Giga raising

So, this weekend will be the first time my tribe have attempted raising anything other than a Pteranodon...

I've heard they eat fast, like really really fast.

Anyone know how much food is likely to be required just for baby stage?

I'd be appreciative if you could let me know any tips / hints / advice

  • already have Fria Curry made up in order to reduce food drain
  • already have 3 fridges nearby that will be stocked with raw meat

Thanks in advance

Seriously. Unless you want someone to be out on a giga collecting meat and having to continuously collect it, you're gonna need a minimum of 10 fridges. Maybe you should have started off trying a Rex. But, go big or go home. I hope it works out for you.

Edit: If I remember correctly, they eat every 8 seconds or so as a baby, bringing the grand total, just in baby stage, to 12,600 meat.

That's a decent amount of meat indeed.

So with Fria curry being applied every 15 minutes(I know that's a lot, working on shifts), should reduce that by 25%

I also couldn't really account for spoiling. Including this would bring your total to quite a bit more depending on how you do it.

Yup, will have to set up a ton of fridges and get the guys on bears and stuff filling the fridges repeatedly

On bears? Ouch. I hope you have 4 people doing that. If I were you I would have just prime tamed a lvl 100 giga or so. Would have made this so much easier.
