In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to trigger the Blood Moon every single night, how to trade smart so you don’t waste your coins, and how to actually use these pets for max profit. These pets aren’t just cool, they’re potential money-printing machines if you use them right. So whether you’re a sheckels hoarder or a pet collector, I’ve got you covered.

How to Get & Use All Blood Moon Pets

If you’ve seen the sky turn blood-red lately, don’t panic, your monitor’s not broken. That’s the new Blood Moon event taking over Grow a Garden, and it’s absolutely cracked.

The Blood Moon update adds:

• A 33% chance of the Blood Moon replacing a normal night
• A new shop full of pets, crates, and seeds
• Bloodlit fruits with 4x value
• Powerful new pets with insane passives

The Blood Moon pets are the real game-changer, so in this guide, I’ll walk you through how to:

• Get into the Blood Moon shop reliably
• Trade smart (avoid scams)
• Use each pet effectively (or skip the useless ones)

Let’s start with the basics.

How to Get Blood Moon Pets

There are three exclusive Blood Moon pets available only during the event (buy them with Sheckles):

• Blood Owl – 60,000,000¢
• Blood Hedgehog – 23,000,000¢
• Blood Kiwi – 20,000,000¢

But how do you get into the shop reliably?

Triggering a Blood Moon (Every Time)

The Blood Moon is not guaranteed every night, it’s a 33% chance. But here’s how to force it:

• Server Hop Like a Pro:
  1. Wait for night on your plot.
  2. If it says “Next Event: Lunar Glow” or “None,” quit.
  3. Go back to the Grow a Garden game page.
  4. Scroll and sort public servers by ascending player count.
  5. Join low-pop servers (less lag, less loot competition).
  6. Repeat until you find a Blood Moon.
     • Tip: Don’t just leave and rejoin the same server, it resets the night cycle. Fully exit the game.
• Alt Account Method (Best Way):
  1. Open multiple private servers using alts.
  2. Park each one AFK.
  3. When you see the Blood Moon on one, hop in with your main.
  4. Guaranteed access, zero fighting over shop items.

How to Trade for Blood Moon Pets

If you don’t want to grind coins, you can trade instead. But be smart about it.

Best Trade Currency

• High-value fruits with multiple mutations, like:
  • Moon Blossoms
  • Candy Blossoms
  • Bloodlit + Shocked fruits

Avoid trading things like dragonflies or early pets, they’re just not worth it.

Fair Prices (as of now):

• Blood Owl – ~500M value
• Blood Hedgehog – ~400–500M
• Blood Kiwi – ~350–450M

IMPORTANT: Be careful with random trades, Grow a Garden has a scammer problem.

How to Use Every Blood Moon Pet (Effectively)

Let’s break down each one with use cases, strengths, and whether it’s worth your coins:

• Blood Hedgehog
  • Effect:
    • +2.02x size & +1.16x variant bonus
    • (Only applies to prickly fruits)
  • Best with: Cactus, Durian, Dragonfruit
  • Verdict: Only useful if you’re farming prickly plants. If not, skip.
• Blood Kiwi
  • Effect:
    • Every 60s, reduces slowest egg’s hatch time by 45.5s
    • +20.22% hatch speed
  • Best Use:
    • Stack 2+ for serious egg-farming speed (without Robux).
    • Only works while you’re online and hatching eggs.
  • Verdict: Super underrated for active players. Offline? Totally useless.

Bonus Lunar Pets (Are They Still Worth Using?)

• Raccoon
  • Duplicates a plant every 15 mins
  • Use with an alt + a maxed mutation fruit
  • OP for passive farming
• Echo Frog
  • Croaks every 10 mins → +24h to a random plant
  • Only good with long-growth crops like Coconut
  • Too random for consistent value
• Regular Frog
  • Croaks every 20 mins
  • Weak version of Echo Frog
  • Skip it. Not worth space.
• Regular Hedgehog
  • Budget Blood Hedgehog
  • Decent early-game, but upgrade ASAP.
• Mole
  • Digs every 80s for treasure
  • Can find rare gear or sheckels
  • Underrated. Let it run overnight for surprise loot.
