Arrrrrrh! I had been waiting until a Volcamel fail could be sped with 6 gems. I sped him out of the nest and tripped on over to the store to just go ahead and purchase a Mamaroo egg. Aaaaaand they're gone! I swear I had just been in the shop looking at it and waiting for that timer. Oh well, decision was made for me. I tried non stop to breed her and the chocolate rabbit.
I did buy the rabbit yesterday and then gave breeding one last shot. Now I have gems to burn. I broke down when the gem sale went to 30% and bought some so I could be assured to have buying power.
