One of the factors that makes WW on LW fluctuate more in price (with lower averages) is that den space on LW hasn't increased since the site launched iirc. So max den have 500 slots, which is heaps until you get into a few real intensive breeding projects & then start collecting beasts for future ones. FR has had a few den increases, especially with the Hibden, so people can luxuriate over their space and chuck a few meh guys on the back burner without feeling it too bad.
Other than that, usual spiel; this is a game where you have to find your own fun to succeed, cuz there are no comms from the devs. They are not interested, so we know very little in what's going on behind the scenes. Could be tons, could be nothing, we got no clue. The posts you see weekly are automated. Don't expect near the interactivity of FR, and FR's comms are not that great despite the buzzing dev activity on the forums. That said, you can still find a lot to do here for a while, especially if you like achievements-- and if you take a break, the dogs will have full stamina and be waiting on you.
To farm moonstones (the premium currency) I always suggest starting a frog farm. Grab a basidio companion, grab 2 other companions that give pebbles every hour for each frog you pick up. When those companions are all level 10, you can use the frogs to level wolves to 10 without needing to waste precious early-game stamina during the process and not lose money to Nana in the process. You won't make a ton of pebbles like that, but the point is just to avoid losing more than you make to Nana. Then you release those level 10 rando fodder wolves to get a Knucklebone token (KB). 50 of those acts like an egg on FR, generating a random WW. After the shine wears off of generating them for yourself, you can sell those KB tokens to people that love the gacha thrill of cracking them for moonstones. Those will be important for expanding your den, cuz that goes up by 10ms every time you buy one. Slots in the dens are pebbles, thankfully.
The best pebble making companions come from the quarterly holidays, they give you more pebbles/hour than other companions on their rarity tier. Why, who knows, probably to make them appealing and make ya wanna grind the tickets to get more of 'em!
Then re: stamina, the best way to manage that is to keep up with turning off food you don't wanna auto-feed on accident (the button for that is in your den page). The best way to utilize the cooking pot is to completely ignore the complex recipes and just cook raw meat and fish. Per minute and per slot, that will actually get you way more stamina to pass out to your wolves than any of the complex meals, even the best ones. If the complex recipes gave you more than one item per craft, that wouldn't be the case; but alas, despite ample suggestions they do not.
If you choose to utilize farming, some of the blue rarity farming meals become worth it if you are going to farm a lot in a day, so you have to babysit that mobile game timer style minigame less. Farming becomes an ok producer of food once you unlock nuts and carrots, which are best just fed raw to the dogs. I don't normally bother, and still have thousands more fish and meat than I can cook, which really helps during those quarterly holidays when you want to grind campaign real hard for tickets.
Next quarterly is in January, so you got a decent amount of time to prepare a lil' bit. Folks here tend to be real generous to other players 'cause it's so easy to become inundated with resources if you don't waste them all grinding, so if you are having trouble keeping up, you can probably find a generous donor of cooked or raw foods around that time. People tend to open up charity raffles, giveaways, etc, during those events.
