Baby Monkeys quick to die
Mated 2 monkeys, gestated for a few hours, was standing at the monkey when the twins dropped. Immediately claimed both babies then went to open the first baby inventory to add food and boom both babies die. Total time from birth to death ... less than 30 seconds.

Right now, it seems the food depletion rate is set soooooooo high on babies that they can starve to death just that fast. One suggestion I heard in the forums was the put the food depletion rate down to 0.2 of normal, and put the taming speed up to 5x normal. That way, it still takes the rough amount of time it used to in order to tame critters - and babies won't starve to death in seconds after being hatched / born.

ok got the next one breeded and grabbed the baby immediately and fed it, as of now this monkey has been eating for 4 hours and is still not at 10% where it can self feed out of the trough..... the speed at which its eating seems ok just the speed at which it matures 0%-10% is very long... ill post how long once done

the devs thought it would be funny to double the time it takes for things to mature, and even though it may look like Bracus is joking, its closer to the truth than you might think...
the time it takes for even the smallest things to mature is now so stupendously long, its faster to find and tame a lv 120 spino, a 120 rex, and a lv 110+ quetz, including the time it takes to find them, than it is to actually hatch and mature a quetz atm...
its just broken in my opinion, it was already stupendous, but apparently the devs thought it would be funny to wack it with a sledgehammer a few times, as apparently, they thought it wasn;t broken enough yet.
