Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
HOW TO TAME BURROWBUCK:
1: get about 10-15 rockarats to feed the burrowbuck.
2: than go up to it in ghille and you must be crouching when approaching or it will run away! And passively feed it the carrots.
3: Then it teleports away and repeat the process until tamed!
So don’t make a trap to tame it in it just doesn’t work
BONUS
Do NOT interact with the burrows around the burrowbuck because they are traps and you will get stuck.
Thx for reading!

Has 3 modes of burrows: Hidey hole, gateway, trap. Hidey hole is a bunker that auto decays in 2 days (Timer resets if you go inside, at least in single player) you can place anything that will fit other than Turrets, cannot fit a industrial forge for reference. You can deploy cryopods inside, enemies cannot place c4 inside burrow but can rocket inside, and can c4 the burrow entrance which will be outside, like the tek bunker. Players CAN enter no matter what, but the name will be hidden so they won’t know which of the 3 burrow types it will be. Only defense will be outside or a Dino inside at entrance.
Gateway is essentially a mini tp, you can have up to 6 anywhere across the map, you can select to travel between them like you would fast travel a bed, but you won’t drop anything and Dino’s near you will teleport with you, you can use this while heavy. Other players CAN use your gateway burrows, but it will be at random. Has a 1 hour refresh timer, teleport to your gateways to refresh timer.
Trap burrow has a 12 hour timer, any player that goes near your trap excluding allies will be blinded and trapped (like a bola except cannot jump) Around 10 seconds and can reduce timer by punching with a random chance of it reducing.
Outside of this Burrowbuck has only a melee attack, weak stats, invisibility for 7seconds, a far leap with holding spacebar as a charge, can jump two times in the air. That’s all I know for now.
On Val you can find them around Lat 74.2 and Long 87 just look for their burrowss. They are mean and babies seem to be as well.
Here's all you need to do... put extraordinary kibble in last slot, slowly approach while coaching. Stopping every once and a while, then get close to butt, press feed and voila! Having ghili suit of course! You should be good!
DO NOT USE KIBBLE. Carrots give the same effectiveness and percentage, and allow more frequent feedings. Kibble feedings take longer for it to get hungry again
These are like any passive tame as far as the action goes. Put the highest quality best taming food in your last slot and when close enough feed it
Now to get close enough to feed, you do need full grille and to be crouched and walk up behind it will let you get close enough.
Be prepared as it does jump/runaway after each feed, this is normal just track it back down and repeat.
It can jump into trees and cliff sides and 100s of meters away so be prepared to follow and kill other Dino’s it may get near.
Crouch and walk up to it then feed it. It will then do a burrow animation and will jump (invisible) in the opposite direction of where you’re standing. Can make it easier if you aim it toward a cliff so it will just bounce back to you instead of landing far away. Rinse and repeat. If you or a wild creature trigger its burrow traps it will lose taming effectiveness. If you trigger the burrow trap while it is close enough it will attack you.
Passive Tame: Superior Kibble and above or Rockarrot for best results. Sneak to approach. Ghillie and Cactus Broth not necessary but may skip the jump away phase after feeding (during taming). Beware, Burrowbuck get aggressive when near their babies, which can make taming annoying. Falling into a burrow trap will also make you lose taming efficiency so watch out!
It gives you the ability to create up to 6 teleporters (burrows) in almost any location and with no distance limit that all link to eachother but have a 1 hour decay timer that resets upon use. It can create 2 more burrow types as well, 1 being it's hidey hole with a 2 day decay timer which is a small room underground for you to chill in. The third burrow type is a pitfall trap.
It has a triple jump ability, a long jump ability like that of the reaper or karakinos and a cloak/camouflage ability that enables you to be invisible for a few seconds. Stats do not affect duration of burrows.
I’ve noticed taming a 140 it was 1 min and 33 sec in between feeds

The Burrowbuck is an aggressively evasive herbivore and a horned hare-like prey cryptid that escapes danger by kicking up blinding dirt and tunneling underground. Befriending one takes patience: offer it snacks and keep trying after it skedaddles away. Once tamed, it allows survivors into its hidey-holes as a temporary bunker and creates a tight-tunnel travel network between entrances and exits. It can also dig decoy entrances that drop uninvited enemies into diversionary pitfalls that cave in and trap them.
What does a Burrowbuck eat? In ARK: Survival Evolved, the Burrowbuck eats Superior Kibble, Rockarrot, Archelon Algae, Crops, Mejoberry, Berries, Fresh Barley, Fresh Wheat, or Soybean, Dried Wheat, and Gallimimus Kibble.
