ARK Survival Evolved – How Much Feces is Needed to Tame Dung Beetles

ark-survival-evolved

I have found a dung beetle and knocked it out by mistake. It said its torpor was at 126/200 and I stayed there for around 20 minutes, but it never went down. I left the cave because all of my feces was about to despawn. I will go back at some point soon as I have not played ark in about a day because I was discouraged due to losing a pteridan and a pig. About how much feces and how long will it take to tame a dung beetle, assuming it's level 30?

From the Dung Beetle's wikia page here is the breakdown of what it will take to tame a level 30 Dung Beetle:

  • If you are using Large Animal Feces, it will take 6 pieces, on 3:00 minute intervals, for a total time of 15:00.
  • If you are using Medium Animal Feces, it will take 8 pieces, on a 1:54 minute interval, for a total time of 13:20.
  • If you are using Spoiled Meat, it will take 12 pieces, on a 3:38 minute interval, for a total time of 40:00.
  • If you are using Small Animal Feces, it will take 16 pieces, on a 0:53 minute interval, for a total time of 13:20.
  • If you are using Human Feces, it will take 20 pieces, on a 0:42 minute interval, for a total time of 13:20.
  • If you are using Raw Meat, it will take 80 pieces, on a 1:00 minute interval, for a total time of 1:20:00.
  • If you are using Raw Fish Meat, it will take 200 pieces, on a 0:30 minute interval, for a total time of 1:40:00.
