Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Jerboa based on your settings.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Jerboa across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Jerboa first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Jerboa unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

The Jerboa, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Shoulder Pet group.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Jerboa brings solid damage output to the table. Health-wise, the Jerboa sits at 55 base, making it extremely fragile. Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves. It carries 120 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.

Taming the Jerboa requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Plant Species Y Seed for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Jerboa is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild Jerboa yields 0.5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.51 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
