I've been playing Pet Shop Mogul for a few minutes and it is very nice and all but I have a complaint. I think that nice looking guy in the staff page should forbid selling pets for 1€ because that ruins the market and is not realistic.

Pet reproduction frequencies should also be limited. I think that pets should not try to reproduce more than 1x per day because that's... well... gross!

(Make an exception for rabbits)

You can't stop nature. Some animals, rabbits both included and excepted, probably reproduce well over one time per day, or at least try to. We are not going to forbid selling pets at €1.00 simply because it is within game rules. I'm sorry, but we cannot help you with this.

@echoney: I can assure you the last time I heard someone say that is well over 2 years ago.

Start off with the Hippos. Although you may not be able to afford more than a couple, they are profitable. :wink:

I disagree. Hippos are too large for most cities. Try selling some in Hong Kong. No one has the space to bring them home.

You should start with smaller animals. They are much more affordable, eat less and will breed much faster.

If you MUST have hippos, then I suggest you get only one. Then join an alliance with other hippo breeders and let them... well... get together.

Smaller animals aren't economical. Their markets are pretty saturated.

Take Hong Kong as an example, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of rats all over the streets. No one is going to buy any when they could just catch a couple in the diner that frequent :wink:

Using Hong Kong as a further example, many of the high-rise apartments have rules that prohibit the residents from keeping dogs, and some even cats. The Hong Kongers are paranoid about avian flu as well so they are not going to keep birds. There is no rule that prohibits hippos and no health issues are of concern. :lol:

That's the unrealistic part of this game. In real-life, people would want clean rats, not street rats. In PSM, they just don't care.

Well... "regardless whether it is a black rat or a white rat, if it could run away from a cat, it is a good rat". :lol:

I think that a way to lessen saturation would be if we could pick a few details when ordering new animals.

I'd like to be able to choose eye colour, fur length and colour, leg length, tail length, number of spots (for dalmatians, particularly), mood disposition, you name it.

Then we should not have just one price per animal but instead a multitude of small items that would add up. And you would have to set a different price for each and every minor detail.
