The Rift Basilosaurus gives live birth after mating, skipping the egg-incubation step entirely.Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.

The baby Rift Basilosaurus takes approximately 4 days and 19 hours to fully mature at default rates - over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment.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 Rift Basilosaurus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~694 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~46h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~58h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses.At 100% imprint, the Rift Basilosaurus gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter.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 Rift Basilosaurus.Expect ~694 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Rift Basilosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies.Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
