The Chubby Chipmunk Update in Grow a Garden adds a ton of new content — including eight unique seeds and six new pets, each with powerful passive abilities. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to unlock every pet and seed from the update, including bonus plants like Evo Apple 4 and secret rewards like Fissure Berry.
Let’s break down every step, drop method, and location.
Step 1: Claim Your Free Chubby Chipmunk
To begin the event:
- Visit the Event Island and claim the free Chubby Chipmunk.
- Place it in your garden.
- It will automatically eat fruits over time and gain weight.
Each time the chipmunk eats, it also spawns acorns around the map, which grant random rewards when collected — such as:
- Master or Grand Master Sprinklers
- Fertilizers
- Toys
- Nutty Chest (primary source for seeds and pets)
Once the chipmunk reaches 50kg, you unlock every main milestone reward, including the final plant: Pecan.
Speeding Up Your Chipmunk’s Feeding
You can boost the feeding speed by:
- Participating in the Nutty Fever community event
- Submitting fruits to the central NPC (up to 1500 points)
When Nutty Fever activates, your chipmunk will perform its ability every 30 seconds, instead of its usual cooldown.
Pro tip: Use coconut plants for fruit submissions. They grow quickly and yield large harvests.
