RP breedings will open up every month. Non-RP breedings will open up every 3-4 months, during events.
General breeding rules
- Breedings cost 40k, trade sent to the colorist of the litter.
Breeding can only occur between a male and a female of the same species.
Females of all species must wait until their current litter reaches adolescence before breeding again.
Babies will grow in 1 month. All other stages are on a 2-4 month growth chart.
Five unsuccessful attempts at breeding will be considered low luck (LL) as long as proof is provided. Keep track of your breeding attempts!
Trades must be sent within 24 hours of receiving your breeding or the litter will be retconned and we will be angry. We will not accept trade until the litter is safe and sound in your inbox.
Females who choose to rogue breed have halved litter sizes.
Non-RP breedings cannot be rogue breedings. You must have a partner (two of your own critters, or another person and their critter).
Adolescents cannot breed.
Non-RP breeding rules
- All general breeding rules apply.
Non-RP breedings will have smaller litters.
Non-RP breedings cannot be rogue breedings. You must have a partner (two of your own critters, or another person and their critter).
RP breeding rules
- All general breeding rules apply.
RP breedings will have larger litters.
You must provide 4 complete (800+ word solos/PRP) RPs for it to count as an RP breeding.
Providing 4 additional RPs (8 total) will add +1 to your litter.
Litter Sizes
Please note: Mammoths and Horses can only have 2 offspring maximum (3 with RP bonus). However, you can opt to customize into the litter. This means that pairings will always have maximum size, always. You can still opt to custom/replace your rolled litter with a custom - the end result will always be a maximum litter of 2, no matter how you go about it (unless you provide +4 RP for the RP bonus of +1).

Rules on litter customs
→Customing into a litter costs 375k, or 75k for familiars.
→Please send trade to your colorist.
→There are two custom-in slots per litter, however, you can custom in to as many litters per month as you like. However, please see the rules on litter sizes for both mammoths and horses, as those have different rules.
→Litter customs must be posted in your colorists thread. You have 48 hours from the time your breeding has been chosen to get those custom forms in!
A note about EDITS
→In the future we may implement a "genetics" type system for edits, but as of right now, the inheritability of edits is purely CC.
→This means that if you post an edited couple for breedings, the chance that they will have edited babies is totally CC! Please don't complain if you don't get edited babies, because again, this is CC for now.
→If you custom into a litter with an edited parent, you can't choose custom edits for that baby. EDITS ARE CC
→The only case where you would have guaranteed edited babies would be if a colorist opened up a slot and guaranteed before-hand that babies would be either 100% edited (with 2 edited parents) or 50% edited (1 edited parent).
→If we do implement a genetics system in the future, it will be very simple: 2 edited parents = 100% edited babies, 1 edited parent = 50% edited babies. We're not going to keep track of some complex genetics system, and you don't have to either.
→If we decide to allow shopgoers to edit pets, those edits will NOT be inheritable.
