Welcome to this comprehensive guide on all pets in Grow a Garden on Roblox! Pets are adorable (and sometimes fierce) companions that provide various abilities to boost your gardening efficiency, such as speeding up growth, applying mutations, duplicating items, or granting extra resources.
This guide covers the pet system overview, how to obtain and manage pets, mutations, and a detailed list of every pet, including their rarities, obtain methods, abilities, traits, and effects.
Pet System Overview
Pets were introduced in Update 1.04.0 (The Animal Update) on May 3, 2025, and have since expanded with events and updates. They offer unique abilities that often stack with multiples of the same pet (except for some like owls). Abilities improve as pets age, reducing cooldowns or increasing chances/multipliers.
Key Mechanics:
- Rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, Mythical, Divine (rarer pets generally have stronger effects).
- Equip Slots: Start with 3 active slots in your garden. Expand to 8 by trading aged pets (e.g., +1 slot for a pet aged 20+, up to +5 for aged 75+) or buying with Robux (costs: 249R for +1, 399R for +2, etc.). Loadouts (added in Update 1.18.0) let you save and swap up to 3 custom sets with a 5-second cooldown.
- Inventory: Holds up to 60 pets by default. Expand via gamepasses (+25), Pet Pouches (craftable, +50 max), or Garden Ascension upgrades (+10 each, up to +50 for 40 Garden Coins each), for a max of 185. Eggs don't count toward the limit but need a free slot to hatch.
- Obtaining Pets: Primarily by buying eggs from the Pet Egg Shop (with sheckles or Robux) and hatching them in your garden. Other methods include event milestones, limited-time shops, chests, rewards, crafting, quests, or trading. Trading is irreversible—beware of scams!
- Hatching: Place eggs in your garden; hatch times vary (e.g., 10 minutes for Common, up to 6+ hours for rarer). Boost with pets like Chicken/Rooster. 1/1000 chance for "Titanic" pets if hatching at 3kg+ weight (without Brontosaurus boost).
- Aging and XP: Pets gain XP passively (halts at 0 hunger). XP requirements increase per level (e.g., Age 1: 20 XP; Age 50: ~54k XP; Age 100: ~2.3M total). Boost with treats (e.g., Medium Treats from Gear Shop, Levelup Lollipops for +1 age instant), or pets like Starfish. View age via pet menu (<< button), clicking, or pickup. Weight starts at 0.88-2.20kg and grows with age (max 114.4kg at Age 100), improving stats. Formula: \( W_2 = \frac{W_1}{A_1 + 10} \times (A_2 + 10) \). Classes based on max weight/10.
- Hunger and Feeding: Keep hunger >0 to age; feed with crops/fruits (larger/rarer restore more). Hunger bar size varies by rarity. Unfed pets stop aging but retain passives like Starfish's XP gain.
- Mutations: For pets Age 50+ (or 40+ with Golden Acorn), apply via Mutation Machine (500M sheckles), Golden Acorn, or Shards. One mutation at a time; rainbow can stack. Odds and effects:
| Mutation | Chance | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Shiny | ~32% | +15% XP/sec |
| Inverted | ~16% | +30% XP/sec |
| Windy | ~9-10% | Every 5-30 min, 20-30% chance for nearby fruit to gain Windstruck |
| Frozen | ~9-10% | Every ~5 min, 20-30% chance for nearby fruit to gain Frozen |
| Golden | ~6% | Big boost to passive, reduced cooldown |
| Tiny | ~6% | Pet tiny; 20% slower hunger, +5-30 XP/sec |
| Mega | ~6% | Pet gigantic; 20% faster hunger, +10-40 XP/sec |
| IronSkin | ~3% | 35-45% chance to recover stolen fruit |
| Radiant | ~3% | Every 20-30 min, advance plant growth by 24 hours |
| Shocked | ~3% | During thunderstorm, every 45-60s, 25-30% chance to shock fruits |
| Rainbow | ~3% | Huge boost to passive, reduced cooldown |
| Tranquil | ~3% | Every 25 min, apply Tranquil to nearby fruit |
| Ascended | ~0.3% | Every 300-360 min, apply Dawnbound to a fruit |
- Pet Names: Randomly assigned from a pool like Arlo, Bella, Cosmo, etc.
- Tips: Use pets like Brontosaurus for weight boosts during hatching, Ostrich for starting age, Barn Owl for shop pet weight. During events, grab limited pets!
