Is it a trumble bug?

Super trumbles.

I just bought a trumble and been hunting in an anarchy.
The thing bugging me is that the trumble fed and multiplied only after the first jump.
Could be nothing, but AFAIK trumble breeding is usually reported quite a while after the initial purchase.

That's what also I have always believed. They should start to eat and multiply only after a while.

Hmm, perhaps there is a certain amount of random to it?

Obviously the purple Trumble you went and bought off me was right on the threshold of it's multiplication stage. Don't blame me, you were the one that started going ape for it......

I crashed into an Asp MkII, or rather it smashed into me at I-speed.
So I had the opportunity to relive this disturbing episode,

up till now...about 5 retries later, I have yet to replicate this explosive growth.

OK gave up on replaying the same save. I think the game-timer has increased power in the growth.
As I was taking a lot of time battling pirates to test loot and later waiting around in a pile of test loot for a scavenger to appear.
Now two jumps after acuiring the trumble, they have eaten a tonne of [food,1,2,3,34,54,5 erm... something].
and now that I have given up on luring a scavenger, (pirate python stayed in ATTACK_SHIP eventhough it had lost interest temporarily) moving toward planet to dock and save. there anre now 2 trumbles again.
....
one jump later, they have both younged.
