...so it's okay to send ordinary stream creatures to Master Belmos (via Nursery Helper)? ones that aren't from an event or anything, just regular old permanent stream eggs?

what about if it's like... a couple of thousand ordinary stream eggs that you want to send? is that considered rude or anything? or too many? we've been doing a lot of stream-cleaning because we're catching specific creatures for other players, and we're not sure if it'd be bad form to dump off a whole load of common stream-babies on the nursery.
plural they/them.

I stream clean to find the eggs I need/want, so that means I wind up with LOTS of frozen stream eggs. I send them to Master Belmos/Nursery Helper, usually in batches of 1k. I have a tab in my Keep just for the frozen eggs I plan to send in the next batch.

I rejoined MS about a year ago, after 4 years of Hiatus. I had over 6k frozen eggs in my keep (a couple I had been hoarding but decided to part with.)
So I sent over 6k with of eggs, normal everyday stream eggs to Mr B. And I’m pretty sure that others have sent more. So nah, it’s not rude or anything ^_^

I've always worried the same thing, honestly! I only freeze sometimes, so to hear others send thousands makes me wanna Stream clean more. Good to know it's normal! What exactly does Belmos do with the eggsicles, though?

Master Belmos can unfreeze eggs. Those he's sent get unfrozen, hatched, and sold, often for special events. He's been hatching a lot lately, to the joy of my gold pile. :-)
Feel free to click my entire keep. Anything I don't want to grow is protected.

When Master Belmos sends eggs to Nursery Helper, he sometimes send several thousand eggs at a time. It's ok to send like that. It's also ok to split the eggs into a few separate trades and send them. However it is convenient to you is fine with Nursery Helper.

Again, you can send any type of eggs, parentless, bred or lineages. The parentless does not have to be shop or event or anything like that. Stream eggs are perfectly ok to send. Even hatched creatures, frozen creatures, adults you do not want anymore. Any creatures is welcome ^_^

I usually send my frozen eggs (& whatever extra creatures are also going to Belmos) in batches of around 300-400 because I just get annoyed having more than that in my Belmos tab, but I know I've sent a few larger ones as well.
