Simply put, a mutation-based pet in a relatively inexpensive egg with a decent drop chance will rank very highly.
What is the best Grow a Garden pet?
Without taking things like rarity and cost into account, we have to say the Blood Hedgehog is the best pet in Grow a Garden right now. It boosts already expensive fruits and has the chance to mutate them, potentially catapulting their value.
What is the best Grow a Garden egg?
The egg with the best pets in Grow a Garden has to be the Bug egg. It’s a rare egg, with only a 3% chance to spot in one of the three egg shop slots per reset, but it’s well worth picking up.
The Bug Egg drops the Snail, Giant Ant, Praying Mantis, and even the Dragonfly pets. These are some of the best in the game and often rank in the S or S+ tiers of the Grow a Garden pet tier list.
Buy a Bug Egg and, unlike other eggs, there’s a good chance you’ll get a top-tier pet.

How do you get Blood pets in Grow a Garden?
Blood pets come from an egg that’s only for sale in the middle of the map. Head to the owls and interact with the egg beside the smaller one.
Blood Eggs can only be bought with Robux, much like the Exotic Bug Egg. The only difference between the Bug Egg and Exotic Bug Egg is the latter’s 30s hatch time versus the 8-hour hatch time of the original.
Can you get free Grow a Garden pets?
Some pets, including Blood pets, can be had without buying eggs. Walk to the centre of the map and you should see a kiosk with a few shops and owl NPCs.
For the Blood Moon event, you can exchange harvest Moonlit fruits for points. Trade enough of these mutated fruits and you’ll have enough points for a reward. The more fruits you exchange, the better the free rewards you’ll unlock.
You can also get a free Cooked Owl in the most recent Crafting Update, which has a chance to mutate fruit into burnt or cooked.
