In this post, you will see top community tier lists of pets in Grow a Garden (Roblox) and official traits together so you know what each named pet actually brings.
Popular Pets Ability Guide in Grow a Garden
1. Mole (Night Egg, A‑Tier)
- Trait: Digs underground to find free gears and sheckles periodically. Great for passive income.
2. Hedgehog (Night Egg, B‑Tier)
- Trait: Boosts size of prickly fruits like cactus/pineapple by 1.51×. Good for cactus-heavy gardens.
3. Frog / Echo Frog (Night Egg, E‑Tier)
- Trait: Frog advances growth up to 24 hours on a random plant. Echo Frog versions do the same but older. Not high ROI.
4. Butterfly (Anti-Bee Egg, Legendary)

Tips For Players to Avoid
- Many overlook mid-tier pets like Mole and Hedgehog; worth having one or two even if your focus is mutations.
- Don’t mix too many pets with similar functions (like multiple seed droppers), prioritize variety by trait.
Quick FAQs
Q: Should I favor rare mythicals or balanced legendaries?
A: Balanced legendary pets like Tanuki or Capybara often give steady gains; mythicals are rare but can carry single-event spikes.
Q: Are frogs useful?
A: They are helpful if you are planting expensive long-harvest crops, but not mutation-focused.
Conclusion
Whether you are going for stacking mutations or steady income, carefully pairing pets like Mole, Hedgehog, Butterfly, or Dragonfly can significantly boost your farm.
Tailor your roster to your playstyle and long-term goals.
