During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
More about breeding the Lost Ceratosaurus
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~5 days and 12 hours (1x rate), progressing over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Raising a baby Lost Ceratosaurus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~794 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~53h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~66h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Lost Ceratosaurus's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Lost Ceratosaurus. Budget ~794 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Raising multiple Lost Ceratosaurus simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
