An overview of the Nutty Pet Shard in Grow a Garden

The Nutty Pet Shard is available as a reward from the Chubby Chipmunk Pet’s passive ability. Each time the critter activates its passive, it spawns an Acorn somewhere on the map. Upon collecting this Acorn, you have a 0.24% chance to receive the Nutty Pet Shard. While rare, you can potentially get multiple Nutty Pet Shards through the Chubby Chipmunk’s Acorns.

You can use the Nutty Pet Shard on the desired Pet to apply the Nutty Mutation. With the Nutty Mutation, the affected Pet has a 20% chance of activating its ability twice. If it fails this RNG roll, it loses a level. This can seem like a major drawback, but it is quite useful for Pets like the Golden Goose, whose ability is relatively independent of levels.

About the Chubby Chipmunk Pet

The Chubby Chipmunk is the central element of the Chubby Chipmunk Event. This event is completely designed around nurturing the titular Pet by feeding it Fruits and raising its weight. There are two primary gameplay elements associated with this event: the Pet’s passive, and the Pet’s weight.

Each time the Pet’s passive activates, an Acorn spawns on the map, collecting which grants you a random reward. This random reward is chosen from a pool of preset rewards, each of which has a set chance of being the one you receive. The most common reward through its passive is 15 uses of the Watering Can, while the rarest is the Nutty Pet Shard.

The second major activity is to raise its weight by feeding it Fruits or waiting for its ability to activate. Both of these methods work in tandem, and the more it feeds, the quicker its weight increases. You can get rewards for raising its weight to 50 kgs in a battle pass-style rewards system.

This guide includes a complete list of rewards you can get from the Chubby Chipmunk Event.
