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 Summer Drakeling
Breeding the Summer Drakeling produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 37°C and 40°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.
The baby Summer Drakeling takes approximately 1 day and 1 hour to fully mature at default rates - over a lengthy period. 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.
Maturation has three 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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Summer Drakeling'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.
Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Summer Drakeling babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~150 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Summer Drakeling raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.
The Summer Drakeling is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Shoulder Pet group.
Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. The Summer Drakeling has 150 base Health - relatively fragile. With 150 base Stamina, the Summer Drakeling has moderate endurance. A base Weight of 65 means not built for hauling.
As a tame, the Summer Drakeling is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 37°C–40°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
