You’ll get the Squirrel in Grow a Garden by hatching a Mythical Egg. It helps you save seeds while planting, so you lose fewer seeds over time.
Basically, the Squirrel gives you a small chance to keep your seed when you plant, which is a lifesaver for rare or expensive seeds. It makes growing your garden a bit more efficient—who doesn’t want that?
If you want to boost profits or protect those hard-to-find seeds, the Squirrel’s passive makes planting less risky and more cost-effective.
Let’s dive into how the Squirrel’s chance works, how to actually get one from the Mythical Egg, and some tips for getting the most out of it in your garden.
How the Squirrel Pet Works in Grow a Garden Roblox
The Squirrel helps you save seeds when you plant and hands out extra XP over time. You get it from the Mythical Egg, and it really changes how you use those pricey seeds like Dragonfruit or Midas Root.
Seed-Saving Passive Ability
The Squirrel gives you a small chance that planting a seed won’t actually use it up. Sometimes, when you plant a rare seed, you’ll just keep it in your inventory.
This works for both common and rare seeds—even high-value crops like Dragonfruit and Midas Root.
You don’t get to pick when it happens; it just triggers randomly each time you plant. The odds are pretty low, but if you’re planting a bunch, it adds up.
Try it when you’re replanting expensive crops or testing out new layouts. You’ll stretch your supply a little further.

XP Bonus and Squirrel Utility
Besides saving seeds, the Squirrel gives you a steady XP boost per second. It’s not a huge amount, but it helps you level up a bit faster.
This XP stacks with other sources, like tools, buffs, or special events.
You’ll get more out of the Squirrel if you farm lots of crops or do long planting sessions. Pair it with high-yield crops to get both money and XP.
The pet is Mythical-tier, so you’ll usually hatch it from the Mythical Egg. You can’t just buy it outright.
Stacking Multiple Squirrels
If you have more than one Squirrel, you’ll increase your odds of saving seeds and get more total XP. Each Squirrel adds its own chance to save a seed when you plant.
With two or more Squirrels, you get several chances for the save to trigger on the same plant.
You can earn or hatch multiple Mythical pets, but getting a bunch of Squirrels takes luck or a lot of Mythical Eggs.
Think about the cost of opening extra Mythical Eggs compared to the long-term seed and XP gains. If you plant rare seeds often, stacking Squirrels pays off faster.
Changes to Abilities and Exploits
Players used to use the Squirrel’s seed-save for a reliable seed duplication exploit. The developers fixed or changed that, so you can’t mass-duplicate exclusive seeds anymore.
Now, the passive just gives a small chance to save seeds and adds the XP-per-second bonus.
Don’t expect guaranteed duplication—those days are gone. The game updates sometimes tweak the percentages or effects, especially after the Blood Moon Event when the Squirrel first appeared.
Keep an eye on patch notes and community guides. The Squirrel’s behavior or its interactions with tools like the Reclaimer might change.
Obtaining and Using the Squirrel Pet
The Squirrel helps you save Reclaimer uses and gives you extra XP. You’ll get it by hatching Mythical Eggs or buying from the Pet Eggs shop when it’s available.
Feeding, upgrading, and understanding hatch odds will make it even more useful.
How to Get the Squirrel from Mythical Eggs
To get the Squirrel, just hatch a Mythical Egg. Mythical Eggs can drop the Squirrel along with other Mythical pets.
Open Mythical Eggs at the Pet Eggs stand or through the pet vendor in the game.
A single Mythical Egg usually costs in-game currency or Robux, depending on events and shop rotations. Players say the Squirrel’s hatch chance is about 26.79% from the Mythical Egg, so you might need to open a few.
You can buy Mythical Eggs straight from the Pet Eggs shop when they’re in stock.
If you don’t want to keep hatching eggs, watch for sales in the Pet Eggs shop or check event shops. Sometimes, Mythical Eggs are cheaper or bundled.
Keep an eye on in-game announcements for restocks or special offers.
Understanding Hatch Chances and Pet Eggs Shop
Hatch chances depend on the egg tier. Mythical Eggs have higher chances for top-tier pets than Common, Uncommon, or Rare eggs.
You’ll only find the Squirrel in Mythical-tier pools—not in Common or Uncommon Eggs.
The Pet Eggs shop lists egg types and prices. A Mythical Egg can get pretty expensive—sometimes players compare rare egg costs to values like 8,000,000 sheckles in trading.
Check your currency before you buy. Use the shop menu to see which eggs are available and if the Mythical Egg is on sale.
If you’re considering buying, think about trading with other players or waiting for special events where the Squirrel or Mythical Eggs might show up. Community-shared hatch rates can help you figure out how many eggs you’ll probably need.
Upgrading, Feeding, and Maximizing Effectiveness
Feed your Squirrel to keep its hunger up and level it faster. As you level it, you’ll notice better passive effects—like a higher chance for the Squirrel to save a Reclaimer use or earn more XP.
Don’t let its hunger drop, or it’ll just stop helping out while you’re working in the garden.
Equip the Squirrel, then use Reclaimer tools and plant seeds to get all the benefits. Try stacking other pets or boosters that boost XP or make your tools more efficient. That way, your Squirrel pulls its weight even more.
If you’re thinking about trading, bump up its rarity and level to make it worth more.
Watch your resources. You’ll need to juggle egg purchases with the cost of food and upgrades. Want to speed things up? Maybe grab a few Mythical Eggs when there’s a sale, or check trade channels for a Squirrel that’s already leveled up.
Before you spend any currency, take a look at the Pet Eggs shop interface for the latest info.
