Outside of a pen, or if the pen has an open door, animals will enter into the [[Mental break#Roaming|roaming]] [[mental break|mental state]]. Roaming animals will wander away and eventually leave the map. They can be roped into a [[caravan hitching spot]] or a pen (closed or not) by a colonist with enough [[Skills#Animals|animals skill]] for that animal. | Outside of a pen, or if the pen has an open door, animals will enter into the [[Mental break#Roaming|roaming]] [[mental break|mental state]].

− | * If a pen isn't large enough to sustain your animals, but it's still growing season, then consider planting [[dandelion]]s | + | * If a pen isn't large enough to sustain your animals, but it's still growing season, then consider planting [[dandelion]]s. Once the dandelions reach 10% growth, they are considered edible. This is more effective per-nutrition, even when compared to [[haygrass]] grown outside the pen. |
