Worf: They were an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out.
Odo : Wiped out? What are you saying?
Worf : Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy. An armada obliterated the tribbles’ home world. By the end of the twenty third century they had been eradicated.
Odo : Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the great tribble hunt?
I imagine the cuteness factor is also antithetical to Klingon culture. Like the ongoing joke of Klingon “dungeons” being filled with stuffed animals, cuddling, and tickling.
Man, I thought I was fairly well versed in Trek, but this is next level. I had to look it up. Here I was thinking that they might eat them out of spite and anger.
As far as I can tell, none have ever been seen moving - they’re just reproduction machines. The lungs would make them, uh, pulsate? Also, I’m 90% this picture is not canon at all. I posted it mostly as a joke.
Interesting. So, if they can‘t move, they would have to reproduce by sending pollen into the air or something similar. I wonder how they birth their offspring. They would have to eject them at high speeds to reach new areas.

Yeah, I know… I just don’t get it. They would cram them in a container and at least try it, I think.

True, but eating them on a planetary level would counteract that, no? They could breed them to bite, even.
Section 31 saw to that detail a century later. I’m sure some were eaten, but Klingon thinking is like a blunt instrument: simple and lacking nuance.

Maybe there‘s just not much to eat with a tribble being mostly fur.
Mostly uterus, it seems.
How do they move?

I love this community. Having in depth conversations about the edibility and biomechanics of troubles. Don’t change!
