Prehistoric Farm Dinosaurs: Creatures, Feeding, and Growth
Browse the documented Cambrian creatures or choose a care guide for the animal already on your ranch. Feeding explains compatible food and the keyboard action; growth explains stages; troubleshooting checks Belly; partner and riding pages separate following from the maturity needed for a ride.
Care follows the creature you actually hatchBrowse Prehistoric Farm Cambrian creatures, use compatible food, and check the Belly and life-stage conditions behind ranch growth.

Care follows the creature you actually hatch
The six documented Cambrian creatures are Trilobite, Pikaia, Wiwaxia, Hallucigenia, Opabinia and Anomalocaris. Their rarities and movement labels differ, but each needs five fossils for its egg. That first-period roster is not a complete creature list for all islands. An animal’s rarity or habitat alone does not establish a diet or a guaranteed drop probability.
Keep Belly above half full so growth continues. Match food to the dinosaur’s diet and check the actual fullness after feeding. On keyboard, put compatible food in the hotbar, approach the creature on the ranch and press F. Meat-eaters can also use player-caught fish. Newborn, Juvenile, Subadult, Adult and Elder describe growth stages; selecting a partner is a separate following relationship. Riding is documented from Subadult. If the creature seems stalled, check its Belly and stage before searching for an unrelated purchase or an assumed mount key.

Care follows the creature you actually hatch: questions
Can fish feed every dinosaur?
Fish is documented for meat-eaters; match other food to the creature’s diet.
When does riding become relevant?
Riding is documented from Subadult and later, after the opening hatch stage.
