What Does the Squirrel Do in Grow a Garden?
Looking up what the Squirrel does in Grow a Garden? The Squirrel is a Mythical pet from the Mythical Egg (about a 27% hatch chance).

Reclaimer rules: what a Reclaimer does. Egg odds: eggs list. Ability types: pet abilities.
Direct Answer
- Egg: Mythical Egg from the pet / egg stall (Raphael rotations)
- Hatch chance: ~26.8% to 27% alongside Brown Mouse / Grey Mouse odds
- Seed Stash: chance to save a Reclaimer use when reclaiming multi-harvest plants
- Nutty Apology: small passive XP over time
- Best for players who reclaim premium plants often (Beanstalk, Candy Blossom, Super Seeds)
How to get the Squirrel
Buy a Mythical Egg when it appears in the egg shop stock, place it, and wait the hatch timer (about five hours unless you Robux-skip). Mythical Eggs also drop Grey Mouse, Brown Mouse, Red Giant Ant, and Red Fox at lower rates, so expect multiple eggs if you are hunting Squirrel specifically. Trading is the backup path.
| Mythical Egg pet (typical) | Role |
|---|---|
| Grey Mouse / Brown Mouse | XP / movement helpers |
| Squirrel (~27%) | Reclaimer efficiency + passive XP |
| Red Giant Ant | Harvest duplication style |
| Red Fox (~1.5%) | Seed steal from other plots |
What Seed Stash actually saves
A Reclaimer turns your multi-harvest plant back into a seed and normally burns one charge. With Squirrel equipped, Seed Stash can proc so that charge is refunded. That matters when you move rare plants between sprinkler setups or bank Super Seeds. It does nothing for single-harvest crops the Reclaimer cannot touch.
- Equip Squirrel before you click Reclaimer
- Focus on multi-harvest / tree plants
- Pair with high-value reclaim targets, not carrot spam
Is Squirrel worth using?
Yes if you reclaim often. If you never craft Reclaimers, Squirrel is mostly a collection / light XP pet and loses to Capybara or steal pets for pure money. Compare goals on the pet tier list and best pet guide.
How Squirrel fits a reclaim loadout
Run Squirrel whenever you craft a batch of Reclaimers and plan to relocate Beanstalk, Candy Blossom, Moon Melon, or Super Seed plants. Keep a cheap multi-harvest plant as a test reclaim to see Seed Stash procs before you spend charges on premium trees.
- Craft Reclaimers ahead of Admin Abuse restock nights
- Move plants onto fresh sprinkler stacks after reclaim
- Bank Super Seeds instead of leaving them on bad tiles
