Recommended Route

Pets are companions that follow you around your farm and provide passive bonuses. They can boost plant growth, help with stealing, defend your garden, increase mutation chances, and more. Each pet has a unique ability tied to its rarity tier from common frogs that boost your jump height to super-rare Ice Serpents that freeze intruders solid. You buy pets with Sheckles when they spawn in the lobby, and you can equip up to 3 pets by default.

How to Get Pets

Pets spawn naturally in the lobby area. When you see one, walk up to it and purchase it with Sheckles. A few things to keep in mind:

  • First come, first served - If another player offers more Sheckles, the pet changes direction toward their garden.
  • Timer - Each spawned pet has a countdown. If nobody buys it before the timer runs out, it disappears.
  • No other way right now - Pets can only be bought with Sheckles in the lobby at launch.

How to Unlock More Pet Slots

By default, you can equip up to 3 pets at a time. Purchase additional slots with Sheckles:

  • 200,000 Sheckles - +1 slot (total: 4)
  • 1,000,000 Sheckles - +2 slots (total: 5)

These are one-time permanent upgrades.

Best Pets to Get First

With only 3 default slots and a limited budget early on:

  • Bunny (20K) - Movement speed helps you run between garden and lobby faster.
  • Deer (50K) - 10% faster plant growth means more harvests per hour.
  • Bee (1M) - Must-have for guarding your garden overnight.

Later, prioritize Golden Dragonfly and Raccoon. Ice Serpent and Black Dragon are the ultimate defensive pets.

Pet Rarity Breakdown

Pets come in six rarity tiers:

  • Common - Frog (10K), Bunny (20K) - Utility boosts
  • Uncommon - Owl (25K) - Night vision and detection
  • Rare - Deer (50K) - Growth speed
  • Legendary - Robin (75K), Bee (1M) - Seed drops and defense
  • Mythic - Monkey (1M), Golden Dragonfly (3M), Unicorn (4M) - Collection and mutation boosts
