   Dragonfly The Dragonfly is an incredibly useful pet for the sole fact that it can help you get a ton of Sheckles. Every five minutes, the Dragonfly will turn one of your crops gold, which increases the amount of Sheckles it earns by 20 times!

   • Rarity: Divine
   • Obtainment: Bug Egg (1%), Exotic Bug Egg (1%)
   • Hunger: 100,000

   Disco Bee Like the Dragonfly, the Disco Bee can cause your crops to mutate. The Disco Bee can apply the Disco mutation, which will increase the value of your crop by 125 times! The only reason the Disco Bee isn't as good as the Dragonfly is because there's only a 16% chance for the Disco Bee to turn a crop Disco every 15 minutes.

   • Rarity: Divine
   • Obtainment: Anti Bee Egg (0.25%), Premium Anti Bee Egg (0.25%)
   • Hunger: 25,000

   Butterfly The Butterfly is similar to the Dragonfly and Disco Bee, but with a twist: every 30 minutes, a Butterfly will fly to a crop that has five or more mutations. It will replace all of those mutations with the Rainbow mutation, which increases your crop value by 50 times. This isn't super useful if you have other pets that can apply better mutations, however, as you can lose out on money that way.

   • Rarity: Mythical
   • Obtainment: Anti Bee Egg (1%), Premium Anti Bee Egg (1%)
   • Hunger: 26,000

   Scarlet Macaw The Scarlet Macaw has a 16% chance every 7 minutes to apply the Verdant mutation, which increases your crop price by 4 times. While this isn't as impressive as the Dragonfly or Disco Bee, the Scarlet Macaw is also much easier to obtain.

   • Rarity: Legendary
   • Obtainment: Paradise Egg (8%)
   • Hunger: 12,000

   T-Rex About every 20 minutes, the T-Rex will eat a random mutation from one of your crops. It will then roar and spread that mutation to other crops in your garden (usually between 1 and 3). It's great to use a T-Rex with another pet that can apply mutations that greatly increase your crop value, like Dragonfly or Disco Bee.

   • Rarity: Divine
   • Obtainment: Dinosaur Egg (0.5%)
   • Hunger: 60,000

   Spinosaurus The Spinosaurus functions similarly to the T-Rex. About every 20 minutes, the Spinosaurus will eat mutations from three of your crops, then roar and spread those mutations to one crop in your garden. Since this pet prioritizes favorited fruits, you can manipulate the Spinosaurus's ability to increase valuable crop prices.

   • Rarity: Divine
   • Obtainment: Primal Egg (0.5%)
   • Hunger: 25,000

   Ant (any type) There are two types of Ant pets in the game: Giant Ant and Red Giant Ant. Both of these pets have a chance to duplicate your crops. Ants are a good starter pet choice because one type (Giant Ants) is easy to get and can help you get a lot of Sheckles quickly.

   • Rarity: Mythical
   • Obtainment:
     • Giant Ant: Bug Egg (25%), Exotic Bug Egg (30%)
     • Red Giant Ant: Mythical Egg (8.93%)
   • Hunger:
     • Giant Ant: 18,000
     • Red Giant Ant: 15,000

   Snail Snails have an extra 5% chance to drop seeds when harvesting a plant. This is great for new players, since it means you'll have to purchase fewer seeds.

   • Rarity: Legendary
   • Obtainment: Bug Egg (30%), Exotic Bug Egg (40%)
   • Hunger: 12,000

   Some great pets can no longer be obtained. That's because they were available for a limited time during an event. If these pets become available again, you should snag them to use in your game:

   • Raccoon: Raccoons are only available during the Lunar Glow event. These pets will "steal" (duplicate) a crop from another player's plot.
   • Monkey & Silver Monkey: The Monkey and Silver Monkey are two pets that have a chance of refunding a crop back to your inventory. Monkeys are obtainable from the Rare Egg, and Silver Monkeys from the Legendary Egg.
   • Chicken Zombie: Every 25 minutes, the Chicken Zombie has a 20% chance to turn a fruit Zombified, which increases their value by 25 times. The Zombie Chicken also increases egg hatch speed by 10%.
