Get the Mochi Mouse pet in Grow a Garden with our step-by-step guide. Find out its special abilities and appearances.
The August 2, 2025, Cooking and Trading Update added a bunch of new things to Grow a Garden. On top of the trading system, we also have the cooking event. Players now have access to all new Gourmet Plants and Food-type pets. While most of the new pets can be hatched, the Mochi Mouse is unique.
In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about the Mochi Mouse pet in Grow a Garden. Apart from detailing what the pet does, we will also provide a step-by-step guide on how to obtain a Mochi Mouse.
Everything You Need To Know About the Mochi Mouse Pet in Grow a Garden
Appearance
The Mochi Mouse is quite an interesting pet. Added during the Cooking Event, it is the only Grow a Garden pet with such a varied appearance. Like the other Gourmet Pets, the Mochi Mouse is also made of food. Just like real mochi can come in different colors, this pet can appear in red, green, and other variations. Shape-wise, it resembles the other mice in the game and appears to be carrying some mochi on its back.
Traits
The Mochi Mouse is a Mythical-tier pet and has two traits. It is essentially an experience farm that increases the XP gain of all other Food-type pets that are active in your garden. Here is a complete breakdown of what it does:
- Whisker Wisdom: Every 9 minutes and 52 seconds, the pet gains 510 additional XP.
- Mochi Marathon: Grants bonus XP to active Food-type pets in the garden.
The Mochi Mouse’s Mochi Marathon trait makes it very similar to the Iguanadon dinosaur pet from the Prehistoric update. This makes it one of the best XP-farming pets in Grow a Garden as of the Cooking Update. Having at least one active Mochi Mouse is a must if you have other Food-type pets in your garden and want to boost their age. Remember, pets must be at least level 50 for the Mutation chamber.
How To Get the Mochi Mouse
All the other Food-type pets introduced in the Cooking Update can be hatched from the newly added Gourmet Egg. However, you cannot get the Mochi Mouse this way. Instead, you can obtain it as part of the Cooking Rewards when you submit food to Chris P.
For those unfamiliar, Chris P is the Cooking Event NPC you can find at the center of the map in the latest update. Your primary task during the ongoing event is to cook food and give it to Chris P, who will reward you based on the tier of food submitted. Follow these steps to get the Mochi Mouse:
- Launch Grow a Garden during the Cooking Event.
- Go to the event area at the center of the map and cook either Divine or Prismatic food items.
- Chris P will crave a random food every hour. Try to prepare that specific dish to boost your rewards. Consult our Cooking Recipes Guide for particular food recipe ingredients.
- The Mochi Mouse is a Divine-tier drop, making it quite rare. You may need to grind the cooking event through multiple cycles, depending on your luck. Use big fruits to make big food and increase the chances of receiving multiple rewards at once.
