Rabbit Taming Trouble
I'm currently trying to tame a rabbit, but having some odd problems. I assume their taming food is Mejo berries because that's what it allows me to give them, and it won't take veggies or anything else from me. This would be fine, but I seem to have a problem where as I'm taming it, the rabbit's hunger is going down super fast. It only allows me to feed it every few seconds, and the hunger is going down faster than I can do so. When I give it a berry, the food continues to go down instead of going back up, and because the taming process thinks I'm not feeding it, the efficiency and progress is plummeting. I can't get past 50% taming progress because it's going down as fast as I can feed it.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong? I have all ghille on as well as bug repellent. Maybe the repellent is causing it; I've never really used it before. If you could please explain how to tame the rabbit exactly as you intended, maybe that would help? I don't even care about efficiency at this point, but I literally cannot tame it because the progress is dropping so fast. I just want a cute little rabbit, but alas it seems I'm cursed LOL

Thanks in advance for anyone's help, anything is appreciated.

Attempt 2: Definitely was not the bug repellent doing it. I could sit there and feed it all day, but it starves quicker than I can tame it. Tried all types of berries, still didn't work. Now going to cook up a veggie cake and see how that goes.

EDIT: Veggie cakes do the same thing, starves faster than I can tame it. I even have taming at 3.5 rather than base, and my dino character food drain is at 1. It also won't eat honey. Running out of ideas x'D I didn't try the other veggies because I figured if carrots weren't able to tame them, then the other probably can't... but I'm desperate, so maybe I'll try the others as well.

EDIT 2: Also wanted to state that I noticed they don't start getting hungry until you start taming them, when they are just hopping around wild they are fine. It seems to be that once you give them any sort of taming food, they immediately start eating super fast. They poop way quicker like they are eating, and their food goes down, but giving them food while taming them isn't enough to keep their food up, then when their food level falls low enough the taming progress starts dropping and it's impossible to tame them. Also checked again and can't find any any special food recipes that the mod adds to tame them specifically, like the aura seeker kibble or the dragon feast stuff.

My overall guess is that this is an unintended bug, and that no one else has mentioned it because other people aren't very interested in taming rabbits when there are so many other neat creatures to tame LOL

Did you try carrots?

Yes, that was the first thing I tried, sorry, thought I wrote that on here. Unless something changed since then, they wouldn't even take carrots from me.
