I am having this issue that when I click my own creatures they have their % raised by a lot just via 1 click — as in about 20—30%. This is preventing me from being able to freeze hatchies over 90% for my collection. Is there a way to fix this?
This happens only on the initial click. So your best bet is to start growing hatchlings from around 60%- subsequent clicks will only grow them the normal amount.
When was this implemented? I have a Doni hatchie at 70% that I am too afraid to click it. Is there any possible way to bypass this?
Around February, I think. There's no way to bypass it as far as I'm aware, other than making sure you click the egg/hatchling every 12(?) hours to keep the "Recent Clicks" list from resetting because every time that happens then the next click will count as the first and it'll get a jump in percentage.

If you buy the Spell of Protection from the Trading Post, it'll allow you to protect any tab except the main one. Click on the tab you want to protect, and a "Protect Tab" button will be at the end of the menu. Creatures in protected tabs can be seen by anyone, but gain no growth.

There's also a Spell of Cloaking in Remy's Inn, similar principle, but creatures in hidden tabs can only be seen by you (and I think admins).

Hello, I was wondering if the Stream resets at certain times. I've noticed that at some time all 9 of the eggs in the stream completely changes and I was wondering if this happens at regular intervals or not? Thanks so much!
Please click. Much love <3

The stream refreshes every 15 minutes on the xx:00, xx:15, xx:30, and xx:45 minute marks. :italian:

Small question, what does hidden in trade mean? I probably know I’m just confused, can you protect the creatures percentage this way?

Yes, that is correct. If you have a creature in a trade, they will not grow.

You can also protect creatures from growing by buying the Spellof Protection from the Trading Post.

Dumb question (as I'm sure it's been answered/mentioned somewhere) but I noticed some people having up to five unfrozen eggs... Did the number of unfrozen eggs we can have permanently go up at some point and there wasn't a regular announcement... Or...?
If so, when did it happen and where was it mentioned?
~by the way, I meant regular eggs, not including donation bred ones. Though, at the moment, I can't even remember if those are exempt from the limit to begin with... apologies, my coffee hasn't taken affect yet. :t-sweat: ~
[editted for clarity]
<3 Thank you! <3

Yes, Madd changed it permanently to five a few months ago, at the same time that she put in a click boost for new eggs (or things that hadn't been clicked in a while). There wasn't an announcement. You can now have five regular eggs + 2 donation eggs.
