I started recently and stopped for a while because I had the same question, I did not know for the longest time that I can feed other people’s creatures! Being able to do that has certainly opened the site up for me.

@Ian Hmm, does the site often have issues with a lot of auto feeders and scripts and such? Is there a way to track where it's originating?
(I'm realizing maybe feeding scripts and such aren't actually against the rules here? Playing another petsite game for over a decade that had strict rules again...

Daylight Savings Time begins in a few hours
(for anyone new, time change usually causes a few glitches around the site. Don't be alarmed, Ian the site owner usually has it worked out in a day or two.)

The bot check appears to have stopped on EC for now, in my case too, but I'm not sure it's fully over. Still, as others have said, the site has become so laggy (which hasn't happen before and I know it not my network as other simallair type sites load 100% fine) that when I do the click task(s), the...

@Ian @tehuti88 If only the site could be defended from bots without bogging down the site. :/

tehuti88 • 4 March 2026 at 3:59 PM

I use Brave browser and get the bot check multiple times per session, not every page load but if I go idle or to another site for a few minutes (while Egg Cave is still open in another tab), I get the verification again. Sometimes I have to check a box, sometimes not.

Yesterday I got the bot chec...

Ian • 4 March 2026 at 3:59 PM

@snowywinter of course!

The site is holding stable after turning "under attack" mode off. This means that whatever the attack was, it's likely over. But if bot checks return, it's because they're attacking again.

veritaspunk • 4 March 2026 at 3:39 PM

@Ian I randomly interact on the site throughout a 24 hour period it seems every time I need to take a break for more than a few minutes it bot checks again but in general the site is a lot slower within the activities like cove, feeding etc. Yesterday it was even slower for me, but if the Valentines...

snowywinter • 4 March 2026 at 3:38 PM

Thank you Ian for letting us know! < 3

Here's hoping for the longevity of the site; we can get through this together.

@snowwall
I hate getting messages like that. But Literally my preferred browser works so much nicer, the mainstream ones are soooo slow or display things weird with each new...

veritaspunk • 4 March 2026 at 3:31 PM

Yeah, I noticed the site running with 7 cookies, whereas It is usually 6 for me. At least most of this has started between events, as it has slowed things down on this site where it's just annoying to use rather than relaxing and engaging. ☹️

granitore • 4 March 2026 at 2:38 PM

Hm, so this bot check is probably why my site is so slow today ... and yesterday too, my click speed slowed to a crawl (or what feels like it) ,

also i can SEE the check when i visit the site / popping up ever so often when i change to a new part of this website, fact is: in the week itself i do...

gngdia • 4 March 2026 at 9:01 AM

They implemented/updated cloudflare. Probably did it last night/yesterday and that's why the website was so slow for everyone (me included). The cloudflare messages popping up so often are indeed annoying. I get one each time I come back to the site or whenever I turn back on my internet.

kataclysm • 4 March 2026 at 5:41 AM

@Ian - Please read this thread, if you haven't already. Your userbase is crying out for updates and pointing out the stagnation of a site that they love and want to support. Why do we not hear from you more frequently in these spaces where we're supposed to be brainstorming with the staff?

I app...

dragongirl02 • 3 March 2026 at 10:52 PM

I know this is being looked into, but I wanted to mention I saw it anyway incase anyone is counting how many players saw it, and I wanted to add my concern: I've been seeing this on other sites too, and it’s causing a real headache. I often have to move quickly—it's a combination of racing against t...

tehuti88 • 3 March 2026 at 9:08 PM

The website is quite slow for me today (I'm about to give up the idea of feeding more and hope for better luck tomorrow), and if I'm idle for a moment or so and then attempt to navigate somewhere again, it sends me to a page to verify I'm not a malicious bot. So far it keeps allowing me through, but...

spookyfrog • 3 March 2026 at 3:48 PM

Bringing this back to the surface because a lot of these are good ideas that deserve to be implemented.
Its been two years since i was last on this site. and it's crazy how nothing has changed. At the very least I want to see the quantity of alive creatures of a specific species next to the popula...

stormwarden • 1 March 2026 at 11:31 PM

this would be so helpful!! i'd definitely trade more if i had access to a feature like this

spell • 1 March 2026 at 8:45 PM

Right now, when using the "Quick add creatures..." feature in an existing cove list, adding any species to your list will scatter them throughout the list (not based on any order it seems), instead of adding them all at the bottom. Is it possible to fix this so that the new creatures added all appea...

heatherm19 • 1 March 2026 at 6:29 AM

Not me literally tearing up here. Look at the adults!! How amazing that this community came together and produced these adults that would otherwise take literal *years* to achieve. This is the type of community energy I fell in love with when I joined this site!
@isis Thank you so very very much f...

@epicsandwich15 welcome to Egg Cave! Hope you will like it. Here is the Newbie's Guide where you can find answers if you have any questions about the site 😊

epicsandwich15 • 26 February 2026 at 4:59 AM

hello,stumbled upon this site on accident
looks interesting though,may stop by and I'm mostly looking for friends,to chat & stuff

demeownic • 25 February 2026 at 6:31 AM

i do love to support egg cave when i can, considering the site is still up and adding new things after so many years, and still ad-free, too. but even i can agree that the number of feeds is a bit much ^^;;

it's nice to see such an effort uniting the community, though. i hope similar things can c...

glitterkitty • 25 February 2026 at 2:22 AM

Hi! I'm Glitter ❤️
I found stumbled upon this site when I saw someone's egg in their forum sig on another site, and thought I'd check it out since I've been looking for some new fun 😊

So I am here now! Hope to meet some awesome people and collect some awesome critters!

snowywinter • 24 February 2026 at 12:08 AM

Glad I saw this thread earlier or I'd take it as it was an issues with my tablets (no update, but suddenly images stopped showing on the older ones.) But then after 11 PM, got the broken image links here (Eggcave) on my "good" tablet. ...whew, sigh of relief, images still work on other sites.

O....

cosmia • 23 February 2026 at 11:42 PM

@flipper I agree. I think it is an issue with this site.

@zpengwin The images have been off and on with being broken all day for me.

@pet_cemetery I did too at first lol.

flipper • 23 February 2026 at 11:24 PM

I'm having the same issue. Seems to be a site problem, as my pets have no issues displaying on other sites. Clearing the cache doesn't seem to work either.

Edit: Images are now broken on other sites as well

cosmia • 23 February 2026 at 6:46 PM

Every creature on this site appears to me as a broken image today no matter what browser I use and even does this on mobile. Anyone have any idea why?

snowywinter • 22 February 2026 at 11:03 AM

It was missing for me too for a few hours last night. (From about 8 PM and then the next time I checked after 11 was about 1am and it was back.)

minnie298a • 21 February 2026 at 10:38 PM

@heatherm19
After seeing this, I went and checked, and it's missing for me too. Not sure how long it's been missing though as I normally don't pay attention to it.

heatherm19 • 21 February 2026 at 9:52 PM

What the title says. Specifically, is anyone else who usually sees the bait feature when approaching the cave suddenly not seeing it?
I noticed this earlier today, I've since restarted browser/computer and cleared cache and it's still not there.
