Curious about those rare dinosaur eggs in Grow a Garden? Here’s how players are finding, hatching, and raising prehistoric pets that turn their gardens into something extraordinary.
How to Get Dinosaur Eggs and Pets in Grow a Garden
Players drop dinosaur eggs randomly in Grow a Garden, so check the garden often during active sessions. Pick them up quickly before they vanish, then place each egg on a garden plot to begin hatching. Wait for the progress bar to fill, which takes a few minutes depending on the egg type. Once hatched, dinosaur pets join your garden and follow you around, helping with growth boosts or special actions. Trade eggs with other players through the game’s exchange system for rarer varieties.
The Dinosaur pet eggs can be obtained in the following two ways:
- Trading existing pets that you have
- Completing the prehistoric quests located in the central area.
1. From Trading Pets
Trading your unused pets at the Dinosaur Eggs stall is the easiest way to obtain the dinosaur pets or eggs in Grow a Garden. Here is how it works:
- Walk up to the Dinosaur Eggs stall in the central area and interact with Graham NPC.
- Hold out a pet that you wish to trade and select the “Take this Pet” dialogue option.
- Graham will take the pet, and the DNA machine on his left will power up.
- Then, it’s just a matter of time before the machine gives out a random Dinosaur pet.
- Or, it will give you a Dinosaur egg that you can later place in your garden to hatch pets.

2. From Pre-Historic Quests
If you don’t have enough pets to exchange, there are a series of Prehistoric quests that you can complete to get the Dinosaur pet eggs in Grow a Garden. Here’s how the Dino Quest works:
- Just behind Graham, you will find the Blair NPC in her Pre-Historic stall.
- Walk up to the Blaire NPC, and press the ‘E‘ key to interact with her.
- Select the “Show me the quest” option to open the Dino Quests menu.
- Now, have a look at the available quests and complete the given tasks.
- Completing the quests can reward you with a Dinosaur egg, seed pack, and cosmetics.
- Once you’ve completed a quest, come back to the NPC and claim your reward.
Alternatively, you may choose to Skip Quests by clicking the top right button. You will require 89 Robux to skip quests and claim all rewards without wasting a second.
Best dinosaur pet to boost garden income
Stegosaurus stands out as the top dinosaur pet for boosting garden income in Grow a Garden. It offers an 8% chance to duplicate harvested fruits, with an extra 5% for Prehistoric fruits, directly increasing your Sheckles earnings from sales.
Why Stegosaurus Excels
This Legendary Dinosaur Egg pet multiplies yields on regular crops and shines on event-specific plants, making it ideal for high-volume farming. Tier lists place it in A or B tiers for income due to reliable duplication over time, outperforming growth or mutation dinos indirectly.
Other Strong Options
-
T-Rex: Divine rarity; every 20 minutes, copies valuable mutations (like Aurora) to other fruits, spiking sell values but less frequent than duplication.
-
Raptor: Speeds player movement and adds Amber mutations for value boosts, good for active playstyles.
-
Pterodactyl: Applies Windstruck mutations (chance for Twisted), aiding mutations but secondary to direct income.
Quick Comparison
| Pet | Main Boost | Chance/Frequency | Tier Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stegosaurus | Fruit duplication | 8-13% per harvest | A/B |
| T-Rex | Mutation copying | Every 20 min | S/Divine |
| Triceratops | Plant growth advancement | Regular intervals | A |
| Pterodactyl | Windstruck/Twisted muts | Ongoing chance | A |
| Brontosaurus | Hatched pet size boost | On hatch | A/B |
Equip Stegosaurus alongside XP boosters like Iguanodon for sustained gains, and prioritize hatching multiples via trades or quests.
Which dinosaur pet has the highest fruit duplication rate
Stegosaurus has the highest fruit duplication rate among dinosaur pets in Grow a Garden. It provides an approximately 8-9% chance to duplicate any harvested fruit, with an additional 5% bonus specifically for Prehistoric-type fruits, making it the only dinosaur pet with this direct ability.
Duplication Mechanics
No other dinosaur pet offers fruit duplication; T-Rex copies mutations every 20 minutes, Pterodactyl applies Windstruck mutations, and Triceratops advances growth, but none duplicate yields on harvest. Stegosaurus’s rate applies per harvest, with rarer crops slightly lowering the base chance, yet it remains the top performer for consistent income boosts.
Comparison of Relevant Traits
| Dinosaur Pet | Duplication Chance | Frequency | Other Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stegosaurus | ~8-9% (+5% Prehistoric) | Per harvest | None |
| T-Rex | None | N/A | Mutation copy every 20 min |
| Pterodactyl | None | N/A | Windstruck muts every 10.56 min |
| Raptor | None | N/A | Amber muts (2.26% chance) |
| Triceratops | None | N/A | Growth advance every 3.33 min |
Prioritize hatching or trading for Stegosaurus to maximize duplicates, especially during Prehistoric events.
