What does that mean for you? More XP, more passives, and way more profits when it’s harvest time. Whether you’re chasing gold fruit or hoping for a shocking (literally) new ability, mutated pets can seriously level up your game. Intrigued? Let’s break it down.

🧬 How To Mutate Pets in Grow a Garden

If you’ve taken a stroll through the Pet Eggs shop recently, you might’ve noticed… nothing. No eggs on display. Just a mysterious little stall. But hang on — next to that stall is your golden ticket: the Pet Mutation Station.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Head to the Mutation Station, right beside the Gear & Pet Eggs stalls (yes, that empty one).
2. Equip any pet that's at least level 50. No exceptions — your pet has to be a veteran.
3. Hit the E key to start the mutation process. Oh, and bring your wallet — it's gonna cost you 1 BILLION Sheckles. No joke.
4. A timer will appear, letting you know how long your lil’ guy needs to cook.
5. Once the timer runs out, hit E again to pick up your newly-minted mutant beast.

Sounds simple, right? Just don’t stare at the timer the whole time. Go farm something while you wait.

Pro Tip: If your pet’s still partying at level 49, feed it more XP before trying this — no shortcuts here.
