## Basic Nursery

A **nursery** is a Structure used to hatch Eggs. Each island that can have one comes pre-equipped with its own nursery. It can be re-positioned on the island. It cannot be sold. An egg must wait in the nursery until it is ready to hatch. This incubation can be sped up 1 hour per Diamond or by 15 minutes by watching an advertisement video.

Eggs that are ready to hatch can either be placed on the island (which awards Experience) or if there is no room on the island, they can be sold directly from the nursery without placing.

There's a Scratch Ticket game in the Nursery sub-menu. Prizes are various monsters, including limited time monsters such as the Punkleton on Plant Island.

## Nurseries and Teleportation

When a monster that can be teleported has achieved Level 15 or 20, it may be sent to another island. When this occurs, it is removed from the original island and is reborn as an egg on the destination island. This requires the destination island's nursery to be empty in order for the teleportation to occur. Once teleported, it goes through its incubation period in the nursery on its new island. Incubation times for Ethereal Monsters will be different from those on their original islands.

## Upgrades

### Double Nursery

Template:Infobar Premium

> "*It's especially advantageous to have a Double Nursery on hand when seeking special Monsters to add to your collection. Besides, double the Nurseries, double the space for your attempts of breeding. The Monster-Handlers would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you for your support of My Singing Monsters! They couldn't do it without you!*"

It's possible for users who have previously purchased at least one item for the game to buy this Nursery upgrade at a cost of 60 diamonds. After purchasing the upgrade, the Nursery gains another platform and the cap of the mushroom is a different color. Unlike in Dawn of Fire, which the Nursery can have up to 5 platforms, this kind of Nursery can only have two platforms.

Because of the extra space, it could definitely benefit from the Double Breeding Structure, or if the times of each of the parent monster or the intended result have a drastic difference (eg. Noggin + Incisaur).

### Enhanced Nursery

> "*Cutting-edge advances in Monster-Nursology [sic] have culminated in this brand new structure upgrade! The Enhanced Nursery Features a warmer lamp, gnarlier toadstools, and shorter incubation times... 25% shorter that is!*

It is possible to upgrade the Nursery by spending 25 diamonds. This reduces incubation wait times by 25%.

The visible differences in the Enhanced Nursery are that there is an added metal ring around the "bed", an added golden wire, the light is a lot stronger and the large mushroom has larger and leveled spots.

Unlike the Double Nursery, this upgrade can be achieved without purchasing anything.

Since the breeding and hatching times for any given monster are the same and an egg must go through both processes one after the other, there is no benefit to enhancing the Nursery unless you also enhance the Breeding Structure.

However, if a user was to have two Breeding Structures and one Nursery, enhancing the Nursery would provide a 25% increase in speed when both breeders are used. This could be an option if you cannot afford 60 diamonds for a Double Nursery, but can afford 25 diamonds to enhance the existing one. With two Breeding Structures, upgrading the Nursery to a Double Nursery will increase speed as much as 100%. A Double Nursery will yield 4 times the speed of one enhanced Nursery, but with only 2.4 times the cost. The Double Nursery may also be enhanced.

## Notes

* The Gold Islands, Outer Islands, Wublin Island, Superethereal Island, and Celestial Island are the only islands to not have a nursery, because monster eggs cannot currently be brought there.
* Players could send a daily Facebook post of a hatched monster for 1.
