Pets in Grow a Garden are not just cosmetic companions. They give your crops boosts through passive abilities. However, you must feed them. If their hunger bar drops to 0, they will stop aging and gaining experience points (XP). However, many players have wondered if there is a specific kind of fruit or crop that is best for pets.

To answer this question, players have to look into various factors. We can narrow it down to three essential factors – crop rarity, size, and mutations. These three factors contribute a long way to how much hunger is restored. Let’s explore.

Which Fruits Are Best For Your Grow a Garden Pets?

As previously mentioned, the three main factors when considering which fruit to feed your pet come down to the crop rarity, size, and mutations.

  • Rarer Crops Are Better: Higher-rarity crops (example: rare or legendary crops like Pumpkins or Strawberries, if available) restore more hunger compared to common crops like Carrots or Potatoes. Feeding pets rarer crops fills their hunger bar faster, which is crucial for high-rarity pets with larger hunger bars.

  • Mutated Crops: Crops that have mutations (example: glowing, giant, or other special traits) will naturally restore more hunger in comparison to their normal variants. For instance, if your pumpkin has a mutation applied to it, it will restore more hunger. Mutated crops are therefore a good choice for feeding your pets.

  • Size Matters: Larger crops, achieved through upgrades like the watering can or fertilizer, also restore more hunger. A giant mutated rare crop is ideal for maximizing hunger restoration per feeding.

Does Pet Rarity Matter?

Another factor that can be included is your pet’s rarity. High-rarity pets require rarer crops. Night Owl (Divine-tier pet) has a large hunger bar. Hence, feeding it common fruits (example: Common Strawberry) without mutations provides minimal hunger restoration. For these pets, prioritize mythical or legendary crops with mutations to maximize hunger restoration per feeding.

As an example, the Dragon Fruit is one of the best options for high-rarity pets. Its base hunger restoration is already high. If you pair it with a mutation, it restores even more hunger.
