The Space Squirrel is a Divine-tier pet introduced in the Fall Market Event (September 2025). It is one of the most powerful pets currently available in Grow a Garden, thanks to its rare ability to apply the Voidtouched mutation, which carries the highest multiplier among base pets.
This guide covers everything you need to know about the Space Squirrel: its appearance, abilities, how to obtain it, and why it’s worth adding to your collection.
The Space Squirrel shares many traits with the normal Squirrel pet, but with a cosmic twist:
- It wears astronaut gear, including a helmet and space suit.
- Its two arms extend outward, giving it a weightless, floating look.
- Instead of walking on the ground, the pet levitates smoothly, resembling movement in zero-gravity.
This appearance makes it one of the most visually distinctive pets in the game, standing out in any garden.
With its cosmic charm and unmatched mutation power, the Space Squirrel is a must-have for any serious gardener—don’t miss your chance to buy Grow A Garden pets like this one during the Fall Market Event!
Traits and Passive Ability
The Space Squirrel’s defining feature is its passive ability:
A Space Odd-Nut-sy
- Effect: Every ~16 minutes, the Space Squirrel has a ~15% chance to mutate a nearby fruit.
- Mutation Applied: Voidtouched Mutation.
- Multiplier: ×135 (the highest base mutation multiplier in the game).
This ability makes the Space Squirrel invaluable for players aiming to maximize their crop mutations. Unlike other Divine pets, it focuses on applying a single, highly powerful mutation rather than multiple weaker ones.

- Perfect for players focused on maximizing crop profits.
- Unique Visual Design:
- Its floating movement and astronaut theme make it a standout cosmetic choice.

Trivia
- The pet’s astronaut-like design is likely a reference to Sandy Cheeks from SpongeBob SquarePants.
- Its ability name “A Space Odd-Nut-sy” is a playful nod to the 1968 sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick.
- Unlike most pets, the Space Squirrel does not walk — it floats across the ground.
- As of September 15, 2025, the walk animation is broken, which may be patched in future updates.
