Tips & Strategies
No need for ghillie. Just crouch and approach it from 15m away. Before that you can even run in flak. Front or back does not matter. After feeding it will burrow and reappear 80-150m away. Can be fed again in an instant after burrowing.
Dont fall in it's trap. It will attack you. And if you hit it, it will reset taming progress, loosing taming effectiveness.
Bring flyer as it can reappear in other player base. Once it got stuck on a base roof, where I could not feed it or push it down.
Get rid of babies first or if you get close to them they will attack you so fast you wont know what killed you.
More Burrowbuck Taming & KO Tips
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.

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
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!
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!
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.
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.
I’ve noticed taming a 140 it was 1 min and 33 sec in between feeds
Using ghillie crouch up to bunny and using extraordinary kibble feed it and walk away it is the most effective way, I found having a desmo near by (not to close you’ll spook it) is handy if you’re taming anywhere near water because they tend to run everywhere an end up in water.
Also if it’s injured during taming you’ll loose all taming and have to start over, each time you do this the effectiveness goes down
Why everyone say you need gillie, you do not, naked or not, with berries, or carrots, crouch follow, if it turns around, stop moving untill it turns away from you, feed it as it stops, I tamed many, all on official small tribes while solo
