Start with A Strange Egg, then use Arena bones to level your first pet
Start at A Strange Egg in the base. A September 16 current-build walkthrough observed a $60 Food Bowl hatching a Level 1 Frog; then use the Treat Bowl with Arena bones, TO ARENA, and the PETS fusion screen, following the live server whenever its values differ.
This beginner route pairs the official loop with the September 16 observed starter egg, bowl, bone, Arena, and PETS-screen steps, plus a live-server fallback whenever the current UI differs.
Evidence label: the loop is official; the starter controls and values are one September 16 walkthrough's current-build observations, not permanent creator documentation.
When the live UI differs, follow its displayed name, price, requirement, and preview. See the checked sources before treating a value as fixed.
