Adopt Me in Roblox is all about raising adorable pets, but getting Adopt Me pets isn't as simple as just forking out Robux for that dog in the Pet Shop window.

You can buy some pets, but most come from Eggs. These Eggs have set chances of hatching pets of a certain rarity, and the game frequently rotates Eggs.

Some are only available for a limited time, though you can trade with other players for Eggs and pets that are no longer freely available.

How to get pets in Adopt Me

You’ll get most of your pets from hatching Eggs you either trade for or buy at the Nursery.

Adopt Me! also hosts yearly holiday events with special pets. While you can’t buy or find pets from previous years’ events except through trading, you can keep an eye out for upcoming ones instead.

Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, and Halloween typically have at least two or three special pets, though the game has hosted April Fool’s and other events from time to time.

A note on the Adopt Me Monkey Fairground

The Adopt Me! monkey is a special case. It was formerly available as part of the Monkey Fairground event and could be obtained from a Monkey Box. The Fairground is no longer part of the game, though it’s reportedly being added again sometime in 2021.

Adopt Me! Egg and Egg hatching

These are all the basic Eggs in Adopt Me!, their hatch rates, and how to obtain them.

Nursery Gumball Machine Eggs

These Eggs were previously available in the Gumball Machine. At the time of writing, only the Ocean Egg is still available, so you’ll need to trade for the others.

Here’s what to expect if you do.

Blue Egg

• Always hatches the Blue Dog (uncommon)

Pink Egg

• Always hatches the Pink Cat (uncommon)

Adopt Me Golden Egg and Diamond Egg

Golden and Diamond Eggs always produce Legendary pets, but you obtain these eggs in a different way. You’ll need 660 Star Rewards, earned through Daily Reward bonuses.

Once you reach the threshold for the Gold Egg and obtain it, the Rewards count resets. The next time you hit 660 Stars, you can exchange them for a Diamond Egg.

How does Adopt Me trading work?

Trading in Adopt Me is simple. Approach another player, and choose the trade option when it pops up.

Then, you'll both have a short time to choose an item to trade and will need to verify that it's what you want to trade.

The game evaluates the value of items offered on both sides and alerts you if it thinks the other player is trying to scam you. After that, accept the trade, and you're good to go.
