast and gets about 10-15% bigger. No change in stats. Can be fed anytime while growing. Effect lasts 2 growth cycles.
- growth limiter: the pet stops growing in size. Always wanted a bonzai turton or a permanent baby huurton? That's the food to give. But it gimps the stats. You need to feed enhancers to combat the HAM/stat penalties, but a bonzai pet will never be as good as a normally grown pet (maybe 10-15% less in everything if enhancers are fed constantly). Can be fed anytime while growing. Effect lasts 2 growth cycles.
- stats and HAM enhancers: Feeding one of these lets you enhance HAM or stats/resists. You have to constantly feed this food until the pet is grown to have the full effect. You can either chose to enhance one thing to the fullest or enhance all equally. Feeding only one type gives 30% bonus. Doesn't affect armor, you can't have armor on a pet that doesn't have it naturally. Effect lasts 1 growth cycle.
- color: Well, you can affect the outcome of the pets color. Only needs to be fed once and can't be changed afterwards. The baby has to be CL5 or below to make it work.
- speed/stamina: feeding one of these enhances the running speed and gallop time/recovery time about 5%. More useful for mounts. Max. enhancement 15% (3 food portions cap it).
- will: this one makes your pets more obidient to your commands/handling abilities. They run away less in combat and makes it harder for jedis to gain control of your pets.
- combat enhancers: raises attack speed/to hit/damage. Effect lasts 1 growth cycle. Gives 5% per use and caps at 15-20%
I think this would help to make wild pets a bit more useful compared to BE'ed pets.

That sounds like fun...I would definately bug a BE to make theseif they put this in...running around with an ankle-high TMB or graul would be so much fun...I hate big skins anyway...

I like your ideas, it would be nice to have a pet that was bigger, smaller, different color that anyone elses. Maybe the dev's will listen, blah, blah, and blah, Not likely but good ideas anyway.
