ARK Breeding Calculator
Pick any breedable creature to get egg incubation or gestation time, total maturation, the critical baby hand-feeding window, mating cooldown and the full imprint schedule — for ARK: Survival Ascended. Scales to your server's breeding speed.
Rates come from your server profile — set them once and every calculator updates.

Raising. The Baby phase (0–10%) is the dangerous window — the baby can't eat from a feeding trough and must be hand-fed until it reaches Juvenile. Imprint at each cuddle interval for the full bonus. Wall-clock times assume the egg is fertilized now and rescale with your server profile; mating cooldown is unaffected. Imprint counts assume the default imprint amount — tune that on the imprint calculator.
The imprint schedule and maturation phases follow the ARK breeding formulas using the default imprint amount. Baby food consumption is not shown.
