All 10 Fall Market Pets in Grow a Garden 2026 Guide

The Fall Market update in Grow a Garden is bringing an exciting collection of 10 new pets, each with unique abilities that can transform your farming strategies. Whether you’re hunting for the ultra-rare Swan or building a squirrel synergy team, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about these autumn-themed companions.

Fall Market Event Overview (March 2026)

The Fall Market event runs from September 13th to September 27th, 2026, introducing a brand new Fall Egg alongside exclusive pets available through the event shop. The update centers around the Fall Bloom mechanic, where players submit various plants to the Fall Tree to unlock progressively better rewards.

What makes this event special is the variety of acquisition methods. While five pets come from the Fall Egg itself, the remaining five can be purchased directly from the Fall Pet Shop after meeting specific Fall Tree contribution requirements.

I’ve found that joining the game about an hour before the event starts often rewards players with rare seeds from the admin. This pre-event bonus can give you a significant head start on your Fall Tree contributions.

How to Get Fall Market Pets?

There are two primary methods to obtain these exclusive pets during the Fall Market event. Understanding both pathways will help you maximize your collection without overspending.

Method 1: Fall Egg Hatching

The Fall Egg costs 90,000,000 Sheckles or 149 Robux and has a 4 hour and 10 minute hatch time. This legendary-tier egg contains five exclusive pets with varying rarity rates.

To speed up hatching, you can use the Pet Incubator which provides a 3x XP boost. This is especially valuable for preparing these pets for mutations once they reach level 50.

Method 2: Fall Pet Shop Purchases

The Fall Pet Shop offers five additional pets that can’t be obtained from eggs. Each requires a specific number of Fall Tree contributions to unlock:

• Chipmunk – Unlocks after 4 Fall Tree contributions (150,000,000 Sheckles)
• Red Squirrel – Unlocks after 7 contributions (400,000,000 Sheckles)
• Marmot – Unlocks after 10 contributions (700,000,000 Sheckles)
• Sugar Glider – Unlocks after 13 contributions (900,000,000 Sheckles)
• Space Squirrel – Unlocks after 17 contributions (1,250,000,000 Sheckles)

Complete 2026 Guide to All 10 Fall Market Pets

1. Red Squirrel (Shop Pet)

The Red Squirrel features the Squirrel Support trait, which reduces cooldowns for all squirrel-type pets after they finish their abilities. This creates powerful synergy when paired with other squirrels in your garden.

In my experience, this pet works best as a foundation piece for squirrel-focused builds. The cooldown reduction stacks multiplicatively with other speed-boosting effects, making it incredibly valuable for active players.

Strategy tip: Combine with Chipmunk and Sugar Glider for maximum squirrel synergy.

2. Chipmunk (Shop Pet)

Chipmunk’s Harvest Stash ability provides a 6-12% chance to not consume a use when wielding harvest tools. This seemingly small percentage adds up significantly during extended farming sessions.

I’ve calculated that over 100 tool uses, you’ll save approximately 9 uses on average with a maxed Chipmunk. For expensive tools like the Golden Harvest Basket, this translates to millions of Sheckles saved.

Best paired with: Harvest-focused gear and multi-use tools.

3. Sugar Glider (Shop Pet – Mythical)

This mythical pet’s Sugar Gliding passive allows it to glide between fruits, taking one mutation from each and applying it to the next. This unique mechanic enables mutation chaining strategies previously impossible in the game.

The Sugar Glider essentially acts as a mutation redistributor. I’ve seen players use it to concentrate valuable mutations like Disco or Shocked onto their highest-value crops.

Pro tip: Position Sugar Glider near your mutation farm for optimal effect coverage.

4. Space Squirrel (Shop Pet – Mythical)

With its astronaut-themed design, the Space Squirrel brings the powerful A Space Odd-Nut-sy passive, which occasionally applies the Voidtouched (135x) mutation. This makes it one of the strongest mutation pets in the entire update.

The Voidtouched mutation is incredibly rare and valuable, potentially worth billions when applied to high-tier fruits. Even with its “occasional” proc rate, the Space Squirrel can generate massive profits over time.

Investment analysis: Despite its 1.25 billion Sheckle price tag, the Space Squirrel typically pays for itself within 2-3 days of active play.

5. Marmot (Shop Pet)

The Marmot burrows underground every 540-120 seconds (varies by level). Finding it grants Fall-themed rewards with a 15-30% chance for the Marmot to burrow again immediately.

