Did you actually play the game during those days? I think tribbles breed on the hour, or at least they breed every hour after you put them in a bank/inventory with some food. Try placing the tribble in your inventory with some food and play the game for at least an hour. It should work.
Is there something wrong with breeding tribbles lately, I've been trying to breed Mattson tribbles by feeding them Tranya with hopes of getting a Velasquez but after at least 30 attempts all I get is tier 1-3 tribbles and nothing else.

If your Tribbles have snacked on 54% food or drink items, that would 'poison' their ability to breed more advanced tribbles... You might need to start over creating a 'virgin' breeding pool to get proper results...
I've been breeding Tribble (val) all this month in quantity, (last batch was this morning) and posting them for a very reasonable price on the Exchange, so I know this still works...

Oh I had no idea about the 54% 'poison', that's where I am going wrong then. Thanks for the help I would never have figured that out.
I could not find the lil Gamma quadrant fella on there either so i assumed the wiki was out of date.
I had a few tribbles in my inventory that i forgot to delete a few days ago - i never really looked into breading tribbles - + some ketracel from one of the 2800 missions and staring back at me in my inventory was a GQTribble when i looked to sort out my inventory, to me that was very random and very wonderful.
Im sure my away teams are getting a bit too friendly with my tribbles as each one has one and randomly during a mission i can hear them purring lol behind me lol :eek:

Yes, was playing the game--several hours, in fact. I have bred tribbles from the bottom to the top of the ladder, so it's not new to me. I just can't get a GQ tribble for whatever reason. Perhaps my progenitor was "poisoned" as a later poster mentioned. I should have a good virgin stock now, since I got 12 new ones in a Doff mission disaster.
We know tribbles activate on the hour. But in what order? and which food item do they select? I ask as I wish to set up a Tribble Corpse Grinder (Sorry been playing minecraft too much).
I think from memory fuelled passive observations the Tribbles activate as you would read the inventory slots (Left to right, top to bottom)
So if that is the case, then a pile of Tribbles on to top row, with a pile of food. and an equal number of Cannibal tribbles on the bottom row should achieve a corpse every hour and the Tribble numbers should not decrease, nor increase.
I was going to test it later, but its going to take me some time which I don't have at the moment. So I wondered if anyone had conducted these experiments?
I'm not absolutely sure about this, but in my experience just 2 tribbles eat (and breed) per hour. So to build your carcass grinder, you need 2 normal tribbles, a stack of food and 1 cannibal in that order. This worked for me. So one of the normal tribbles will reproduce and one of the three will be eaten by the cannibal. Theoretically this would work with just 1 normal tribble too, but if the cannibal eats first, the chain is stopped.
Comments
Baked Tribble is a food. (Tribble Kebab is also a food, IIRC.)
The result is Cannibal Tribble.
Cannibal Tribbles eat other Tribbles (at least white or green quality ones.)
KDF characters have the option of the Duty Officer assignment "Prepare Baked Tribble for the Captain."
I am not sure where kebabs (or baked) were attained prior to the Duty Officer feature.
Then again, tribbles will gobble up ketracel white...
Do they produce anything good when they chow down on a bit of Ketracel White?
Correction: You get a Gamma Quadrant Tribble from rare and very rare tribble + Ketracell (maybe from other ones too, but I didn't try)
I actually just baked a Gamma Quadrant Tribble from it.
Very Rare Ground Device
Removes all previous Tribble Buffs
+3% Damage vs Dominion
5% Improved Stealth and Perception
Don't know why the first two tries didn't succeed. Maybe it was because I used a white tribble for my first tests and now a rare one. Who knows ...
I have a feeling the GQ Tribble was added in the latest (Yesterday's) patch, so that may be why it never worked for you before.
Just a theory though.
I reckon this is the unbreedable tribble?
edit: Looks like not the case tho

Though it is missing the Dominion Tribble.
Also: This one does not fit well as a Background.

If I knew what it was, I'd give it a go.
