Stopping pets from running away

How do you stop a beetle from running away the moment get off of it? I
restarted a charcter as a tamer and tamed the prior characters beetle to use
and the thing runs away and won't obey.

Its a bug in the program. I had a fire beetle that way. Never found
a "fix" for it. It finally ran off and probably got killed. I never
found it. Sell it to someone you don't like, and buy yourself
another one.

This is a reported bug (BAD PUN! BAD PUN! BAD! BAD!). The
workaround is, don't get off the beetle until they release a patch,
I'm afraid. At least not somewhere that you can't trap the beetle and
remount.

Get off it in an enclosed area (house, stable, etc).
Have some raw meat handy, and feed it immediately.
"All stop", "All follow me" usually works (usually...)
Stick it in the stable for a week until it bonds, and have a pet ball and
some more meat handy when you come to take it out.
Worked for me with two troublesome beetles - one blue and one fire.
I am SO glad to hear that pub 30 is going to fix the fire beetles - now I
can fight something bigger than a chicken!

It was. I killed it finally. Couldn't get off the thing anywhere but in the
house without it hauling ass so I used it for target practice.

The new one obeys normally.
