Key takeaways
- Every new player gets a free Starter Egg, which hatches a Cat, Dog, Ant or Mouse.
- The Cracked Egg and Fairytale Egg are free rewards from the Task Board and from aging up pets, so you can hatch them without spending Bucks.
- Event eggs are the best free chance at a legendary: the Royal Desert Egg has an 8% legendary chance and the Admin Abuse Egg 5%.
- Free pets are worth more than they look: grow them, combine four into a Neon, or trade them up.
- Ignore anyone offering free pets for your password or a 'giveaway' link. Free pets only come from the game.

Cheap eggs worth buying with Bucks
Once you have some Bucks, two eggs are good value:
- The Retired Egg costs 600 Bucks and hatches pets from eggs that are no longer sold, with a 3% legendary chance.
- The Cracked Egg costs 350 Bucks if you do not want to wait for the free one.
Turn free pets into valuable ones
A free common pet does not stay cheap:
- Grow it. Every pet ages from Newborn to Full Grown by doing its tasks, and grown pets are worth more in trades.
- Make a Neon. Four Full Grown copies of the same pet make one Neon, which is worth about four of the normal pet. See how to make a Mega Neon.
- Trade up. Look up what your pets are worth in the Adopt Me value list and check every offer in the trade calculator before you accept.
