The Prehistoric update in Grow a Garden brings a whole new collection of dinosaur pets into the game. These pets offer powerful farming abilities and mutations that can boost your harvest and speed up plant growth. Whether you’re chasing multipliers or just want the coolest pets in your collection, these dinos are worth the effort.
How to Get Dinosaur Eggs in Grow a Garden
There are two main methods for collecting Dinosaur Eggs:
1. Complete Prehistoric Quests
Visit Blaire, the quest giver located in the center of the map. Completing her quests will reward you with valuable items, including Dinosaur Eggs. These quests are usually tied to farming, collecting, or pet management, and are available to all players during the update.
2. Trade Extra Pets
Speak to the Trade Pets NPC to convert duplicate or unwanted pets into rewards. One possible reward is a Dinosaur Egg. This option is useful if you already have a lot of pets in your inventory and want to clean up while progressing toward rare dinos.
Tip: You do not need to spend Robux or Sheckles to obtain Dinosaur Eggs. Both methods are free for all players.

Which Dinosaur Pet is the Best?
While each dino brings a unique advantage, the T-Rex stands out as the most valuable due to its Divine rarity and game-changing passive ability. For players aiming to maximize crop value, mutation control, and high-end farming efficiency, this is the top choice.
On the other hand, Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus are great for early and mid-game players who want faster harvest cycles and more fruit duplication without relying on rare weather events or pet combos.
Final Tips
- Combine dinosaur pets with Master Sprinklers, Mutation Sprays, or seasonal buffs to increase their effectiveness.
- Private servers reduce interference from other players and make pet management more efficient.
- Check the Forecast Board regularly to plan your gardening sessions around optimal mutation conditions.
