Yes, with the increase in food required to level up the rift dragons, it is a real juggling act try and balance things out.

When I first started DragonVale, I tried to level all the dragons up to level 11 initially, then as treats allowed, increase them to level 16. Then as time went on, all new dragons were levelled up to level 16 immediately.

Because this is all so new, there is a lot of demand for the Etherium and treats for new dragons. I do feel that this will become easier and more manageable with time.
