Historically, one of the first questions people ask about tribbles is "How do I breed them?". Shortly thereafter, many people come to the follow-up question "OK, now how do I STOP them from breeding?", quite possibly followed by "Hey, that was my booze!"
Beautiful.
Thanks for posting the info, I had no idea. And as a person who had a tower full of UO plants, this is a nice little surprise.
In canon, the binomial nomenclature "Polygeminus grex" appeared on a chart in Keiko O'Brien's classroom on Deep Space 9; see the Memory Alpha page for a variety of useful info and trivia.
In game, if you right click on one, the menu has an Info option, which gives you their specific name and other useful info.

And I want the giant pink tribble in Kirk's chair on that page.
After breeding several full banks worth without obtaining anything much other than the 4 most common (grey, tan, brown, black) varieties, I'm starting to get more methodical in my experiments. I've been sticking 4 of the same color in the bank with 4 of the same type of food, and nothing else.
I'm a long way from drawing any solid conclusions yet, but it looks certain color/food combinations almost always yield a specific color offspring, with the occasional chance of a mutation. I've also sometimes seen tribbles consume food but produce no children, and sometimes decide they're not hungry. I also had one occasion where there were only a few tribbles in the bank and a stack of food, and the tribbles consumed almost the entire stack, producing an explosion of babies, in one reproduction cycle.
I suspect, but don't yet have enough evidence to back it up, that if you want the rarer tribbles, you need to feed them dropped food which can't be obtained from the replicator. The one uncommon (white) tribble I received came from a batch which included dropped food.
I just got my first one as a loot drop last night, threw it into the inventory and a few minutes later I had another. I think I'll keep the furry little guys around and see what kind of breeding they can do.
Is anyone looking into a tribble breeders guild? (not a fleet, just a loosley organized group dedicated to tribble breeding)
how the hell do you take a screenshot without it hiding evrything in the ui including info window on my super tribble!
Windowed mode and print screen should work. Then open ms paint or any other art program and use edit -> Paste. Print screen will normal take your desktop and dump it to the clipboard sort of like a graphic version of copy (crtl+C).

Prnt Scrn button defaults to a screenshot without the UI. Your screenshots are in C > Program Files > Cryptic Studios > Star Trek Online > Live > Screenshots
In game, in the chat window, if you type in /screen a pop up window will give you several screenshot options.
can a non powered tribble breed and produce a tribble that has a power?
YES
Started w/ 3 stock tribbles. Now have 4 def buff tribbles, lots, and I do mean LOTS of plain, unflavored tribbles. Had to turn them loose, except for original breeding set, on a Kling palnet.
BTW. One of my buffed tribs is black/brown. Solid color. Partners is a beige/off-white solid

Would be interested in joining if they did. One of the only uses for dropped food I've found
Okay make that 11 different types of tribbles, just recieved my store exclusive one which is a different colour. Didn't breed this one but its still a different type.

Look on the bright side. Canonically, the average tribble litter was 10...every 12 hours given sufficient food supply.
These tribbles seem to have had some variant of the Cyrano Jones metabolic restriction treatment.

Sooo... that's why I had 7 tribbles in my inventory a little while after my hubby gave me one.
Screen shot of info window on that please.
Would someone please be so kind to teleport me one (Galatic Mailing Service will also do).
Havent found one through head start.

Awesome TY. Maybe the OP can add this to the first post too. Nice to see there are some more strange ones out there.

How bout something that can be purchased with tribbles?
How bout using tribble tossing as a special weapon. Watch the klingons flee!
How bout tribble stew consumable?
6 plain coloured and 4 which are brown/white patchey stripey dotty ones.
