The highly anticipated Pet Mutation update dropped in Grow a Garden on July 12, 2025, expanding on the popular Prehistoric Update with a wealth of new content. Get ready for more dinosaur pets, fresh seeds, essential gear, and a groundbreaking system for mutating your beloved companions. This update promises to revolutionize how you interact with your pets, offering new variants, stat boosts, and unique abilities.
Admin Events: A Sneak Peek Before the Mutation Mayhem
Before every major update, Grow a Garden teases players with exciting “admin abuse” events, and this time was no exception! We saw a mix of familiar and brand-new occurrences hinting at the upcoming changes:
- Brains…: For the first time, a zombie-themed event, “Brains..”, had zombies sprinting to player gardens, infecting plants with the Infection mutation. While short-lived, it offered a glimpse into the bizarre mutations to come.
- Pool Party!: A purely cosmetic and fun event, the “Pool Party!” created a vibrant pool area near the Gear Stall, complete with a slide, diving boards, and chairs. Participating in this event rewarded players with the exclusive Duckfloat cosmetic.
- Obby: Roblox fans rejoiced with the new “Obby” event, featuring a sky-high obstacle course that magically assembles. Successfully completing it unlocked the Jump Pad cosmetic, which could be earned multiple times.
What’s New in the Pet Mutation Update?

- Add exciting new variants to your pets.
- Buff their stats, making them more powerful.
- Grant them unique abilities.
You can check the odds for each mutation by interacting with the Pet Mutations sign. Here’s a breakdown of the mutation probabilities:

New Seeds to Cultivate
Five new seeds have been introduced, with four being craftable and one available in the Seed Shop. To get your hands on these new seeds, you’ll need to cultivate a variety of existing plants, including Horsetail and Ember Lilies.
- Horsetail
- Lingonberry
- Amber Spine
- Grand Volcania
- Giant Pinecone
The update also makes it easier to acquire Bone Blossom seeds through new Bonus Quests that contribute to your weekly prize.
Discover New Dinosaurs and the Primal Egg
The highly anticipated Primal Egg is now available in Grow a Garden, bringing with it six new dinosaur pets:
- Iguanodon
- Parasaurolophus
- Pachycephalosaurus
- Dilophosaurus
- Ankylosaurus
- Spinosaurus
This new egg is integral to the updated Prehistoric DNA Machine system. According to our new friend, Barry the Raptor, the first upgrade to the DNA Machine grants access to this exciting new egg. Beyond unlocking new pets, you can also reduce the DNA Machine’s wait time and unlock Craftable Eggs by submitting Prehistoric Plants.
Enhance Pet Training with New Gear
Leveling up pets for the new Mutation machine can be time-consuming, so the update introduced new gear specifically designed to accelerate this process. Some of these items might appear in the Gear Shop, while others are exclusively craftable:
- Small Toy
- Small Treat
- Medium Toy
- Medium Treat
- Level Up Lollipop
The Pet Mutation Update promises to deepen the gameplay experience in Grow a Garden, offering players more ways to customize their pets, expand their gardens, and engage with exciting new events. Are you ready to start mutating your pets and discover all the new variants?
