What to Expect from Grow a Garden Pet Mutations Update?
Grow a Garden Pet Mutations Update brings players a fresh mix of creatures, new traits, and updated visuals, along with balance tweaks to keep battles and exploration engaging.
- Pet Mutation machine and mutations

- New crafting recipes
- Bonus prehistoric quests
- New crop mutations
As you can expect from the name of the update, the new update will be headlined by Pet Mutations. According to Jandel’s leaked video, mutations will be available through the Pet Mutation machine. Rumors also suggest that only pets above a specific age or level can be used in this machine. Each mutation will upgrade the traits of the pets or add some new abilities.

The update will also expand the Dinosaur Pets and Eggs hub and introduce a new upgrade machine. While full details aren’t out yet, it will likely reduce the time needed to create new Dinosaur Eggs and add fresh pets to the lineup. Crafting stations might also get new recipes, especially since pets now demand more attention.
Since pets need higher levels to access the mutation machine, we can also expect new pet toys or gears to help speed up their growth. On top of that, with players struggling to get the Bone Blossom from Prehistoric quests, bonus quests may be added to help with progression.
How to mutate pets in Grow a Garden
Mutating Pets in Grow a Garden
Pets mutate through the Mutation Machine located near the Egg Shop in the Roblox game Grow a Garden. Only pets at level 50 or higher qualify, and the process costs 500,000,000 Sheckles while taking 1 hour to complete, resetting the pet’s age to 1.
Step-by-Step Process
-
Level a pet to age 50+ using XP boosts like treats, gear from the shop (e.g., Level Up Lollipop), or XP-boosting pets.
-
Hold the eligible pet and interact with the Mutation Machine to submit it.
-
Pay the fee; skip the wait for 49 Robux or speed it up with certain pets like Golem.
Mutation Details
Available mutations include Shiny (32% chance, common), Inverted, Frozen, Windy, Golden, Mega, Tiny, Yapping, Shocked, Rainbow, Radiant, Ironskin, and rare Ascended, each granting unique abilities like XP boosts or stat changes. Mutations do not stack except for natural Rainbow ones, and re-mutating overwrites the previous effect; the process cannot be canceled once started.
What materials and costs are required to use the Mutation Machine
Mutation Machine Requirements
The Mutation Machine in Grow a Garden requires a single pet at level 50 or higher and 500,000,000 Sheckles as the sole material and cost. No additional items or resources beyond the eligible pet are needed to initiate the process.
Process Costs
Mutating takes 1 hour, after which the pet’s age resets to 1 with a random mutation applied. Players can skip the wait entirely for 49 Robux or accelerate it using abilities from pets like the Ice Golem.
Additional Notes
Alternative mutation methods exist, such as using a Golden Acorn, the Headless Horseman’s or Ice Golem’s ability, or Pet Mutation Shards, but these bypass the machine and its specific costs. Boosters like the Mutation Machine Booster can further reduce times but are not required to use the machine.
