Hi all. I just changed my secondary profession to Ranger, so now I have a new pet. A bear named, Chewie.

Of course he's only lvl 5 so I'm wondering if there is a quick way to Lvl him up. If I take him to an area with High Lvl enemies and he dies will he still gain XP while dead? If I take him to a place where I gain no XP off the enemies, is he still gaining XP? Do Scrolls apply to pets? Any answers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
SS
