Grow a Garden recently had one of its largest updates ever. The Prehistoric Event Update saw brand new content come our way. This includes new crops and pets. The pets in this event are mostly Dino-themed. The rarest pet introduced in the event is the T-Rex, which is Divine Tier (the highest tier).

This article will explain what it does and how to get it.

Grow a Garden T-Rex Passive Ability Explained

The T-Rex is a Divine Tier pet in Grow a Garden. The Divine tier is usually associated with the rarest crops or pets. T-Rex’s Passive ability is called Apex Predator. Every 17-20 minutes, it consumes the most valuable mutation from a fruit in your garden, removes it from that fruit, and spreads it to 3-4 other random fruits (increasing with the pet’s age, up to 10 crops).

For example, if a fruit has a high-value mutation like Aurora (90x value) or Amber (10x value), the T-Rex will transfer it to other crops, boosting your garden’s overall value. This makes it ideal for stacking rare mutations like Disco, Voidtouched, or Molten across crops like Bone Blossom for high profits.

How to Get the T-Rex

There are two methods to get the T-Rex in Grow a Garden.

Method 1: You can trade pets at the Dinosaur Egg stall. To do so, visit Graham (NPC) at the Dinosaur Egg Stall (DNA Machine) in the center of the map. Trade any non-dinosaur pet (e.g., Golden Lab, Bunny) to Graham. The pet is sacrificed, and after a 60-minute process, you receive 1-3 Dinosaur Eggs.
Rarer pets may increase the chance of getting a dinosaur pet directly, but it’s not guaranteed. The T-Rex has a 0.8% chance of hatching from a Dinosaur Egg.
Method 2: Another way you can obtain the T-Rex is through the completion of Dino Quests. To check out the Quests, go to the Prehistoric Quest Stall and talk to Blaire. Then, select a quest that offers Dinosaur Eggs as a reward. The quest will involve you in planting, harvesting crops, or crafting items. The quests reset every 6 hours.
