Grow a Garden Pumpkin Rat guide

This Pet can use its ability to transform Pumpkin produce into Jack O’Lantern cosmetics, which can help you decorate your farm as befits the festivities. The Pumpkin Rat is limited to the Halloween Event and will be unavailable after the event expires.

How to get

The Pumpkin Rat is available through the Creepy Critters Shop that was added as part of the Halloween Event. This shop only appears in the Halloween Market every hour, so be sure to check the timer next to the event area to know when it's available. Available for 40 Candy Corn, the Pumpkin Rat is the second-least expensive item in the shop behind the Spooky Egg, which is priced at 30 Candy Corn.

For Candy Corn, you can submit Fruits into the Cauldron found in the event area. The items you receive from the Cauldron vary based on the amount and rarity of Fruits submitted. You are guaranteed to get anywhere between 10 and 20 Candy Corn for giving away Fruit to the Cauldron. Other rewards include the Spooky Egg and the Pumpkin Crate.

The Halloween Event will remain available until the end of October, so be sure to get the Pumpkin Rat before it goes away.

Ability

The Pumpkin Rat can activate its ability to transform a random Pumpkin Fruit on your farm into a Jack O’Lantern. Its ability triggers between one to seven minutes, depending on the Pet’s level. Once it transforms the Pumpkin, the resulting Jack O’Lantern will be one of five different variants. The variant you receive will be chosen randomly.

There are no practical applications to this Pet’s ability. It is purely cosmetic, so once you have the required amount of Jack O’Lanterns, you can stow the Pet away for future use.
