What does the Spotted Deer do in Grow a Garden?

The Spotted Deer was among the first Grow a Garden Pets in the game, introduced with the Animal Update on May 3, 2025. It belongs to the Rare rarity, and so, is fairly easy to acquire for most players. This Pet can be obtained by hatching the Rare Egg from the Pet Eggs Shop. Once you place it on the farm, it will grant you a small chance to retain berry-type Seeds when sown, effectively duplicating them.

Breaking down the Spotted Deer in Grow a Garden

Ability

The Pet Eggs Shop (Image via Roblox)

The Spotted Deer has a handy ability that allows you to keep a Seed even after planting it. This ability has a 5% chance to activate, but if you’re an avid farmer, you will likely see it in action fairly often. Note that this ability is restricted to berry-type Seeds, making its use case fairly niche.

Berry-type Seeds are few and far between in the game. That said, species like Celestiberry are quite valuable, and having their duplicates will be handy for themed farms in particular. So, if your farm is berry-themed or if you’re looking for an occasional bonus, the Spotted Deer can be a decent option to choose.

Spotted Deer belongs to the Rare rarity and can be obtained from the Rare Egg at the Pet Eggs Shop. The odds of getting the Spotted Deer upon hatching the Rare Egg are 16.67%, which is exactly in the middle of the Rare Egg’s Pet hatch chances. It’s more common than the Monkey and the Rooster, but rarer than the Pig and Orange Tabby.

The Rare Egg has a 24% chance to be in the Shop’s stock each time it refreshes. When it does appear in the stock, it can be bought for 600,000 Sheckles or 89 Robux. After buying it, place it on the farm to begin the incubation process.

The overall value of the Rare Egg is average, as the abilities of its Pets are not particularly game-changing. You can consider buying it if you have no better options or are simply looking to diversify your Pet collection.
