Uncover which pets bring real advantages to your farm—boost cash, growth, mutations and more. Choose pets that fit your play style and progress faster!

Greetings, dedicated gardeners! You’ve built a thriving farm, mastered automation, and even traded smartly. Now, add a fun layer: pets. Beyond cute companionship, pets offer powerful bonuses—from boosting sell price to speeding growth. Let’s explore how eggs hatch these companions and which pets provide the best competitive edge.

II. The Pet System: Basics & Acquisition #

What Are Pets? #

Pets are companions that follow you and grant passive buffs. You can equip up to three, and abilities usually stack.

How to Get Pets #

Buy eggs from Raphael’s Pet Egg Shop using in-game currency or Robux. Eggs hatch over time—rare eggs take longer. Pets come in tiers—from Common to Divine—and rarity affects buff strength. Some pets are only available during special seasonal events.

Trading Pets #

You can trade pets by gifting via the trade UI, but always double-check the swap contents to avoid scams.

Pet Tiers & Their Buffs #

Common and Uncommon #

Basic buffs like +5–10 percent watering speed, seed digging, or fruit size boosts. Good for beginners, but soon outclassed.

Rare and Legendary #

Mid-game favorites such as Cow (faster growth), Sea Otter (auto-watering), and Polar Bear (chance to freeze crops). These offer valuable efficiencies.

Mythical and Divine #

High-impact buffs: Dragonfly turns crops gold every 5 minutes, Praying Mantis boosts mutation chance, Red Giant Ant replicates harvest output. Divine pets bring top-tier effects.

Pets That Provide a Real Edge #

A. Income Boosters #

  • Silver Monkey: 8 percent chance to refund a sold fruit.
  • Bunny: eats carrots and auto-sells them at 1.5× value.
  • Dragonfly: occasional gold mutation is a massive profit spike.

B. Growth and Efficiency Enhancers #

  • Cow: plants grow 12 percent faster.
  • Sea Otter: auto-sprays water to aid growth.
  • Turtle: boosts sprinkler duration by 20 percent.

Mutation and Rarity Champions #

  • Praying Mantis and Dragonfly both increase mutation chances—essential for rare, high-value crops.
  • Pig raises mutation odds around it.

D. Progression and Utility Buffs #

  • Grey/Brown Mouse: grant bonus XP and boost movement.
  • Pig: also speeds up mutation rates.
  • Squirrel: occasional seed refunds on planting.

Hatching Strategies & Egg Management #

Pick High-Tier Eggs #

Once earning steady income, invest in Rare, Legendary, Mythical, or Bug Eggs. Bug Eggs are top-tier sources for Dragonfly, Mantis, and Giant Ant.

Hatch in Bulk #

Stock up and hatch multiple eggs in one session for more chances at rare pets.

Manage Duplicates #

You can sell or delete duplicates. Higher-level pets often sell for more.

Equip Strategically #

Activate pets that align with your main goal—growth, profit, mutation, or XP. You can switch companions at will.

Synergy and Buff Strategy #

Pet Slot Mechanics #

You can equip up to three active pets. Some passive buffs stack even if pets are in your inventory.

Buff Combinations #

Pair pets for synergy—use Turtle for longer watering, Cow for growth speed, and Dragonfly for rare mutations for an automated powerhouse.

Playstyle Alignment #

  • Planning to sell a lot? Use Silver Monkey and Bunny.
  • Focus on fast harvests? Use Cow and Sea Otter.
  • Going for mutation? Praying Mantis and Dragonfly are essential.

Conclusion #

Pets and eggs offer more than aesthetic charm—they can transform your farm’s pace, profit, and mutation rates. Invest in high-tier eggs and choose pets that match your farming goals. Equip wisely, pair buffs strategically, and watch your garden flourish.
