Like a lot of things with Dragonvale, it comes down to patience and how much dragoncash you are willing to sacrifice to speed up your game.

Let's say a new dragon gets released that is cool or is a "must have". Let's also say that you "absolutely must" breed with the best odds; level 20 dragons. The new dragon happens to use a pair of dragons that you own but yours are only level 15 at the moment. By this example, you would want to level the dragons up to level 20 in the quickest time possibile so you could begin breeding the dragons with the best odds.

Now (assuming you have the max amount of farms), using Sarjin Peppers you would have to be glued to the game for more than 2 hours straight and checking every minute or so. That is not really realistic (unless you have gobs of free time to play the game in which case I am extremely jealous). It would also be painstakingly laborious.

A more efficient approach might be to use Beanstalks. It would take roughly 9-10 hours of breeding time to get the necessary treats but you only need to check back once every hour (if you time it right). This approach will take, realistically, the better part of two days to level up both your dragons before you are breeding at the max potential.

Now, using the cacti-snack you can level up a dragon in just 4 hours; less than a day for two. The question you have to ask yourself: "Is the faster time to speed up my game worth it to me for the extra costs?"

Granted, not everyone will have enough dragoncash where this comes into play. For those that do, I guess it's a great problem to have. Wish I had problems like that!
