View source for Life Cycle of a Waja

After using a [[Love Pear]] or [[Ancient Love Pear]] to [[Breeding|breed]] two adult wajas,  the female will become pregnant.  Waja pregnancies last 5 full days.  Her due date and time will be listed on her profile, as well as the father of her pups and the person to whom the pups will be delivered (owner of the mother, owner of the father, or a specific user). On her due date, at ''around'' the time listed (according to [[Wajas Time]]), pups will be born. Depending on the [[Litter Quantity]] (LQ) of the parents, your waja will have somewhere between 1-4 pups.


Once born, wajas will display their '''"Pup"''' image.  All pups of the same breed will have the same appearance and be the same solid color from birth until they are 5 days old.  At this stage you cannot see the waja's true base color, eye color, markings, or mutations on their image.  Items put on waja pups will not show up.  Obviously, wajas in this life stage cannot breed.


At 5 days old, the pups will become '''Adolescents'''.  When their picture is refreshed, they will now display their "Teen" image, which will show their true coat color, but not their true eye color, markings, or mutations.  Though it does not show up in the picture, their eye color is displayed as part of their information under "eye color".  Items put on adolescent wajas will not show up.  Wajas will remain in the adolescent stage of life until they are 12 days old.  Adolescent wajas cannot be bred.


When a waja reaches the age of 12 days, it becomes a '''"Young Adult"'''.  When their picture is refreshed, it will show their "adult" image which features their true base and eye color as well as all markings and mutations.  This is the image they will have for the rest of their life.  Items can now be placed on the waja and show up correctly.  Wajas stay in this life stage until they are 20 days old.  Young Adult wajas cannot be bred.


At 20 days old the waja is finally an '''Adult'''.  Its image will not be different, but it is now finally old enough to breed.  If you're impatient, you can feed an [[Age Pear]] to a pup to make it instantly reach this life stage.  Adulthood is the final life stage of a waja; no matter how much older it gets it will not show signs of aging, nor will it ever die.


Remember! In order for your waja to change appearance, you must click on the icon at the top right to refresh it to see the changes.
