*appears with a flourishing bow*
Greetings to all my fellow dragon raisers.
I have made this over the current panic from eggs dying but my information can apply to any time and has helped many raise their babies.
I have been lurking in this guild ever since I got my first dragons, right before the sprite update. At this posting I have raised 50 dragons and only had 2 die on me. I belong to both this guild and a private one, The Dragon's Lair. We have an incubator in ours and we have collected much information to how to help raise your dragons.
I post it here, may it serve you well.

~Weredrome edit
He cleared this with me, so I hope the rest of my fellow mods will allow him to make this. We need it.

First off, how to keep your dragons healthy.
I keep my dragons in my signature. This does cause problems with me as I tend to frequent one thread and few others.
When I find that they are sick I usually put in one of my other babies or replace it with an adult. I usually have multiple immature dragons at one time just for this reason. Your sig is the best way to get your dragons views without doing more work than just posting.
It also helps if you don't put an egg in your sig the first day you get it. It seems that if you bombard your new egg with an explosion of views, it can actually kill the egg. We have had quite a few essentially implode from to much love.

Now for getting as many unique views as possible.
The people who look after our egg incubator are very dedicated. We look over all the scrolls, collect up new dragons and walk those that have passed under the 3 day mark and need to hatch or mature.
So a lesson in dragon walking.
This is simply when you wander though a bunch of threads and post your babies. Dragon spamming it could be also called. We have a bunch of threads that we frequent, none of us have been yelled at yet for it.
A sample post looks like this:

Lastly I wish to say that I know from experience of being a mod in a dragon nest. Our guild is small but we still have our problems. I ask that you all be patient, and also help your dragons along by taking some advice. I am not here to lecture, only to help.
And I leave you with a few last bits. Not to help you raise dragons but rather for your own amusement.

a. Gaia Image Petition
KageSora has a petition (with nearly 200 names) to get the DragonCave website added to Gaia's White List for images. Want to see your dragons again without all the current hassles? Then click this link and sign the petition.

b. Dragon Name Generator
Now you have your dragon but figure out what to name him or her? We found this nifty dragon name generator link.

c. TJ's Scroll (creator of the Dragon Cave)
TJ09 scroll "as I know some of us like to occasionally view the scroll of the dragon master."

Sorry about the duplicate at the Dragon Cave forum! I am kinda new there!

Can I offer my quest thread as a dragon friendly gaian thread? I'd be more than happy to have some dragons wander through anytime and won't consider it spam.

I have 4 eggs right now and one adult. If I wanted to adopt a new hatchling could I?

No, 4 eggs at a time or 4 hatchlings is the limit on new adoptions.

Thank you for the information - I'm sure I can help my eggs to hatch and grow up now!

Kay, I just had a few questions, I believe that eggs can hatch as early as in 3.5 days, but is it the same for hatchlings? How soon can they grow their wings? I ask this because I wait for gender before naming, makes things easier. At any rate, I also wish to know, if I have 4 hatchlings, and 3 eggs, I know I can't adopt anymore, but does that also mean that my eggs cannot hatch? These are some of my concerns, and I would be very pleased if I could have some answers, thank you for your time.
