The following is what we learn from last Feedback Friday, 10 March 2017.
Mousehunt Birthday event
The 9th Birthday Event will come to an end on Wednesday, 15 March 2017.
To help hunters who have not finished the Birthday adventure task, each cupcake order now earns you Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby which will help you ship even more orders to maximize your rewards. There is a chance that the dev will allow any Cupcake Order to be canceled on the last day of the event.
Keep in mind that Birthday Treasure Maps will have consolation prizes, so you'll be able to cash those out when the birthday ends even if they're not completed.
Not-that-important information: The potion drop rate is pretty much the same as the previous 2 Birthday events.
Fort Rox expansion - Heart of the Meteor
The devs wrapped up work on the expansion to Fort Rox called Heart of the Meteor. The required rank to access is at least Baron/Baroness rank.
The update will add treasure maps for Fort Rox that can be started by purchasing a Fort Rox Scroll Case from the Cartographer at Fort Rox with Ancient Relic. If you are stuck with the Birthday map, you can close it for Consolation prize.
Fort Rox Treasure Map will have the chance to drop:
Dusting will increase the chance to get these items from the map. These two items can also be purchased and sold on the marketplace and are crafted together to create a Fort Rox Portal Projector which is the key to enter the Heart of the Meteor, the actual inside of the rock.
The completed Portal Projector can be activated by hunting in Dawn at Fort Rox. And then we will be able to use it to enter the Heart of the Meteor for a showdown against the Heart Of The Meteor Mouse. The Portal Projector will be destroyed once activated to enter the Heart of the Meteor. Hence if you want to re-enter the Heart of the Meteor, you will need to create another Portal Projector.
The Heart Of The Meteor Mouse can be attracted and caught using a new cheese called Sunrise Cheese, purchasable from Fort Rox - Cheese Shoppe with Dawn Dust. We do not know the amount of Dawn Dust yet, but Dave said "some Dawn Dust". Remember that each time you enter the meteor you'll need to craft a new Portal Projector, so make sure you're well prepared with ample cheese as more than 1 Sunrise Cheese might be required to weaken the Heart of the Meteor mouse. It works similarly to the King Grub Mouse in the Sand Dunes.
The drop of the first caught Heart Of The Meteor Mouse will drop little energized piece of meteor which is the component for the newest Law Trap, with 3000 power and +8 luck and purchasable from Fort Rox - Trapsmith. It will be the brightest and shiniest Law Trap of them all. The mouse will also drop 6 digit amount of Gold, but the devs are still adjusting the value and power of the mouse. It has the chance to also drop Silver Bolt and Animatronic Bird.
Spring Egg Hunt event
The Spring Egg Hunt begins on Tuesday, 11 April 2017.
The Spring Egg Hunt is coming next month and hunters can expect a hunt similar to years' past. You'll be visiting various locations where you can collect Charge Charms and other supplies, then spread throughout the Kingdom in search of all sorts of hidden eggs! Some new eggs will be introduced.
You might want to start preparing yourself to hunt the eggs by reading through the following recommendations:

Recommended Eggs to hunt in Spring Egg Hunt 3
Dave mentions about an egg in Twisted Garden area containing Shattering Charm
"That sounds adorable, the Tiny Egg (from Tiny Mouse)" - said Dave while writing down the suggestion from a player
There will not be a Battering Ram Egg.
Bristle Woods Rift
Bristle Woods Rift is a Grand Duke/Grand Duchess location and arrives in May 2017.
The art team wrapped up their concept work and have finished work on a few of the mice. The devs built a basic prototype of the area to help make a few design decisions and now ready to start coding the area.
General
The marketplace and gifting feature open ETA is on Wednesday when the Fort Rox expansion is up
"When will the Platinum Base be released?" No clue, still no plan about it.
Leprechaun Mouse is the rarest mouse of the entire game.
