Dinosaurs need to be fed in order to live. They will each eat 1 serving of food per day automatically after an Advance Time from their trough, which you can see on your Pen page or on the dino's page. To get more food, you need to go to the Silver shop and buy food, then go to your inventory and use the food to add it to your Pen's inventory. The Feed All button can then be used to top off the dino's trough. Don't worry if you can't refill it all the way though! As long as there is at least one serving of food in their trough they will not go hungry.

To breed your dinosaurs you must have 1 male and 1 female dinosaur. Any species can breed with any other. Pets that are dual gender can act as the male or the female in the breeding. Pets that are Agender cannot breed. Pets must also not be locked or on breeding cooldown in order to breed again.

Once you have decided on your pair of dinosaurs, go to the Account tab, and click Breed. You can pick your dinosaurs out of the dropdown menus on this page. Click Breed, and your pets will produce an egg that can be found in your Pen.

All pet images are updated at about midnight, so the image will automatically grow up at that time. However you can manually update the image if you go to the Edit tab and click Refresh Image. That will make the image update right away so you don't have to wait.

Right now all the available breeds for Mesozoic Manor hit adulthood at 7 days old. To reach that age, their owner needs to log in and Advance Time in the top Explore navigation tab 7 times. The days do not need to be consecutive for this to work! It's perfectly okay to stop in and Advance Time whenever you have the time. Your dinos will not be hurt in any way by a delay.

To enter contests, go to the page of the dinosaur you wish to enter. Click the Contests tab. There is a dropdown with a listing of the contests that are available for your dinosaur to enter. Choose one, and click the Enter button to the right.

To withdraw from contests, go to the page of the dinosaur you wish to withdraw. Scroll down to the Current COntest Entries table, and find the contest you would like to remove them from. Click Withdraw on the right of that listing.

Once each real life day you can click Advance Time in the Explore menu. Pressing it more than once will have no effect. When you click this button the first time each day, the following things will happen:

-You will recieve your salary for the day if you have less than 10,000,000 silver.
-Your pets will age up by one day.
-Your pets will eat 1 serving of food.
-Any cooldowns on your pet will decrease by one day.
-Pets that have not beed fed and have run out of food will have their health reduced by 1 point.
-Your Explore moves will be reset back to 30 moves.

Absolutely nothing. The only things that happen automatically each night are those which do not affect dinosaurs like contests being run and Advance Time being made available again for all users. If you can't log in your dinos will be just as happy and healthy as they were when you were last on the site. The only time dinosaurs age or need food is when you use the Advance Time button to move on to the next day. I know a lot of people work or have school and Mesozoic Manor is meant to be a fun, stress free place to relax when you want to play with pretty dinosaurs.

Items can be used from the Inventory page found under the Account tab. Go to your inventory and find the item you want to use. If that item needs you to choose a pet or gene locus to use it, there will be a dropdown menu. Make sure these are correct, and click Use Item.
