What is a jerboa used for? jerboa utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Breeding Tip: Tame 1 Male & Female, level them only in food. These will be your starting breeders since without high food, jerboa babies die within 15 seconds of birth. One you have a baby born with high starting food, take it a mate and level that mate in health only, breed them until you have a baby with high starting health. Now tame a mate for that baby and level it only in weight, mate it with your Food & Health Jerboa to create your Main Breeding Pair and go for the ever popular mutated Cotton Candy Jerboa.
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.
