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 X-Sabertooth Salmon
The baby X-Sabertooth Salmon takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. 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.
Raising a baby X-Sabertooth Salmon involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the X-Sabertooth Salmon's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the X-Sabertooth Salmon. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale X-Sabertooth Salmon raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The X-Sabertooth Salmon is an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
Stamina sits at 100 base, providing tires quickly. Melee starts at 105% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 63 base Health, the X-Sabertooth Salmon is very frail. Weight capacity starts at 18, giving it very limited carrying capacity.
The X-Sabertooth Salmon cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. A wild X-Sabertooth Salmon is worth 0.5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
