In Grow a Garden, pets are more than just regular companions, they are more than just regular pets… Each one of those unique pets can be used for the purpose of mutating, speeding growth, in general: every pet will create unique traits to your garden. But before you can enjoy every aspect of pets, you need to obtain and raise the egg, and most important-take care of your little helper.
🛍️ How to Get Pets
To get pets, you simply need to head to a pet shop. It is located in the same area where you buy gear and cosmetics. It is not hard to see them, since there are three massive eggs standing next to each other!
- Egg stock changes randomly, so not every egg is available all the time.
- Some eggs are rarer and more expensive than others.
- Once purchased, place the egg in your garden and wait for it to hatch.
- Each egg type has a different hatch time, usually based on its rarity.
- After hatching, make sure to feed your pet regularly to keep it growing and active.
