Finally captured this on video. Sometimes feeding a sniffer a torch flower seed does not put it in love-making mode. At first I thought I was going crazy, thinking perhaps I'd missed a hitbox or double-fed a sniffer, but finally observed this in action.
In the attached video, when I'm on the stairs I feed the first sniffer a torch flower seed, it eats it, but nothing happens. I feed the second sniffer and everything works correctly with it, but they don't breed because only one is in love mode.

@Juoles_WAW it is on a world started in 1.18, hosted on a realm. Vanilla world. I believe at the time I was using Foxy’s resource packs. There had been another issue with the sniffers being invisible, and removing all packs fixed it. I dont actually recall if that fixed this as well, or if it was a separate issue. Hope this helps!

I could not reproduce this in 1.21.1. Is this still an issue in the latest version/Preview?
