You’ll find the Squirrel by hatching the Mythical Egg. This pet showed up in the Blood Moon update and sits in the Mythical Egg pool. If you’re after the Squirrel quickly, just keep grabbing and hatching Mythical Eggs until luck’s on your side.
This little guy really helps with planting and farming, making your runs a bit smoother. You’ll want to know where to get those eggs, how to boost your chances, and if the Squirrel fits the way you play.
Let’s dig into how to actually get the Squirrel, what its abilities do for big farms, and some tips for using it every day.
How to Get the Squirrel in Grow a Garden
You’ll need to hatch a Mythical Egg to get the Squirrel. The egg sits in the Pet Eggs shop and came with the Blood Moon Event update.
Obtaining Mythical Eggs
Only Mythical Eggs can hatch a Squirrel. You buy them right from the Pet Eggs shop in-game. Each egg contains several possible mythical pets, so you might need to try a few times before the Squirrel pops out.
The Blood Moon Event dropped the Squirrel into the game, so when that event returns, check for special shops or seasonal deals.
Sometimes, you can earn eggs from events or as rewards, but honestly, the fastest way is just buying them with Robux at the egg shop. Watch for bundles or discounts—they sometimes show up during events.
Squirrel Hatch Chances
The Squirrel’s hatch rate sits around 26.79% from the Mythical Egg. That’s about one in four eggs, but real results can swing wildly.
You’re sharing that chance with other Mythical pets in the pool, so it’s a bit of a gamble. If you’re determined, plan on opening several eggs and keep a tally. Most guides and community pages mention that 26.79% number for odds.
Egg Shop Locations and Prices
You’ll buy Mythical Eggs in the Pet Eggs shop inside Roblox Grow a Garden. The shop lists all the egg types—Common, Rare, Legendary, and, of course, Mythical.
Mythical Eggs usually cost Robux. You’ll probably see a price near 119 Robux for event eggs or packs, but that can shift.
Open the Pet Eggs shop from your garden menu, pick Mythical Egg, and confirm your Robux purchase. Sometimes, you’ll find Mythical Eggs in the Blood Moon shop or in seasonal chests instead of the main shop, so poke around during events.
Squirrel Pet Abilities and Gameplay Value
The Squirrel gives you a chance to save Reclaimer uses and adds a steady trickle of passive XP as you farm. It arrived with the Blood Moon Event and really shines during long sessions.
Seed Stash and Reclaimer Use
The Squirrel’s trait sometimes lets you keep a Reclaimer use when you reclaim resources. You might hang onto an extra use now and then while clearing fields or collecting crops.
It’s chance-based, so don’t count on it every time, but over a long session, you’ll notice you’re saving on tool costs.
Use the Reclaimer when you’re doing big planting runs and hitting reclaim over and over. The Squirrel stacks with your normal play—it won’t make reclaim faster, just gives you a shot at not burning a use. That’s pretty handy if you want your Reclaimer to last during long farming stretches.
Passive Bonus XP Gain
The Squirrel gives bonus XP every second while it’s with you. This passive XP stacks with other XP pets like the Starfish, Brown Mouse, and Grey Mouse.
The bonus helps you level up slowly while you plant, harvest, or even just idle.
You’ll get the most out of it if you keep the Squirrel active during long, steady tasks. If you’re just hopping in for a quick session, the XP boost feels smaller.
Try tracking XP over an hour of normal farming to see if the Squirrel fits your leveling style.
Changes from Seed Duplication
At first, the Squirrel had a seed duplication effect, letting players sometimes keep a planted seed. That led to a big exploit for duplicating rare seeds.
Developers patched that out and swapped in the current Reclaimer-save trait to stop the exploit.
Now, you won’t get extra seeds from planting. Instead, you get tool-use savings and XP. If you remember the old duplication trick, just think of the Squirrel now as a utility and XP pet, not a seed farming cheat.
Best Playstyles for Squirrel
Try to farm for longer stretches with bigger plots—otherwise, the Reclaimer perk just doesn’t do much. I like to use the Squirrel when I’m hatching a bunch of Mythical Eggs or during events where you’re constantly reclaiming. It pairs well with pets that boost crop value or speed, so you get more out of your time and effort.
If you’re more into quick trades or short, focused bursts, you might want a different pet that gives faster gains. But if you want steady XP and less tool wear, just keep the Squirrel active and let it help as you plant and reclaim across different fields.
