Baby: The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

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 X-Sabertooth
Instead of laying eggs, the X-Sabertooth carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 4 hours and 12 minutes at default rates.
The baby X-Sabertooth takes approximately 2 days to fully mature at default rates - slowly. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Raising a baby X-Sabertooth involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the X-Sabertooth gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
Planning a mass raise? The X-Sabertooth raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~292 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple X-Sabertooth babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the X-Sabertooth as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 243 base Health, the X-Sabertooth is relatively fragile. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it decent hitting power. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 200, giving it average weight tolerance.
To tame the X-Sabertooth, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the X-Sabertooth earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.48 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
