Guess I've been slow on the learning curve. It's taken me some time to realize that, unless you're collecting constantly, there's no benefit to increasing low level monsters' happiness. They just don't provide enough coin to make it worth it. Maybe I'll buy a few things for only the highest level monsters as suggested here.

As for wishing torches, after getting two Ghazts with three torches lit, I stopped lighting just to see what would happen and got a third after numerous tries. Because I was spending all my money on feeding, I chose not to purchase torches on the other islands and still ended up with a Grumpyre and a Reebro--eventually. So it can be done. I just question whether the torches are really doing anything to increase breeding chances or if it's actually pure luck.
