Tiger Grow a Garden: I Burned 1.6B on 28 Eggs (Worth It?)

28 Jungle Eggs Later… Here’s the Truth

I finally hatched my tiger grow a garden pet after burning through 1.6 billion Shackles and 28 Jungle Eggs. Everyone calls it “broken” and “infinite mutations,” but after running it overnight in my actual garden, I learned what it really does.

Tiger isn’t the money printer people claim. It’s a pet leveling beast + mutation gambler. Perfect for mid-game grinders. Terrible for new players. Here’s exactly what happened during my 12-hour test.

Tiger’s 2 Abilities (Real Numbers)

Quick Answer: Tiger grow a garden gives Roar (mass pet XP every ~12min) and Mutation Replacement (rerolls 3 fruits every ~8min).

The tiger grow a garden pet’s two abilities are Roar (5,100 XP shared across pets every 12m17s) and Mutation Replacement (3 fruits rerolled every 7m52s) [growagarden.fandom.com/wiki/Tiger]. Tiger ignores favorited fruits, so your best mutations stay safe while it gambles on everything else.

Roar: Mass Pet XP (Confirmed)

Every 12 minutes 17 seconds, Tiger roars and dumps 5,100 XP total across all nearby pets:

• Max 800 XP per pet
• My test (14 pets): 12 got full 800 XP, 2 got ~300 XP
• 12hr session = 28 roars = 142,800 XP total

Mutation Replacement: The Real Gamble

Every 7 minutes 52 seconds, Tiger picks 3 non-favorited fruits and replaces their mutations completely:

My 12hr results (92 attempts):

• ✅ 27 good mutations (29% success)
• 🔥 Best: Slashbound + Friendbound Sugar Apple (+187x)
• 😭 Worst: Verdant → Basic Gold (pure pain)
• ⚠️ Skips favorited fruits (protect your best crops!)
