Each Level you bring your Pets to increases their impact on some odds. i.e. The turkey at level 1 is something, at level 2 is a lot more of that something...

What is the pets max level?
Will we be able to equip more than one pet at a time?
Does the pet need to be equipped for the odds to work? ... will we be able to have them equipped somehow without them running around ie: add them too the trinket slots.
What are the benefits of the snowman and turkey? I have the reindeer but am unwilling to purchase the other two as I would like the best of both worlds and keep our event pets at my ranch after purchasing... and how rare are the eggs?

I can answer some of the questions:

> Will we be able to equip more than one pet at a time?

No

> Does the pet need to be equipped for the odds to work?

Yes

> ... will we be able to have them equipped somehow without them running around ie: add them too the trinket slots.

No

> What are the benefits of the snowman and turkey?

I'm not sure but I think the devs said that the benefits (bonus) of each individual pet were randomly selected at birth, so they could be different for you - my Turkey gives me "less nothing" and my snowman "+ max mana"

> I have the reindeer but am unwilling to purchase the other two as I would
> like the best of both worlds and keep our event pets at my ranch after
> purchasing...

They will remain on your ranch, until you equip them. When you unequip them, they go back to your ranch. It's pretty cool. When you're at your house, you can even equip them by clicking on them while they'r grasing around.

> What is the pets max level?
> and how rare are the eggs?

No idea! Sorry.

5 might be the highest Level for a Pet, but it might keep on going after that, just look at your achievements.
I guess Ii was wrong, advancing a level of a pet does nothing. It appeared to have doubled the odds of something on one pet but that pets odds were probably glitched when it was born. I'm up to level 4 on another on and it has not changed.

Pets can go to at least level 10 (there's an achievement for it.)

Eggs can only be found when performing the Abandoned Egg quest.

The benefits vary: ex. the Turkey's stat effect increases each level, but the Snowman only increases 1 every 3 levels (1,4, 7, etc.)

Also, not only do unused companions hang around the ranch, you can click on them in the ranch to swap companions (without opening the items menu.)

makes sense, the snowman is the third pet I worked on leveling up past level 2, and its the one I kept on going with because I like its action. Will go to another pet once I reach the first achievement of level 5.

Thanks for the replies :D
To expand a little on a few of my questions, I was hinting at what the future plans for the pets were as it seems rather limited to invest a lot of energy into upgrading your pets but only to have one equipped at a time...

I guess I see it differently - you don't really invest anything at all as all you do is have a pet tag along. It's not like you have to share your exp with your pet. It just happens as an added bonus. That is, if you don't BUY eggs. (Or just buy them with the bush bucks you get for logging in every now and then.)

It's actually a good thing that it takes so long for them to level up, as that gives me more time to accumulate more "free" bushbucks for the next egg.

I kinda see the pet as irritating and laggy at times and would prefer the odds to sit in the background like the trinkets.

Thanks for all your help Marleen :)

One more question ;) Will there be more trinkets in future updates? or are the pets replacing them...?

Would love to see the xp bar on the pet... when it is equipped.

I'd prefer a message that comes up at the bottom of the screen to inform me when the pet is levelling-up, When doing a quick-whack, If the pet level's, You have to click on the requester that appear's... in the middle of the screen.

if I hatch an egg I find, am I able to still hunt for other eggs or I would have to buy them?

Once your Egg is done, at least 6 days because it takes 3 days to hatch it, and 3 more days for it to be ready, then you can probably do the quest to find another egg, and so on. It wouldn't make sense for it to be otherwise. But you have to finish this one first.

Ray is correct. You may have only one Egg in the "Hatch - Grow - Grown" cycle at a time.

At the Facebook group "DJArts Games MANSION" we are currently busy compiling information about pets.

My pet (snowman too bad rather had taken reindeer) is now level 10.
The next achivemnt level is 10 and I got a title for getting my pet to level 10 Apprentice Trainer.

Technically, it only takes 5 days to hatch and nurse your pet. When you complete the third task and it hatches, you get the 4th task right away (without having to wait 20 hours), so you can do two daily tasks in one day (provided you have enough energy).

I don't know if this is a bug, though; it doesn't look like it was intended.

For whatever reason, I still cannot select a pet to level up. There is nothing to select, and clicking on a current pet does nothing. Am I supposed to talk to someone about trading my pets in? Is that how I get the same pet again...trade a snowman for a snowman?

Right now, I have hatched the Kitty, and have 2 more quests to complete before it's mine.
