How to Get More Pets in Adopt Me – Complete Guide

Pets are the core feature of Roblox Adopt Me. Since the Pets Update released in 2019, players have been collecting, aging, trading, and upgrading pets into Neon and Mega Neon versions. Whether you are a brand-new player or trying to grow your inventory faster, understanding every way to obtain pets is extremely important.

Pet Overview

Adopt Me! is one of the most popular virtual pet-raising games on the Roblox platform. Since the introduction of its pet system in June 2019, the game has featured hundreds of distinct pets, encompassing a wide variety of species ranging from cats and dogs to wild animals, dinosaurs, and mythical creatures.

Pets are categorized into 5 rarity tiers, ranging from lowest to highest: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra-Rare, and Legendary. Rarity directly influences a pet's value—Legendary pets are the most sought-after in the trading market, while pets of Common rarity hold a relatively lower value. Generally, the higher a pet's rarity, the greater its trading value. Furthermore, older limited-edition pets often evolve into highly collectible treasures. As pets gradually grow from the Newborn stage to Full Grown maturity, they unlock various special tricks.

Why Pets Are Important

All Ways to Get Pets

1. Hatching Eggs

This constitutes the primary method for acquiring pets in the game. The means of obtaining different eggs—as well as the probabilities of hatching specific pets—vary significantly; the following section provides an overview of most of the pet eggs in the game.

Egg	Cost	Drop rate	Example Pets
Starter Egg	Free	Common 100%	Dog, Cat
Pet Egg	600 Bucks, Free (Task Board or pet age-up reward)，Trade	Common20%、Uncommon35%、Rare27%、Ultra-Rare15%、Legendary3%	Dragonfly，Ancient Dragon，Alicorn

Limited Eggs(Gumball Machine)	750 Bucks, Trade	Common30%、Uncommon25%、Rare27%、Ultra-Rare15%、Legendary3%	Turtle, Owl, Crow...

In addition to these, there were numerous limited-time event pet eggs; however, once their respective events concluded, they were all retired. And pet eggs that have been removed from the Gumball Machine rarely—if ever—make a return appearance. Consequently, the value of these now-discontinued, limited-edition pet eggs is expected to rise steadily over time.

2. Limited-Time Events

Periodically, Adopt Me! launches events ranging in scale from minor to major. By participating in these events, players can accumulate exclusive in-game currency to redeem for limited-edition pets. For instance, the recently concluded Sugar Festival Event (2026) was a major undertaking spanning an entire month, with new pets being introduced every single week. During the event, an exclusive currency—Candy Eggs—was introduced. Players could earn these Candy Eggs by participating in various in-game mini-games—such as Cocoa River, Waffle Scuffle, and Jerboa Jam—and use them to redeem a variety of pet accessories as well as limited-edition pets like the Waffle Wyrm and Mochi Meow. Once the event concludes, these pets become unobtainable; they effectively become retired pets within the game, and their market value subsequently tends to rise over time. A prime example is the Bat Dragon—currently the most valuable pet in Adopt Me!—which originated from the 2019 Halloween Event. During that event, it could be redeemed for 180,000 Candy; today, it stands as the most valuable pet in the entire game.

3. Purchased with Robux

Some pets can be purchased directly within the game, though this option is typically available only during specific in-game events. Various Adopt Me! events—such as the Halloween, Christmas, Spring, and Summer events—often feature specific pets that can be purchased directly using Robux. A few examples are listed below:

4. Daily Login

Logging in daily is the most consistent and accessible method for obtaining free pets. Simply logging into the game each day allows you to claim rewards such as Bucks and toys, with pets occasionally included directly as a reward. By maintaining a continuous login streak, you can accumulate Star Rewards, which unlock free pets and pet eggs.

Note: If you miss a day and break your login streak, your progress will reset back to zero. Therefore, to ensure you don't lose your progress, make sure to log in every single day—even if only for a minute!

