Found a Hatchling you love? Adopt it!
Regular Mode
Hunt for eggs in regular mode until you find an egg you like, or you can claim an egg from your vault. Once the egg is in the basket at the bottom of your game, click on it to open its Hunting Card. When you do this, you can see what the Hatchling looks like! Click the heart symbol in the right corner of the Hatchling photo to adopt it.
Power Mode or Travel
After hunting a round in Power Mode, take a look at your hunting report. Once you find an egg you like, click the "Share Your Find" button to bring up the Hunting Card. You can adopt a pet by clicking the heart symbol in the top right corner of the Hatchling photo.
Where can I see my adopted Hatchlings?
Your adopted Hatchlings will be displayed at the top of your profile page for you (and other players) to admire. You don't have to take care of them (Hatchlings are very independent), and there's no limit to how many pets you can have, so feel free to adopt as many as you'd like!
Where is the Incubator?
The incubator was a feature in Hatchlings 2 that was not brought over to Hatchlings Next.
