The Grow a Garden game on Roblox continues to evolve with new content, and one of the standout additions from the latest Lunar Event is the mischievously adorable Raccoon pet. While it may look cute and harmless, the Raccoon has a sneaky ability that makes it one of the most powerful companions you can add to your garden. If you’re wondering how to get your hands on this rare creature, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
🌕 What is the Raccoon Pet in Grow a Garden?
The Raccoon is a special Divine rarity pet in Grow a Garden. Unlike standard pets, which usually offer support within your own garden, the Raccoon brings a competitive twist to the game. Every 79.17 seconds, this pet secretly ventures into another player’s garden, swipes a random fruit, duplicates it, and brings it back to you. This means you can acquire fruits and plants you’ve never even grown, giving you a unique edge in gameplay.
This makes the Raccoon especially valuable for players looking to expand their fruit collection, earn more coins, or simply show off an elusive pet that few have the luck to own.
🎯 How to Get the Raccoon in Grow a Garden
There are only two primary ways to get the Raccoon in Grow a Garden, and both involve hatching Night Eggs:
1. Earn Night Eggs from the Lunar Event (Free Method)
During the Lunar Event, players can earn Night Eggs by completing special tasks and quests. These may involve planting new seasonal crops, collecting moonlight-themed items, or helping in community events. It’s the free-to-play route, but it takes patience and grinding.
- 🕒 Free Night Egg Hatch Time: 4 hours and 10 minutes
- 🧺 How to Hatch: Place the egg in your garden and wait. You can reduce hatching time by surrounding the egg with pets like Chickens, Roosters, or Kiwis.
2. Buy Premium Night Eggs (Paid Method)
If you’re willing to spend Robux, you can buy the Premium Night Egg Pack for 1,990 Robux, which gives you 10 Night Eggs. These have the same hatchable content, but they hatch much faster.
- 🕒 Premium Hatch Time: Only 30 seconds
- 💸 Cost: 1,990 Robux for 10 eggs (Premium bundle)
Regardless of the method you choose, once your egg is ready to hatch, stand next to it and press and hold the ‘E’ key to see what emerges.
🎲 What are the Odds of Getting a Raccoon?
Here’s the catch: the Raccoon is a very rare drop from Night Eggs. According to current drop rates, there’s only a 1% chance of hatching a Raccoon from any given Night Egg. That means, statistically, you may need to hatch dozens of eggs before you get lucky.
So, while the Raccoon is powerful, it’s also a major grind or investment—depending on whether you’re playing for free or buying eggs.
🦝 What Can the Raccoon Do?
The Raccoon isn’t just a trophy pet—it’s got real utility. Here’s what makes it so special:
✨ Divine Passive Ability: Fruit Theft & Duplication
- Every 79.17 seconds, the Raccoon will:
- Pick a random fruit from another player’s garden.
- Duplicate it (not steal it—other players keep their fruit).
- Deliver it to your inventory.
This ability gives you access to rare or exclusive crops you might not yet have unlocked. Over time, the Raccoon becomes a passive way to expand your fruit collection, earn money, or surprise your friends with plants they’ve never seen you grow.
🌱 Example Uses:
- Early Game: Access fruits that would otherwise take hours or days to unlock.
- Mid to Late Game: Boost rare fruit supply, complete collections faster.
- Trading Advantage: Get items other players might want, boosting your value in trades.
🧩 Tips to Increase Your Chances
While there’s no guaranteed method to get the Raccoon quickly, here are a few tips that might improve your odds and efficiency:
- Stack Night Eggs: Whether free or paid, try hatching in batches to maximize your chances.
- Use Hatching Boost Pets: Chickens, Roosters, and Kiwis near the egg can reduce wait times.
- Play During Events: Events often have better drop rates or bonus rewards.
- Join a Community Server: Trading or co-op play can help you get eggs faster through team efforts.

The Raccoon isn’t just helpful—it’s adorable. Its tiny mask, sneaky animations, and idle behavior add life to your garden, and it’s instantly recognizable as a premium pet.
🎉 Final Thoughts: Is the Raccoon Worth It?
Absolutely—if you’re serious about collecting rare items, getting ahead in fruit value, or just want to enjoy a playful, animated companion. The Raccoon adds a unique strategic element by allowing you to indirectly farm from other players’ gardens, and its rare status makes it a coveted pet.
However, keep in mind the 1% drop rate. If you’re not ready to invest time or Robux, this pet might take a while to get. But once you do, it’s well worth the effort.
