Sabertooth breeding
Going to breed a couple of sabers.. How long will I have to stand there and fill up the little one with meat? 1 hour? 5 hours? rest of my life? rest of the baby's life?

Gestation Time 04:10:37
Baby Time 04:52:23

After it hits juvie stage, or 10% (Which is after 4:52:23 as a baby).

After that, you can let it eat off of troughs, although too me personally once it can hold at least 300-400 meat I can generally put it that much on, and not be online for 8+ hours(assuming no one comes near it), and it be fine.

From gestation to fully grown is 2 days and 44 minutes

Aha, okay thanks. And after what I've understood I'll have to be there to feed it about instantly for the first 4.52 hours?

For the most part. Once it can hold a decent amount, you can be afk doing ♥♥♥♥ for a bit.

^ that long.

Remember to keep a feeder.with meat in it for the mom during the gestation time also or atleast on the mom as she needs extra food while carrying the baby.

Then once the baby is born. You can time how long 1/4 or 1/2 a stack last. To figure out how long a full one will last.

Myself once I have the time figured put I get them to where they have 3-4 stacks worth of storage and then set a time for how long 2 stacks last. And I go collecting mats, egg, crafting stuff and then come back when the timer is done to refill it
And repeat increasing the timer as it gets another stack more of storage and so on. Until I know it will have enough food till juvenile stage and start filling up feeders.

No with sabers its not much if a problem. But for stuff with longer baby times make sure to factor in spoil rates of the meat. As no matter howany stacks you add to their inventory a stack of 20 meat will only last so long and 1 or 100 stacks spoil at the same rate.
