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 Spring Drakeling
Breeding the Spring Drakeling produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 17°C and 20°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 14 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Spring Drakeling matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 1 hour 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.
Raising a baby Spring Drakeling involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~150 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~10h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Spring Drakeling 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.
Planning a mass raise? The Spring Drakeling raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~150 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Spring Drakeling simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Spring Drakeling as a tamable, flying, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Shoulder Pet group.
Health-wise, the Spring Drakeling sits at 150 base, making it on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. Its base Stamina of 150 gives it decent staying power. A base Weight of 65 means very limited carrying capacity.
Once tamed, the Spring Drakeling is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 17°C–20°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
