The Squirrel is a Mythical pet in Grow a Garden. It was introduced during the Blood Moon Event on May 17, 2025, and is one of the pets that can be hatched from a Mythical Egg. With a unique mix of efficiency and progression perks, it’s a strong option for players looking to optimize their farming.
How to Get the Squirrel
- Egg: Mythical Egg

These traits make the Squirrel a useful pet for players who want long-term efficiency and consistent progression.
Mythical Egg Pets Comparison
The Squirrel isn’t the only pet you can hatch from a Mythical Egg. Here’s how it compares:
Pet | Drop Chance | Trait / Ability |
|---|---|---|
Grey Mouse | ~36% | Grants bonus XP per second + movement speed boost |
Brown Mouse | ~27% | Grants bonus XP per second + jump height boost |
Squirrel | ~27% | Chance to save Reclaimer uses + passive XP gain |
Red Giant Ant | ~9% | Chance to duplicate harvested crops |
Red Fox | ~1.8% | Attempts to steal seeds from other players’ plots |
Why the Squirrel Matters
Compared to other Mythical Egg pets:
- Efficiency: The Seed Stash perk saves resources by reducing Reclaimer tool consumption. This adds up over time, especially with rare seeds.
- Progression: Like the Mouse pets, it provides XP per second, but with a different secondary trait.
- Balance: While not as game-changing as the Red Giant Ant or Red Fox, the Squirrel is more common and reliable for steady gains.

Tips for Using the Squirrel
- Equip When Using Reclaimer – Maximize its perk by having it active whenever you reclaim.
- Keep It Fed – With a hunger requirement of 15,000, don’t let it go hungry, or you’ll lose its passive benefits.
- Pair with Other XP Pets – Stack it with Mouse pets to accelerate your leveling speed.
- Use Early and Mid-Game – While not as rare as the Red Fox, its consistent perks make it valuable before you secure higher-tier pets.
Conclusion
The Squirrel stands as a reliable Mythical pet that delivers steady value through resource savings and passive XP gain. While it lacks the extreme power spikes of rarer pets, its consistent efficiency makes it one of the strongest early and mid-game companions for players focused on long-term progression. If you want a dependable utility pet from the Mythical Egg lineup, the Squirrel is one of the smartest choices to prioritize.
