Instead of laying eggs, the Yeti carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 6 hours and 39 minutes at default rates.

The baby Yeti takes approximately 3 days and 5 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby Yeti involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~463 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~31h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~39h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Yeti'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.

Planning a mass raise? The Yeti raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~463 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Yeti babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
