What is a jerboa used for? jerboa battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For early game noobies, this little guy has many uses, easy to tame, detects the weather change, and is a small packpack ruducing see it weight. Also if you are not looking to tame one, they seem to be good sources for hide early game, often giving more than a parasaur from my experience.
In my experience, the jerboa has the highest weight stat of all shoulder pets in ASA. I have not tamed a Pyromane yet tho. Every other shoulder pet has very little weight (usually 70 or so on decent levels) but jerboas have usually triple digit weight stats. They also have a reduction of their weight when you pick them up.
Great if you need to carry resources by hand for any reason.
So I just made a sever then I looked for a base I saw a PINK jerboa and so I punched her till she 😴 tamed her then I put her in my house, she started waving her tail and farting a LOT I thought she was constipated, then like 2-3 mins later there was a thunderstorm so thanks person who pulled up a tip that told me that she WASENT constipated
