The ground is shaking with new content! The massive **Chubby Chipmunk** update, which launched on **October 4, 2025**, has brought an exciting, autumn-themed event packed with new pets, seeds, and cosmetic rewards. This isn’t just an event—it’s a whole new way to optimize your garden and earn exclusive loot!
At the heart of the event is a simple, adorable premise: make your pet chipmunk as chunky as possible for massive rewards.
The Star of the Show: The Chubby Chipmunk
Your first step into the new event area is to claim your **free Chubby Chipmunk pet**. This isn’t just a cute companion; it’s the key to the entire event!
- How it Works: The Chubby Chipmunk will roam your garden, finding and eating your freshly grown fruits.
- Get Chunky, Get Paid: Every fruit it eats makes it heavier, progressing you along a special milestone reward track. This track is loaded with unique pets, rare seeds, cosmetics, and powerful gear.
- Acorn Rewards: After eating, the chipmunk also spawns **Acorns** that you can collect for random bonus rewards like Nutty Chests and other valuable items.
To really speed up your progress, you’ll want to activate the special **Nutty Fever** weather. By submitting specific plants, you can trigger this weather, which makes your Chubby Chipmunk eat a fruit every **30 seconds**!
Go Nutty with New Pets
The Chubby Chipmunk isn’t the only new face! Several new pets are available through the event’s milestone track and Nutty Chests, and each offers unique passive abilities to supercharge your garden:
- **Hyrax:** Helps your plants grow faster.
- **Fortune Squirrel:** Generates extra rewards.
- **Farmer Chipmunk:** Assists in managing plant hunger.
- **Idol Chipmunk:** Crucial for **AFK play**, as it helps restore your pets’ hunger.
- **Chinchilla:** A progression powerhouse that **boosts the abilities of your other pets**.
New Harvests for Your Garden
The update introduced six new seeds, perfect for an autumn harvest! You can find these seeds as rewards from the Chubby Chipmunk progression track or by opening up the new **Nutty Chests**:
| Seed | How to Obtain |

New Gear and Acorn-Themed Decor
Beyond pets and seeds, the update brings essential new gear and a collection of delightful cosmetics to decorate your plot.
New Gear: The Energy Chew
The primary new gear item is the **Energy Chew**. This powerful item instantly **refreshes the ability cooldown of any pet**, allowing you to trigger their passives more often. You can claim multiple Energy Chews as your Chubby Chipmunk hits specific weight milestones (2.15kg, 13.65kg, and 36.48kg).
Acorn-Themed Cosmetics
The new cosmetics, available through both the milestone track and the new **Nutty Crates**, are heavily woodland-themed:
| Source | Cosmetic Examples |
|---|---|
| **Milestones** | **Acorn Mirror**, **Acorn Rug**, **Acorn Table** (unlocked as your chipmunk gains weight). |
| **Nutty Crates** | **Acorn Stool**, **Acorn Couch**, **Acorn Lantern**, **Acorn Bookshelf**, **Squirrel House**, **Acorn Statue**, and the rare **Acorn Fountain**. |
Strategy Summary: Maximizing Your Gains
Want to climb the reward track fast? Focus on these three steps:
- **Feed the Chipmunk:** Focus on harvesting fruits often to give the Chubby Chipmunk plenty to eat.
- **Activate Nutty Fever:** Submit the required plants to trigger **Nutty Fever** as often as possible to make your chipmunk eat every 30 seconds.
- **Collect Acorns:** Always grab the **Acorns** the chipmunk spawns for extra Nutty Chests and bonus rewards.
For pet synergy, prioritize unlocking the **Chinchilla** to boost the passive abilities of your other pets, and the **Idol Chipmunk** to keep your pets happy and maintain high-speed progression!
