    Can I find wolves on Pocket Edition?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but only in taiga biomes (taiga, cold taiga, mega taiga). You will need bones from skeletons to tame them. They have a one in twelve chance of being tamed by a bone, but once you tame two, you can simply breed them with raw meat to make more. Be careful not to hit them, as they will attack and become untamable. You may need to get a specific seed for a taiga biome, but there's a decent chance you could find one in your current world, as they aren't too rare.

    You need two golden carrots - one for each horse you are breeding.
  • Question
    Do the animals need separate pens?

    Community Answer
    No, they don't need them. The pens are just a strategy. I have a huge free range fenced-off farm, and all my animals roam in there. I can breed them without pens.

  • Question
    Isn't using seeds a better way to breed chickens than to waste eggs?
    Community Answer
    That is your opinion. Seeds are also somewhat hard to find if you don't explore much, don't have much grass, and don't have a village.

  • Question
    How do I build a farm on Minecraft Pocket Edition?
    Community Answer
    Get the animals favorite food: cow - hay/straw, pig - carrot, dog - porkchop, cat - fish, chicken - seeds. Once you have them, select the food and just hold it on the animal until you see love hearts. Do this on both animals you wish to breed together. With a chicken, you need to wait until it lays an egg and throw the egg (the same way you eat). Some may have nothing but some may lay a chick.

    To tame a ocelot, you will need raw salmon. Hold the raw salmon near the ocelot and don't move, it will approach you. Feed it until it turns to a domestic cat.

    No. You cannot, because polar bears are hostile toward you if there is a cub around. It would be dangerous.

    Yes. Spawn two horses in an enclosed area and feed them both a golden carrot or apple. Wait a minute or so because they take awhile to breed. Then you'll have a brand new baby horse!

    SunPuppy
    Community Answer
    Get seeds and approach the parrot slowly. Chase it if it flies away, and when it's still, feed it the seeds. To make it ride on your shoulder, step over it. If not on your shoulder, it will teleport to you if you are too far away.
  • Question
    Why don't donkeys follow me with a golden apple or golden carrot?

    Golden apples are items that the player is supposed to eat and it gives you some potion effects. The golden carrot is used as an ingredient in some potions. No animal will follow you with these.

    Parrots can be tamed by holding any variant of seeds in front of them, and pressing the "Feed" button located directly above your hotbar. There is a 33% chance you will tame the parrot every time you feed it seeds.

    How do I tame a ocelot?
    Seasalt25
    Top Answerer
    In Minecraft 1.14+, you can no longer tame ocelots. However, you can gain their trust so they don't run away from you, and you can breed them. Gather some raw cod or salmon, find an ocelot, then crouch and slowly approach the ocelot until it begins to come towards you. When it is close enough, feed it the fish until hearts appear above its head. Now you've gained its trust, so it won't run away from you when you approach it. To breed them, you need 2 ocelots that trust you and 2 raw cod or salmon. Feed the 2 ocelots so hearts appear above them and they should come together to produce a baby ocelot.
