Digging for ancient DNA just got serious because the devs at Grow a Garden have finally uncovered the legendary Pet Mutations Machine. And yes, that’s the wild core of this week’s update. But wait, there’s more than just mutated pets! A fresh batch of seeds and a whole lineup of new pets are also rolling into your garden. So, before the Dino Machine overheats, here are the full patch notes for the Grow a Garden Pet Mutations update!
Pet Mutations
- New Pet Mutation machine
- Pet Mutations: Giant, Tiny, Shocked, Ascend, and more
- 12 possible different mutations
Use the Pet Mutation machine to mutate your pets. The pets must be over 50 years old, so make sure you level up your pets in Grow a Garden first. Each new mutation upgrades pet traits and has a chance to add more passive abilities. Check our pets tier list and select the ones that deserve mutations.
