I personally play Gryffs, which I love. It is a very small site (two admins), and slow with updates, but they are consistent, and responsive to the player base, and the player base itself is very friendly. It is more of a 'breed and dress' your gryffs than FR as it doesn't have mini-games etc.. so it is a much more casual/slower paced game. The breeding is not like FR, but rather based on markings and hex codes.
There is also Sylestia, which recently went through a ban wave that I still don't know who all was banned. However, they are revamping their species (the Faelora, deer, was just recently released) and the coder (again a small team, but I think more than two) wants to basically rewrite the site because it is on a lot of different codes apparently. There were also more recent QOL updates as well. I personally haven't really interacted with the admin, so I don't really know how responsive they really are, but they seem friendly and responsive. They have a bit more to do than gryffs, and the breeding is more complicated than FR.
I do 'play' chicken smoothie, but that is basically just collecting pets, so not a whole lot to do there.
There are other games that I have tried, but they didn't 'click' with me: Felisfire (which I really hate that it didn't click, because I *really* want a cat site like Lorwolf/gryffs/FR, but felisfire isn't it), Khimeros (One person doing it, and a bit too much released for their premium currency for my tastes), Beastkeeper (would have kept playing this one, but it is practically dead, so *very* hard to get anywhere, as you can't buy anything you might need).
There is also Windrose, which wasn't bad, but not to my tastes, Leayphs, which is a sister site to Gryffs, and has a bit more to do, again just didn't click with me, Aywas, which has a huge inflation problem (literally gave away like 10s or 100s of millions of their free currency, and still didn't feel 'wealthy'), Subeta, which seemed more geared towards human Avatars, and Furvilla.
I also just started Lorwolf, and it seems fun, but sadly from the sound of it, probably won't be around long :P
