Does Pet’s Age Affect its Abilities in Grow a Garden?

Yes, a pet’s age affects its abilities. As a pet gets older, it requires more XP to age, but its traits improve, such as having shorter cooldowns, better chances, and other buffs. However, if a pet’s hunger bar reaches 0, it cannot age.

You can view your pet’s age by selecting the “view” option, picking it up and stomping on it through your inventory, or by accessing the pet menu via the << button on the right side of the screen.

Does a pet’s hunger affect its ability to grow in Grow a Garden?

Yes, a pet’s hunger is essential for it to grow older. When the hunger bar reaches 0, the pet can no longer age. To feed a pet, equip any crop from your inventory and move closer to the pet. You can then click the pet and select the “Feed” option, or use the interact button that appears when you’re near the pet. Alternatively, you can feed the pet through the pet menu by selecting the crop to feed and choosing “Feed.” Once fed, a message will show the percentage of hunger restored. The amount of hunger restored and the type of fruit depends on the pet’s hunger level. Pets’ hunger bars may vary depending on their rarity, and you can view the hunger bar by clicking the pet and choosing the “view” option or through the pet menu.

Do Pets Affect Seeds in Grow a Garden?

Yes, pets can directly impact the availability and discovery of seeds. Some pets dig up seeds for you, while others increase the chance of seeds dropping when harvesting plants. Additionally, pets that speed up plant growth or change fruit types can lead to more frequent harvests and more opportunities for seed drops. For example, the Squirrel Pet has a 2.55% chance to prevent a seed in Grow a Garden from being consumed during planting.
