I have just given it some thought and I don't really want to stray from my 4-element breeding agenda, which gives me several options.
I already have a Pumpkin Panda (4 actually : P) and a Chocolate Rabbit. It would be good strategy to not aim for the Thanksgibbon and Magnetic Mouse as aiming for them has fewer good outcomes (for me at least).
If I combine these parameters the most attractive breeding options for me are the following ones:
1) nature-earth-fire-water: this can give 8 (!) of the 10 animals. The Thanksgibbon and Magnetic Mouse cannot be obtained with this combination.
2) dark-fire-electric-earth: this can give 4 of the 10 animals, but all four of them are really nice. I do already have a Chocolate Rabbit though and the fails are long.
3) gem-nature + water-earth: this can give 6 of the 10 animals and gives chances at a gem hybrid too.
4) gem-nature + fire-earth: this can give 6 of the 10 animals and also gives chances at gem hybrids and it gives chances at the Stuffin Puffin. Not entirely unattractive.
5) gem-nature-earth: this is a 3-element breeding so no chances at a Unicorn. It's like doing straight nature-earth breedings with a chance at a gem hybrid thrown into the deal. 4 of the animals can be obtained this way. I have a Pumpkin Panda and of the other three I only particularly like the Unicornucopia. Probably this is the least attractive breeding option for me.
In order to select the best breeding option(s) for me, I'll try to figure it out by elimination:
-I already have a Chocolate Rabbit and 4 Pumpkin Pandas.
-I don't particularly like the Sapybara, Dripmunk nor Harvest Hedgehog.
-I do particularly like the Thanksgibbon, Magnetic Mouse, Unicornucopia, Cold Turkey, Mamaroo.
The above doesn't really narrow it down much. The desired ones still have all of the distinct elements in them.
I'll probably not try to breed the Magnetic Mouse: the sale price is very good and the fails are the longest of all of them all. This may be the best one for me to buy.
I may also keep an option open on buying a Mamaroo. It is cheap and I tried so hard for that one before. And... it is the only earth-fire outcome that I need from these limited animals. And... earth-fire is the combination I least like to breed with.
So, it seems like options 3 and 1 may be best for me....
If anyone managed to breed any of these animals I hope they post about it here.
