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 Trike
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 22 hours (1x rate), progressing over a lengthy period. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
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 Skeletal Trike'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 Skeletal Trike. 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 Skeletal Trike raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The Skeletal Trike is a herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Ignore classification.
With 5,625 base Health, the Skeletal Trike is an absolute bullet sponge. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 150 gives it moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 365, giving it a solid weight pool.
The Skeletal Trike is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. A wild Skeletal Trike is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
