Ever tried working on an empty stomach? It doesn’t feel good, does it? It’s the same for your creatures. Their diet matters. Ensuring they munch on the right stuff is a sure-shot way to get them in prime breeding condition. Just like we need our vitamins and proteins, these animals need their specific diet, too. So, what’s on the menu?
Safe Spaces Aren’t Just a Human Thing
A home isn’t just a place to sleep. It’s a sanctuary. Your animals deserve that sanctuary – a place where they can feel safe and breed without interruptions. Think of it as building a crib for a baby. You’d want it to be safe, warm, and comfy, right?

Hatching 101: From Egg to Dino
Have you got an egg? Congrats! Now for the fun part – incubation. Think of it as setting the stage for the big reveal. Whether you’re using the warmth of a campfire or the coolness of an air conditioner, the goal is simple: create the perfect environment for that little life inside the egg.
The Ultimate Dino Nursery
First things first, let’s set up shop. Build a cozy 4×4 room and fill it with campfires. This is your egg’s new home. Keep those fires burning, and you’ll have a happy egg. Simple, right?
Feel the Burn… But Not Too Much
Keeping the fires alive is crucial. It’s like cuddling your egg with warmth. Too cold, and the egg won’t hatch. Too hot and, well, you get the picture. The right temperature is the secret sauce to successful incubation.
Watch and Wait, The Magic is About to Happen!
Remember the excitement of waiting for your birthday gift? That’s exactly how waiting for the egg to hatch feels. It’s a test of patience. But oh boy, when that shell cracks and the baby dino pops out, all that waiting feels worth it!

Watching Dinosaurs Grow: An Unforgettable Journey
Ever thought about how a tiny dino baby becomes a gigantic beast in Ark Survival Ascended? It’s kind of like watching a baby learn to crawl and then sprinting in no time. Different dinos take their sweet time. A baby dodo? They’re all grown up in about 15 hours. But a baby Stegosaurus? You’re looking at a 2.5-day marathon! Remember, though, these times might change if you’re on a custom server or hanging out on private ones.
Pro Tips for Raising Healthy Dinos
Raising baby dinosaurs is kind of like babysitting but way cooler. Think of it this way: If you were taking care of a kitten, would you feed it lettuce? No way! Carnivore dinos? They need their meat. Herbivore buddies? Stock up on those berries. And for the ones who like a little bit of everything? Mix it up! Balance is key.
Dino Food 101: From Babies to Teens
Now, when your baby dino starts growing up and enters the ‘I-can-do-it-myself’ Juvenile stage, things get easier for you. Picture it like a kid who’s finally learned to make their own sandwich. For these young dinos, a Feeding Trough is your best friend. Fill it up, and they’ll munch away, be it in their teenage (Adolescent) phase or as a kiddo (Juvenile).
Keeping Your Dino Babies Safe and Sound
You wouldn’t let your cat out in a wild jungle, right? The same goes for your dino babies. These little ones need protection! Imagine building a fortress where no one can touch them. First things first, a strong fence is a must. It’s like creating a safe playpen for them to run around. Want to step up your security game? Add some awesome Turrets to the mix. From Mini-Guns to Rockets, these bad boys ensure no harm comes near your dino family.
