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 Pachyrhinosaurus
Breeding the Pachyrhinosaurus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 22°C and 28°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes.
The baby Pachyrhinosaurus takes approximately 1 day and 22 hours to fully mature at default rates - slowly. 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.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Pachyrhinosaurus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Pachyrhinosaurus. 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 Pachyrhinosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The Pachyrhinosaurus is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Soaker classification.
With 150 base Stamina, the Pachyrhinosaurus has moderate endurance. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 375 base Health, the Pachyrhinosaurus is reasonably durable. Weight capacity starts at 365, giving it a solid weight pool.
The Pachyrhinosaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Bug Repellant for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Pachyrhinosaurus is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–28°C temperature window. Killing a wild Pachyrhinosaurus yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.2 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
