UO Second Age

Hi

Sometimes I have had untamed animals in my house - but normaly they disappear after a few days ..

Do they die, or is it other players EQ'ing them?

yeah there in heaven

They'll despawn after a certain time period due to inactivity (I wanna say its 24 hours.)

Basically need to interact with them to keep them around (try to open the packs on packhorses, sheering sheep or attacking the pet through a wall once to refresh it.)

Or someone could have EQd them.

You can also simply target them to reset their 24-hour clock. It might actually be a little less than 24 hours, too. But something like animal lore or anatomy works just as well.
