What’s New in the Grow a Garden Trading Update?

The latest update brings back the pet gifting system, which had been disabled for about two weeks due to a serious duplication glitch. Players can now once again send pets between accounts, though with one big change: trades now process with a delay, displaying a message like “Your trade is processing…” to prevent potential abuse.

This system was completely recoded from the ground up to fix the duplication bug that had plagued the game. And while gifting is back, it’s just the beginning—full pet trading is coming soon, potentially within the next week or two. That means direct player-to-player trading of pets and (possibly) even seeds could become a core part of the game’s economy.

Why Trading Was Delayed And Why It Matters

The reason for the delay in launching the trading system was due to a massive dupe glitch, which allowed players to create duplicate pets through trading exploits. It wasn’t publicly known, but it caused enough internal concern that the developers had to pause all pet transfers and completely rework the system.

This delay, while frustrating, led to a more secure trading framework that may now include item ID tracking, much like other major Roblox games. In theory, this will make it easier for the devs to detect and remove duplicated pets—and even ban accounts that are actively involved in exploiting.

What Players Need to Be Careful About

With the reintroduction of trading, there are now clear warnings and expectations from the developers:

• Avoid duplicating pets. If you’re found with excessive dupes, your account could be banned.
• Be careful trading for pets from unknown players. Even if you didn’t duplicate them yourself, knowingly holding duped pets could get you flagged.
• Do not buy pets, seeds, or currencies with real money on third-party platforms (like eBay). This is against Roblox’s TOS and could lead to bans for both the buyer and seller.

Simply put, play safe and stick to in-game methods of progression.

Pet Mutations Are Coming Soon

Alongside the trading update, the devs also teased a brand-new feature: Pet Mutations. This is a game mechanic that lets you take a level 100 pet and “mutate” it using a new machine. Here’s what’s expected:

• Unique passive traits or buffs
• Cosmetic upgrades
• Mutations that may affect how pets perform in battles or farming

To make this feature more accessible, XP boosts and craftable gear will be added to help players level up their pets more efficiently. It’s a smart addition that gives long-time players more goals and incentives to grow their collection beyond just power levels.

Developers Respond to Community Feedback

In a recent message, Jandel acknowledged the community’s feedback regarding previous updates feeling rushed or uninspired. The developers explained that with the game’s rapid growth, they’ve expanded the team to focus more on polishing updates and bringing back beloved event formats (like the Easter hourly shop and bee event) while still experimenting with fresh ideas.

They’ve also committed to avoiding pay-to-win walls for major content. For example, the new Bone Blossom—one of the best seeds in the game—isn’t locked behind a premium seed pack, which is a welcome move for free-to-play players.

What You Need to Know

• Pet gifting is back, and now has a safer, more secure system.
• Full trading is coming soon, possibly within the next one or two updates.
• Duplication glitches have been patched, and trading will be monitored closely.
• Avoid buying pets or currency with real money—it violates Roblox’s terms and can get you banned.
• Pet mutations are being added, allowing level 100 pets to gain unique traits.
• XP boosts and gear upgrades will make leveling pets easier.

The Grow a Garden trading update isn’t just a bug fix—it’s the start of a much-needed revamp of how players interact with one another. By finally enabling real trading and pet mutations, the game is evolving beyond simple planting and pet collection. These changes not only add new depth but also help protect players from common scams.

Stay tuned for more details as pet trading goes fully live and the mutation machine rolls out. Until then, level up your pets, keep your inventory clean of dupes, and prepare for one of the most exciting updates Grow a Garden has seen in a long time.
