The Mega Harvest update has absolutely transformed Grow a Garden with incredible new content, but nothing's gotten me more excited than the brand new Oasis Egg! After spending hours hatching these mythical eggs and testing each pet's abilities, I've compiled everything you need to know about these game-changing companions.
With drop rates ranging from 45% all the way down to an ultra-rare 0.5%, the Oasis Egg brings five unique pets that can revolutionize your farming strategy. Whether you're hunting for free mutations with the Fennec Fox or boosting your other pets' efficiency with the Meerkat, this guide will show you exactly what to expect from each hatch.
How to Get Oasis Eggs in Grow a Garden?
Before diving into the pets themselves, let's cover how to actually obtain these valuable eggs. Unlike regular pet eggs from Raphael's shop, Oasis Eggs are exclusive to the Summer events.
Primary Method: Summer Shop
The main way to get Oasis Eggs is through the Summer Shop during either the Summer Harvest or Mega Harvest events. Here's what you need to know:
- Cost: 10 Summer Coins per egg
- Availability: Only during Summer/Mega Harvest events
- Shop Location: Special event shop (separate from regular pet shop)
To earn Summer Coins, you'll need to:
- Grow summer-type fruits (Watermelon, Pineapple, Coconut, etc.)
- Harvest your summer fruits when ready
- Take them to the wagon at the center of the play area
- Submit fruits to receive Summer Coins
Pro Tip: I've found that focusing on fast-growing summer plants like Beach Balls gives you the best coin-per-minute ratio!
Alternative Method: Robux Purchase
If you're looking to speed things up, Oasis Eggs can also be purchased directly with Robux:
| Package | Robux Cost | Cost Per Egg |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Egg | 149 Robux | 149 Robux |
| 3 Eggs | 429 Robux | 143 Robux |
| 10 Eggs | 1,269 Robux | 126.9 Robux |
Hatch Time: Once placed, Oasis Eggs take 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch. You can speed this up using pets like Chickens or Roosters, or skip instantly with Robux.
All Oasis Egg Pets in Grow a Garden Roblox
Here's the comprehensive breakdown of every pet you can hatch from the Oasis Egg, including their exact drop rates and abilities:
| Pet Name | Rarity | Drop Rate | Ability | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meerkat | Legendary | 45% | Reduces random pet cooldown by 21.92 seconds (10.96% chance for double) | 10.37 minutes |
| Sand Snake | Legendary | 34.5% | 2.24% chance to duplicate seed/gear shop purchases | Passive |
| Axolotl | Mythical | 15% | 6.66% chance summer fruits stay after collection | Passive |
| Hyacinth Macaw | Mythical | 5% | 16.78% chance to apply Wiltproof mutation | 8.26 minutes |
| Fennec Fox | Divine | 0.5% | Copies random mutation from other players' fruits | 22.03 minutes |
Detailed Pet Analysis
1. Meerkat (45% - Most Common) The Meerkat might be the most common drop, but don't underestimate its value! Every 10.37 minutes, this helpful companion reduces another pet's cooldown by almost 22 seconds. The 10.96% chance for a double reduction makes it even better. I've found it pairs incredibly well with high-value pets like Disco Bee or Raccoon.
2. Sand Snake (34.5% - Second Most Common) This slithery friend provides a passive 2.24% duplication chance whenever you buy from the seed or gear shop. While the percentage seems low, it adds up quickly if you're constantly buying expensive seeds or crafting materials. Imagine getting a free Pumpkin seed (10,000,000 Sheckles value) from a lucky proc!
3. Axolotl (15% - Uncommon) The adorable Axolotl gives you a 6.66% chance to keep summer-type fruits after harvesting. This essentially gives you free replants of valuable summer crops. It's particularly powerful during events when summer fruits are needed for coins.
4. Hyacinth Macaw (5% - Rare) This beautiful bird applies the Wiltproof mutation every 8.26 minutes with a 16.78% success rate. While Wiltproof isn't the highest value mutation, getting it for free is always beneficial, especially since mutations stack!
5. Fennec Fox (0.5% - Ultra Rare) The crown jewel of the Oasis Egg! Every 22.03 minutes, this clever fox visits another player's fruit, copies a mutation, and applies it to one of your unmutated fruits. The higher the mutation's multiplier, the lower the copy chance, but the potential is incredible. Imagine copying a Rainbow (50x) or Shocked (100x) mutation for free!
Best GaG Oasis Egg Pets Ranked
Based on my extensive testing and community feedback, here's how I rank these pets from best to worst:
S-Tier: Must-Have Pets
1. Fennec Fox - Despite being the rarest, it's absolutely worth the hunt. Free high-value mutations can transform your earnings overnight. In wealthy servers, this pet is essentially a money printer.
2. Hyacinth Macaw - Consistent free mutations every 50 minutes (on average) make this a fantastic addition to any garden. Wiltproof might not be the best mutation, but free is free!
A-Tier: Excellent Choices
3. Meerkat - The synergy potential is outstanding. Reducing cooldowns on pets like Dragonfly or Mimic Octopus amplifies their already powerful effects.
B-Tier: Solid Options
4. Sand Snake - While 2.24% seems low, heavy shoppers will appreciate the occasional free duplicate. Best for players who frequently buy expensive seeds.
5. Axolotl - Great during summer events, but less useful year-round. The 6.66% chance is decent but only affects one fruit type category.
Maximizing Your Oasis Egg Strategy
Here are my top tips for making the most of your Oasis Egg pets:
1. Server Hopping with Fennec Fox
If you're lucky enough to get a Fennec Fox, join servers with wealthy players who have high-value mutations. The fox prioritizes copying rarer mutations, so you want as many options as possible.
2. Pet Synergy Combinations
- Meerkat + Disco Bee: More frequent disco mutations
- Meerkat + Raccoon: More stolen fruits and seeds
- Hyacinth Macaw + Other Mutation Pets: Stack those multipliers!
3. Event Timing
During Mega Harvest events, prioritize:
- Growing summer fruits for coins
- Using Axolotl for free replants
- Buying multiple Oasis Eggs while available
4. Placement Strategy
Place your Oasis pets near:
- High-value crops (for Fennec Fox and Hyacinth Macaw)
- Other pets (for Meerkat efficiency)
- Your most active garden area
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not saving Summer Coins - Don't waste coins on other items until you've secured several Oasis Eggs
- Ignoring the Meerkat - Its high drop rate doesn't mean it's useless
- Placing pets randomly - Strategic placement maximizes their effectiveness
- Selling duplicates too quickly - Multiple Meerkats can create powerful cooldown chains

The Fennec Fox is the rarest pet with only a 0.5% drop rate, making it 90 times rarer than the common Meerkat.

The Oasis Egg requires 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch naturally. This can be reduced with hatching pets or skipped instantly with Robux.

Eggs cannot be traded, but once hatched, the pets can be traded with other players. High-age Fennec Foxes are particularly valuable in trades.
Will the Oasis Egg return after the Mega Harvest event?
Based on past patterns, the Oasis Egg will likely return during future Summer events, but this hasn't been officially confirmed by the developers.
