If you’ve been grinding Grow a Garden lately, you’ve probably seen someone with that adorable raccoon pet wandering around their farm. Your first thought must have been: “Wait… how do I get that?”
Turns out, the raccoon is one of the rarest pets in the game, and getting your hands on one isn’t exactly straightforward. But don’t worry, here’s what you need to know.
|What’s the Deal With the Raccoon?
The raccoon was originally part of a limited-time night event in Grow a Garden. During that event, players could hatch it from special eggs that only dropped at night. Once the event ended, though, those eggs disappeared and so did the chance to get a raccoon the usual way.
That’s what makes it so valuable now. A lot of players call it the rarest pet in the game, and it’s basically a flex at this point if you have one. Some even estimate the odds of hatching it during the event were insanely low, like one in 500 or even worse.
|Can You Still Get One?
So here’s the bad news: you can’t hatch a raccoon anymore. That ship has sailed.
But here’s the good news: you can still get one if you’re willing to put in some effort and maybe a whole lot of sheckles.
You basically have two options:
Trade for It
This is what most players do. People who got lucky during the event are sometimes willing to trade their raccoon, but it’s not cheap. You’re going to need either some really rare pets to offer or a massive pile of sheckles.
I’ve seen people talk about trading raccoons for anywhere between 50 trillion and 100 trillion sheckles, sometimes even more depending on who you’re dealing with. So yeah… start saving.
Try a Giveaway
Your other option is to try your luck in a giveaway. Players occasionally host giveaways in Discord servers or even in the game’s chat, where they hand out rare pets, including raccoons, just for fun or as part of contests.
If you’re just starting out and don’t have much to trade yet, this is probably your best bet.

|Some Tips to Help You Out
Here are a few things that can increase your chances:
- Start saving sheckles now. A lot of them. You’ll need a huge stack if you’re serious about trading.
- Collect other rare pets. Sometimes people are more interested in a cool pet than just money.
- Join the game’s Discord servers or community groups. That’s where most giveaways and trades are organized.
- Be careful when trading or buying from other players. There are scammers out there, so double-check who you’re dealing with.
The raccoon is more than just a cute little companion, it’s kind of a status symbol in Grow a Garden. Sure, it’s going to take some work (and probably some patience) to get one now that the event is over, but it’s definitely possible.
So keep growing your garden, stockpile those sheckles, and stay active in the community. Sooner or later, you might just find yourself with your very own raccoon buddy hanging out on your farm.
