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 Skeletal Giganotosaurus
Breeding the Skeletal Giganotosaurus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 43°C and 44°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 days and 1 hour.
After hatching or birth, the baby Skeletal Giganotosaurus matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 10 days and 3 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1464 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~98h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~122h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Skeletal Giganotosaurus 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.
Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Skeletal Giganotosaurus babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~1464 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Skeletal Giganotosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Skeletal Giganotosaurus as a carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Ignore classification.
With 80,000 base Health, the Skeletal Giganotosaurus is extraordinarily tanky. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. With 400 base Stamina, the Skeletal Giganotosaurus has good endurance. A base Weight of 700 means excellent carrying capacity.
The Skeletal Giganotosaurus is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 43°C–44°C temperature window. A wild Skeletal Giganotosaurus is worth 200 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
