To get pets in Greedy Growers, earn Tickets from the Farmer’s Market, buy a Pet Egg from the Pet Shop next to it, place the egg on your plot, and hatch it for one pet from that egg’s reward pool.
Pets are the backbone of a strong garden in Greedy Growers — they speed up growth, push mutations, and turn up extra seeds and fruit while you farm. Every one of them comes out of an egg, and every egg is paid for in Tickets you earn at the Farmer’s Market. The catch is that each egg hands you a random pet from its own pool, so the real skill is knowing which egg to save for.
How to get your first pet in Greedy Growers

Every egg, its Ticket cost, and the pets inside
| Egg | Cost | Pets |
|---|---|---|
| Common Egg | 100 Tickets | Squirrel, Bunny, Mouse |
| Rare Egg | 200 Tickets | Dog, Cat, Robin |
| Epic Egg | 500 Tickets | Chicken, Roach, Woodpecker |
| Legendary Egg | 1,000 Tickets | Cow, Sheep, Pig, Raccoon |
| Mythic Egg | 2,000 Tickets | Frog, Magpie, Turtle, Monkey, Alligator |
The five eggs climb in price as their pools get rarer, and the pricier tiers also hold more pets each — the Mythic Egg alone can hatch five different animals. What no egg lets you do is pick the exact pet: a hatch pulls one animal at random from that egg’s pool, so paying 2,000 Tickets for a Mythic Egg gets you one of five mythic pets, not the specific one you had in mind. That randomness is the whole reason the egg you choose matters more than anything else.
Earning Tickets at the Farmer’s Market
Tickets come almost entirely from the Farmer’s Market NPC. Talk to it to see which fruits it currently wants, then grow those exact fruits and hand them in — you can submit a whole batch at once or turn them in one at a time as they ripen.
Check the Farmer’s Market’s requested fruits before you plant a single seed so every harvest feeds a Ticket offer instead of a wasted grow cycle.
Which egg holds the pet you want
| Pet wanted | Egg to hatch |
|---|---|
| Squirrel | Common Egg |
| Bunny | Common Egg |
| Mouse | Common Egg |
| Dog | Rare Egg |
| Cat | Rare Egg |
| Robin | Rare Egg |
| Chicken | Epic Egg |
| Roach | Epic Egg |
| Woodpecker | Epic Egg |
| Cow | Legendary Egg |
| Sheep | Legendary Egg |
| Pig | Legendary Egg |
| Raccoon | Legendary Egg |
| Frog | Mythic Egg |
| Magpie | Mythic Egg |
| Turtle | Mythic Egg |
| Monkey | Mythic Egg |
| Alligator | Mythic Egg |
Because pets are grouped by egg, targeting one is really about targeting its egg — if you want Robin, every Ticket should go toward Rare Eggs, since that’s the only pool it appears in. Find your pet in the table below, commit to its egg, and keep hatching until it drops rather than spreading Tickets thin across tiers.
Pet passives worth chasing early
| Pet | Use |
|---|---|
| Squirrel | Occasionally finds Common fruit |
| Bunny | Occasionally finds Common fruit |
| Mouse | Occasionally finds Common fruit |
| Cat | Speeds up how fast fruit grows |
| Dog | Raises mutation chance during weather events |
| Robin | Finds seeds, with a chance for random mutations |
| Woodpecker | Pecks trees for a chance to drop their seed |
| Magpie | Finds Pet Eggs |
| Sheep | Boosts pet XP |
| Monkey | Finds Mythic or higher fruit |
| Alligator | Applies the Scaled mutation to seeds |
Higher rarity doesn’t automatically make a pet better — what counts is whether its passive fits how you farm, and some of the most useful picks sit in the cheaper eggs. A speed-boosting pet from a Rare Egg can do more for a fresh garden than a mythic one whose passive you’ll never lean on. If you just want safe, well-rounded targets, the community keeps coming back to Magpie, Sheep, Woodpecker, Robin, and Cat. The table below covers what each passive actually does.
Spending your first Tickets wisely
If you just want a pet or two early, the Common and Rare eggs are the cheapest way in and get you hatching almost immediately. But if there’s a specific pet you’re after, don’t nibble at the cheap tiers — every Ticket spent on the wrong egg is a Ticket not going toward your target, so save up for the egg that actually contains it. Either way, you can keep three pets active on your plot at once, so it’s worth aiming for a trio whose passives stack toward the same farming goal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you choose which pet hatches from an egg?
No. Each hatch gives you one random pet from that egg’s pool, and there’s no selector or guarantee that hands you a specific one. The only way to influence the result is to buy the egg your target pet belongs to and keep hatching it until that pet finally shows up — expect a few duplicates on the way there.
How many pets can you have active at once?
Three. You can swap which three are equipped whenever you like, so it’s worth rotating your lineup to match what you’re doing — a growth booster while you bulk-harvest, a mutation pet when the weather turns. There’s no listed way to push past three active pets right now.
Are Greedy Growers codes a reliable way to earn Tickets?
Not really. Codes are a nice occasional top-up — ILOVECATS has recently granted 100 Tickets — but they expire quickly and code lists disagree on what’s live, with some showing none active at all. Redeem any code you find in the Settings menu, and treat the Farmer’s Market as your actual Ticket income rather than planning around codes.
