Now.. I've shrugging it off for quite honestly far longer than I should've, And merely because Creating suggestion posts aren't my thing, I haven't bothered to make this suggestion either. Now I'm aware someone else or some other people may be facing the same issues or just the general idea, but I haven't seen a suggestion post so far, so my apologies if you've seen this topic before. And forgive me if i repeat myself or lose my train of thought, I'll try to make thiing as detailed as I can.


As of late, we all know we get daily alerts upon rollover of which lion is about to leave due to starvation or low moods on our profile and our inbox always contains that precious best friend - Daily Rollover Summary.
But the question begs to differ, What about our beetles? What about our precious Larvas? They're not easily obtained, and half the time you might even find one you like whether it'd be a rare base/genetic like the piebald or just the color likr red or crimson or blue, or even the rarity of the insect breed - because we all know we've seen or had at least 1 rare species larva.

However people oftenly say "oh you should've fed them " or "it's so easily, just feed them ever so often." but you have to take in consideration that there are people who are:
* Simply busy
* Easily distracted
* Forgetful against their own will
* Other reason

And so, having to keep track of lioden, and potentional other sites depending on the person of course, and life stuff can be challenging when you [i]want[/i] to raise this larva you want to see it become a bettle, you WANT to see it's coloration, type, bases/genetics.
Whenever you log out, USUALLY the game for you will pause with your lions, kind of freezing them on time till you return to your pride, And it's beautiful it really is, but I've noticed that no matter what, your beetles don't unfortunately share the same safety as your pride.

Every 2-3 days your beetle can go without food, 3rd day is usually risking death but feeding every 2-3 day we save money into buying that food while clevery distributing the rations we have for them and same goes for our maned cats and lionesses. every 3 days you can feed them safely because they're not picky. you accidentally miss a day and it's fine, Lioden WILL Alert you that your lions are starving or low in mood.

But our little beetle warriors don't have that luxury, We are not alerted "New Larva is starving and will soon die out of starvation" No! We get some one upped Alerts on the fact that THEY DIED instead of a friendly reminder! And when you realize it's one of your possible favorites or most prized beetles, you can't help but feel like complete ass because you know you're not getting that precious little bug back. All because you had a complete focus on keeping your pride together, doing your daily routes, maybe some events, or other things here and there thanks to that rollover alert that someone could leave your pride due to their needs not being met, right?
But What about our beetles? it'd be nice to have an alert for the larvas because securing them wont stop them from dying or feeding (and we all know that) it only stops them from being fed to a lion. Itt'd be nice to have our larva included in the rollover summary as well, by giving us the alert that they're hungry and they're about to starve to death, instead of simply alertting us that they died and it's suddenly all our own fault.

For Example:
Day 1 - "New Larva [insertlarvaID] is hungry, make sure to feed it to prevent starvation!"
Day 2 - "New Larva [insertlarvaID] is About to starve to death, be sure to feed them!" *of day 1 has been skipped*

And I just think it would really help so many people who tend to struggle keeping up with things or remembering them, Because like I said there's always going to be that one beetle we like, and if it dies we feel terrible, then goes the second best and third best! But then they die too! If you're lucky ypou'll have some beetles purchased from event stores and you can spawn them in, but it just wont be the same. and the specific breed will have the same rarity on all of the ones of that type. And I'm not talking about just going out to buy a new beetle for GB, I'm talking those you get through luck in exploring or otherwise that doesn't involve buying them from the oasis.
idk I just believe being alerted about a beetle need for food far more than nerely getting kicked in the face with a "oh you beetle died, better luck next time", would be ever so helpful.

I do not expect everyone to agree but I believe there's probabky a few people who might feel the same way I do about this. Because it is really easy to get fed up with losing the beetles you were excited for and then potentionally beating yourself up - harming your mental health by playing the onesided blame game with yourself over the fact you never got that chance to turn your beetle into a warrior or use it to breed out a warrior Y'know.
What are your thoughts on this?

Also keep in mind to respect each others opinion in the comments, no bashing one another due to different opinions - I mean it, it wont be tolerated!

Yes please!

I've had so many little guys die because I forgot to feed them and I didn't know they were starving. It doesn't help that the mound icons are so small.

Same here, it's easily to organize distributing your rations ot save money but that hard part is managing their feeding schedule DX
I always either forget or remember when it's too late, rip my prized beetles :'(

This needs more support
I just lost 4 rare and very special beetles from this sort of thing and it's pissing me off. I paid a lot of currency for a few of them. How can i recall to care for them if there's no notification
Sure i could put a note but it doesn't always work due to my mental disability

A message would be awesome so full support

Support! It seems like it'd be fairly simple to add, and we already have notes in the rollover message and even a den alert for lions so why not beetles too?
