Could you explain a little bit more how you use stealth for taming without a pen?
Do you just stay around the lox and feed it?

Thats how I did it when I tamed my current Lox herd. I have a farm in the plains, raised up terrain and built up on top of it. I simply shoot 1 wood arrow at or near a Lox to aggro it, and throw a stack of cloud berries at them (in range of bench) and wait for them to calm down.

Taming is a decent way to upgrade your sneak skill, and also kill time while you wait for your animal to tame up. I tend to sneak walk into a bunch of beehives I have built over an old tree stump, while I wait.
After a few moments, let them calm down, and wait for them to eat & begin to tame. No pen or cage even needed, I just release them back into the wild, but tamed. Others I transport on Longship to other places, including my fort.
