Empty Sniffer Eggs and Very Large Sniffers

While Sniffers are a great concept, here are just a couple ideas of mine that I think would add to them and make them a little cooler. I think that when you find Sniffer eggs there should be a chance that they are empty prompting the player to have to search for more that are not. Also allowing them to have eggs that are available for decorative purpose, maybe as a trophy, or a nursery wing of their new Jurassic park inspired base. And this is less of an idea and more of a plead but please please please make the Sniffers grow to be VERY large. I saw another post that used the term gentle giant and I would love to see an absolutely colossal passive mob. I think the baby Sniffers could be 1-2 blocks tall but when they're grown they could be a full 4-5 blocks tall. This is my weakest idea for the Sniffer in my opinion, but if that is truly a bush on their backs maybe it could grow a new type of fruit and be the first crop harvested from a living mob, that could make for some interesting farm builds! (I don’t mean auto farms, I mean more like pens or corrals to house the mobs for easy crop harvesting) Food for thought I hope others like my ideas :)

    Also I think it should take at least double (if not triple) the time for the Sniffer to grow up as it does for other baby mobs, and for my fruit idea I think it should only be able to be harvested from a fully grown Sniffer.

    I think empty Sniffer eggs, along with being decor, should be cookable

    I think a sniffer should only grow under certain conditions

    Me imagino al sniffer cómo el Pokémon torterra que en su árbol produce frutas que son comestibles y ricas para los Pokémon según la descripción de este mismo

    Interesting idea except that sniffer eggs are so hard to find anyway!  Some seeds don't even have warm oceans.  I'm ok with this idea but man sniffer eggs are way too hard to find as it is.
