I've noticed recently that I've been struggling to sell off my babies even at fodder price, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me?

smellyseagull Are you hawking them around the Find a Dragon board? Selling dragons is less about finding the right price than the right buyer.

Part of it is rule number 1 of dragon selling on the site: Selling dragons is
hard
Everyone can breed lots of dragons, with next to no barrier to starting to do so.
Some exceptions are having some highly desirable gen1 dragon, low ID numbers, newest breed or genes, a few other things, and these can go to auctions often times.
The next is "the customer is always right" which means you need to be selling what people want to buy. If your dragons aren't currently what people are looking to pay more than fodder for then your dragons sell at fodder price.
Then there is marketing, listing a dragon on the AH means a buyer has to be searching for your dragon or stumble across it as an expiring listing in that short window. It can be done by making a thread in Dragons for Sale, with bumping, putting something in your signature and maybe your profile, or offsite on Tumblr, Discord, not sure what other places get enough views but that doesn't mean they aren't there. Depending what qualities your dragons have, ping lists can be found to alert potential buyers.
And marketing isn't simply listing a link if the space has room for me, it can be adding the details, scries of possible genes or maybe outfits, explaining why people can't go get a dragon like yours because yours is special or not for cheaper anyways.
As an aside, I didn't touch on the Find a Dragon subforum because I never go there anymore. If it works for you, great.

Dragon supply > demand. There's not much you can do about it unfortunately.

If you're selling at just fodder price, named dragons will sell slightly faster than unnamed ones. It saves exalters the effort of doing it (incrreases desirability) and I know some who only buy named so that they don't have to face the "why did you name my dragon....?!" messages.