5. Pet Releaser

The Pet Releaser was introduced in September 2025 as part of a game update. The specific process is as follows:

Note: The release process is irreversible! Once you have finalized the confirmation and claimed your rewards, the pet will vanish permanently.
During Sean's brief return to the game, the Pet Releaser was temporarily removed. In its place, a brand-new Legendary pet — Glormy Crab — was introduced for a limited time, allowing players to redeem it using their Tickets.

6. Aging Reward

This is a brand-new mechanic introduced in 2026: whenever you level up a pet, you will receive Aging Rewards. Additionally, there is a chance to receive an extra drop—the Legendary pet known as Purrowl. Specifically, as players raise a pet to maturity, a gift is awarded each time the pet reaches a new growth stage; the probability of obtaining a Purrowl from these gifts varies depending on the pet's rarity. This probability increases alongside the pet's rarity and age: a Common pet has a 0.1% drop rate for Purrowl upon reaching the Full Grown stage, whereas a Legendary pet sees this drop rate increase to 1% upon reaching full maturity.

7. Opening Boxes

The mechanics for opening Boxes are similar to those for hatching Pet Eggs. The key difference is that Boxes typically contain a smaller, more curated selection of pets that share a common theme or association. Furthermore, almost all Boxes containing pets are available for a limited time only, and they are frequently introduced as rewards or tie-ins alongside specific in-game events or updates. Listed below are some of the boxes that contain pets:

Box Name	Event	Pets
Choccybunny Box	Sugar Festival Event (2026)	Milk Choccybunny (76%), White Choccybunny (20%), Dark Choccybunny (4%)
Aberdeen Angus Box	Winter Event (2025)	Angus Cow (76%), Angus Calf (20%), Angus Bull (4%)
Spider Box	Halloween Event (2025)	Jumping Spider (55%), Tarantula (33%), Chilling Spider (10%), Black Widow (2%)
Kelp Raider Box	Summer Festival (2025)	Kelp Crewmate (55%), Kelp Raider (33%), Kelp Hunter (10%), Kelp Captain (2%)

8. Player-to-Player Trading

Trading is one of the core systems in Adopt Me!. Players can exchange their existing pets or items with other players to acquire the pets they desire; in fact, this is the only way to obtain discontinued pets. The trading market is player-driven, and pet values fluctuate in real-time based on supply and demand. It is highly recommended that you consult established Adopt Me! trading value websites before making any trades to avoid being taken advantage of. Additionally, be vigilant in identifying potential trading scams to prevent any loss of your virtual assets.

9. Pets Plus Subscription Rewards

Pets Plus is a monthly subscription service offered by the game (priced at 299 Robux per month). Subscribers currently receive an exclusive item—the Golden Lettuce—every month. Upon using this item, players have a chance to obtain one of the following specific pets:

• Chocolate Dutch Guinea Pig (87.5%)
• Red Dutch Guinea Pig (10%)
• Tortoiseshell Guinea Pig (2.5%)

10. Special Updates

Keep an eye on the game's update announcements. The developers often provide previews of upcoming pets before an update goes live. Sometimes, these new pets cannot be obtained through any of the standard methods listed above; the specific acquisition methods are revealed within the game itself. For example, with the update released on May 1 2026, the Golden Dandelion was introduced. Players can visit the in-game Salon to purchase a Golden Dandelion for 195 Robux. Using this item grants a chance to obtain one of the following brand-new pets:

• Peachick (87.5%)
• Peahen (10%)
• Moonbeam Peacock (2.5%)

Practical Tips

Final Thoughts

Since its launch, Adopt Me! has introduced numerous methods for acquiring pets, encompassing a diverse range of gameplay mechanics such as hatching eggs, participating in limited-time events, trading, purchasing with Robux, and earning upgrade rewards. While egg hatching remains the foundational core of the game, experienced players often employ a combination of these strategies to rapidly expand their pet inventories. This is a long-term endeavor; players must exercise patience and remain persistent in their accumulation efforts, trusting that their inventories will steadily grow richer as they build a unique pet world of their very own.
