Abandon

Abandoning is an action available to unfrozen hatchlings and eggs. This can be used if you no longer want the dragon is question; you can then abandon it, and it will go to the Abandoned Page (AP). Here, another user can pick it up. Eggs from multi-clutches will be auto-abandoned on the hour, unless you pick one, in which every one except the one chose will be abandoned.

The AP has a short description above it:

"Once an egg has been touched by a human, the human's scent rubs off onto the egg. The mother dragon then will reject the egg and no longer be able to tell that it is her own. That's why these abandoned eggs and hatchlings are just sitting outside the cave, dying, and the mother dragon isn't doing anything about them."

Eggs and hatchlings abandoned gain a day the first time they're abandoned. However, this time can not exceed 7 days.

Hatchlings and rares are often seen on the AP, although they are usually picked up quickly.

If you accidentally click a egg from the main cave which you do not want, you can abandon it, but you need to wait five hours. This is to make the five-hour wait more desirable (as killing an egg still counts on your scroll as a live one for a day) and prevent people from taking unwanted commons in the main cave, and simply abandoning them into the AP. However, there is no such restriction for eggs picked up on the AP, or bred eggs.

Hatchlings occasionally grow up on the AP, and you may catch a glimpse of one. However, you cannot pick them up- the dragon will automatically be sent to the wild.

If the AP exceeds four lines, it will block the cave, meaning that no eggs from the main cave can be picked up until it goes down to four lines. This will be accompanied by the description:

"The cave is blocked by a huge pile of abandoned eggs. Maybe you should help clear it out by taking one."
