At birth, baby holds ~45 food - refill every ~1 min
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 Grendel (Beta)
The baby Grendel (Beta) takes approximately 1 day and 22 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~278 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~23h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Grendel (Beta)'s stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Grendel (Beta). Expect ~278 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Grendel (Beta) raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
