The problem is that those are giant versions of vermin, and no vermin specify the [CHILD:x] tag - since the "GIANT" creature variation does not add it (and neither do any of those giant creatures), none of them will ever be capable of breeding.

is there a way to get these to breed? i had a friend send the raw for a giant cave spider to breed but i havent captured a male female pair yet to test it, and also since having the GCS eggs put into the game, "i can buy them from caravans" my dwarves do not use them to cook is there a way to fix that as well?
