IGN's Grow a Garden wiki guide has been updated to cover everything new in the Pet Mutation Update. Each week, GaG releases new content, and Saturday July 12, 2025 was no exception. This time, the Pet Mutation Event launched, so if your pet hits 50+, you can throw it in the mutation machine and see it returned to you with a new ability from 12 possible variations!
Pet Mutations
With the new Pet Mutation machine, it's not just plants that can receive mutations now. Where mutations and multipliers increase the value of your crops in Grow a Garden, pet mutations can give them new abilities. These range from the Golden mutation, which can boost a pet's passive ability, to Mega, which increases a pet's hunger, but also means they earn XP faster.
Our Pet Mutation Update page lists all the 12 possible mutations, as well as the chances for your pet to get them. Spoiler! Some traits like Ascended have just a 0.32% chance of being applied.
Primal Egg
With an update focused on pets, it's no surprise that there's a new Pet Egg for us to earn. Following the release of the Animal Update, we've regularly seen new Pet Eggs added to GaG. This time, it's the Primal Egg. There are 3 Legendary, 2 Mythical, and 1 Divine Pet up for grabs in this egg. Be sure to visit our guide to see all the chances for a Pet to appear in the Primal Egg, as well as each of the new abilities and traits that the Primal Egg Pets have.
Prehistoric Event Expansion
The previous update to Grow a Garden launched the Prehistoric Event, which came with a set of daily Dino Quests and rewards. The final reward in this series of quests, is the Bone Blossom. You can still get it as the Prehistoric Event has been expanded, so be sure to complete 21 quests to get your hands on it before it's too late! If you missed out on the Candy Blossom, you won't want to miss out on this one.
New Gear
With the requirement that pets need to reach 50+ before you can throw them in the Mutation Machine, it makes sense that we'd see the addition of new gear to help you level up your pets. Some of this new gear, like the Levelup Lollipop can be purchased in the shop, which you'll find listed in our Gear Guide. Other items, which give a boost to XP and passive abilities for pets, you'll find in the recipe list at the Crafting/Cosmetics Stall instead.
New Seeds
Rounding off the Pet Mutation update, it wouldn't be Grow a Garden without new seeds for us to plant. There are five new seeds, but only one of these can be purchased from the Seed Stall. This is the Giant Pinecone. To get hold of the others including the Horsetail Seed and Amber Spine, you'll need to craft them.
While this article covers the biggest changes, there's plenty more to learn about the update, with our ever-growing guide. You'll find information on cosmetics, the upgraded Dino Machine, and new admin-triggered weather events. There's even guides on new mutation combos we're starting to see appear including the Tempestuous Mutation.