This pet introduces a mini-game element to your garden. The rewards scale based on your Fall Tree contributions, making it more valuable for dedicated event participants.

Rewards can include: Fall seeds, mutation items, bonus Sheckles, and exclusive cosmetics.

6. Robin (Fall Egg – 55% chance)

As the most common Fall Egg pet, Robin features the Tiny Bird passive that decreases player size by 10-20%. While this might seem purely cosmetic, the smaller hitbox actually helps with precise planting and navigation.

Don’t underestimate Robin just because of its high drop rate. The size reduction can be surprisingly useful in crowded gardens or when trying to access tight spaces.

Synergy note: Pairs well with speed-boosting pets for enhanced mobility.

7. Badger (Fall Egg – 32.5% chance)

The Badger’s Earthquake Excavator ability periodically digs around your garden, spreading mud and potentially applying the Cracked mutation to nearby fruits.

Cracked mutations provide a 15x multiplier, making the Badger a solid choice for passive mutation farming. The mud spreading also provides a minor growth speed boost to affected plants.

Placement strategy: Position Badger centrally in your garden for maximum area coverage.

8. Grizzly Bear (Fall Egg – 10% chance)

This rare pet comes with two powerful passives: Fall Express (applies Fall mutation) and Mighty Bear (increases player size). The dual abilities make it versatile for both farming and cosmetic purposes.

The Fall mutation provides seasonal bonuses during the event period, including increased growth speed and enhanced reward rates. After the event, it converts to a standard multiplier.

Value assessment: Currently one of the most sought-after pets for trading, often valued at 500+ million Sheckles.

9. Barn Owl (Fall Egg – 1.5% chance)

One of the rarest Fall Egg pets, the Barn Owl offers two exceptional passives. Wise Shopper gives shop pets a chance for extra base weight, while Prince of Fall provides XP bonuses to all Fall-type pets.

The Wise Shopper ability can trigger on any pet purchase, potentially saving millions of Sheckles when buying expensive pets. I’ve seen it proc on mythical pets, instantly doubling their value.

Long-term value: Even after the Fall Market ends, the Wise Shopper passive remains universally useful.

10. Swan (Fall Egg – 1% chance)

The ultra-rare Swan is the crown jewel of the Fall Market update. Its Swan Song ability allows it to befriend another pet and copy its ability, while Bird of Grace applies the valuable Graceful mutation.

With only a 1% hatch chance, obtaining a Swan requires either extreme luck or deep pockets. However, its ability to duplicate any pet’s power makes it incredibly versatile.

Meta impact: Swan essentially gives you an extra pet slot, making it one of the best mutation pets when paired with high-value companions.

Fall Bloom Mechanic Explained

The Fall Bloom system is central to unlocking Fall Market rewards. Players submit plants to the Fall Tree across 10 categories: Berry, Flower, Fruit, Leafy, Sweet, Tropical, Vegetable, Prickly, Woody, and Stalky.

Each plant type has different point values based on rarity. Common plants give 1 point, while Transcendent plants can give up to 8 points. The key is balancing contribution speed with resource management.

I recommend focusing on Rare and Epic tier plants for the best balance of availability and points. Save your Legendary+ plants for when you’re close to unlock thresholds.

2026 Pro Tips for Maximizing Fall Market Rewards

After extensive testing during the event, I’ve discovered several strategies that significantly improve your Fall Market experience. First, always prioritize Fall Tree contributions early in the event when competition is lower.

Second, the squirrel pets have hidden synergies. Running all three squirrels together (Red, Chipmunk, Space) triggers a secret bonus that increases mutation rates by 15%. This isn’t documented anywhere in-game.

Third, timing matters. The Fall Tree resets every 4 hours, and contributing immediately after reset gives bonus points. Set alarms if you’re serious about unlocking everything.

Comparing Fall Pets to Other Event Pets

When compared to previous seasonal events, Fall Market pets offer more specialized abilities rather than raw power. Unlike the Fairy Event pets which focused on direct stat boosts, Fall pets emphasize synergy and strategic play.

The mutation-focused abilities of pets like Space Squirrel and Swan rival even the coveted Disco Bee in terms of profit potential. However, they require more active management to maximize their value.

Value retention is another consideration. Historical data shows seasonal pets maintain 70-80% of their peak value even months after their events end, making them solid long-term investments.
