Started later than everyone else on raising my chocobo.. currently only on day 13, and abusing the hell out of any information already gathered by others. :D
So far, I've been raising my chick purely on vomp carrot paste (homegrown; can't /afford/ to buy it), and a schedule of walks, walks, and for variety, some walking. I'm hoping to boost her strength and endurance a whole hell of a lot, and have been keeping obsessive notes on what's fed, when, and all that other stuff. If I wind up with anything colored (unlikely!), I'll share my (admittedly uninspired) raising methods~
