So now you have your little egg and I'm sure you'd like to know what to expect....well, that can be taken care of.
A griffin starts life as an egg straight from the hatchery. After being put in its new home, the egg will most likely hatch after a day or so.
Once the egg hatches, the griffin will be a hatchling. They are quite adorable at this stage but are also very vulnerable. It is important to protect them constantly otherwise any number of bad things could happen
After a week, the hatchling will become a griffinling. This is when they start to get VERY rambunctious....much like a human child. They are stronger though still very small. There is no need to protect them as much but its a good idea to keep an eye on them
Three weeks of age and the griffin is now a fledgling. At this age, the griffin starts to become interested in the opposite sex and will most likely seek out a mate. They will begin to try their wings and learn to fly.
During the fourth week, the griffin becomes an adult. It may now mate, have children of its own and leave its lair freely.
No wedding is necessary to bond a pair of griffins....moreso, the pair just comes to an agreement that they will henceforth be known as mates. After they have bonded, they may legally go on the mating flight which lasts anywhere from a few hours to a day. To propose, a male screeches as loudly as he can....the louder the screech, the more he loves his female. The female returns his screech to accept or hisses at him to refuse.
A female's gestation lasts all of about three days before she lays a clutch of eggs ranging from 2-4 in a clutch. The eggs take perhaps a day to mature and then are available for adoption. The parents may each keep one egg per hatching...no current limit has been set on the number people are allowed to keep but they may only have one egg per hatching....this means don't apply for five eggs each time some are available.
Well....I think that's about it actually.
