If you’re exploring Roblox Grow A Garden, you might have heard about the Red Fox. It’s one of the more interesting pets in the game because it has a unique ability to interact with other players’ plots. This guide explains how it works, what to expect, and how most players use it effectively.

What is the Red Fox?

The Red Fox is a divine-tier pet that was added in the Blood Moon Update on May 17th, 2025. It has a 1.5% chance of hatching from a Mythical Egg, which makes it relatively rare compared to many other pets.

In terms of appearance, the Red Fox has a blocky, studded design with a bright orange-red body. Its large triangular ears have white insides, the snout is white, the legs are black, and the tip of the tail matches the white fur under its neck. It stands out visually, making it easy to spot on your plot.

How Do You Get the Red Fox?

To obtain a Red Fox, you need to hatch it from a Mythical Egg. Since the hatch chance is only 1.5%, most players need to be prepared for multiple tries. Generally, the process involves:

1. Buying a Mythical Egg from the in-game store.

2. Using it on your plot to hatch.

3. Crossing your fingers for the Red Fox to appear.

Because it’s a rare pet, some players recommend saving Mythical Eggs until you have enough to try several times, instead of hoping to get it from a single egg. Many players also check the Grow a Garden items store for Mythical Eggs when they are planning hatching sessions, as the store usually stocks them and other helpful items.

What Makes the Red Fox Special?

The Red Fox has a unique passive ability called “Scoundrel.” Here’s how it works in practice:

• Every 7 minutes and 23 seconds to 15 seconds, the Red Fox may go to another player’s random crop.

• It attempts to steal a seed from that crop and deliver it to you.

• The success depends on the rarity of the plant—the rarer the seed, the harder it is to steal.

In general, this means your Red Fox can gradually collect seeds from other players’ plots without you having to trade or buy them. However, it only works with plants from the Seed Shop. It does not work on Friendship Shop plants or event/unobtainable plants. Additionally, it cannot steal single-harvest plants, so most players focus on plots with multi-harvest crops.

Tips for Using the Red Fox

1. Focus on Seed Shop crops – Since the Red Fox only interacts with Seed Shop plants, most players plant higher-tier seeds that can be harvested multiple times. This maximizes the chance of the Red Fox successfully stealing seeds.

2. Understand the timing – The Red Fox does not steal constantly. The interval between attempts is around 7 minutes, so don’t expect it to fill your inventory instantly. Patience is key.

3. Combine with other pets – Some players use pets like the Kitsune or Queen Bee alongside the Red Fox to speed up their garden progression. The Red Fox’s stealing ability complements other pets that focus on harvesting or speed boosts.

4. Manage hunger – The Red Fox has a hunger level of 35,000. While most players don’t have to feed it constantly, keeping an eye on its hunger ensures it continues to operate efficiently.

How Most Players View the Red Fox

The Red Fox is often seen as one of the more “interactive” pets in Grow A Garden. Unlike other pets that simply boost stats or provide passive effects, the Red Fox actively engages with other players’ gardens. In general, most players consider it valuable for:

• Acquiring rare seeds without direct trading.

• Adding variety to gameplay because it interacts outside your plot.

• Being a status pet, as divine-tier pets are rare and visually distinctive.

It’s important to note that the Red Fox, Kitsune, Kappa, and Queen Bee are among the few pets whose value exceeds the rarity of their eggs. This makes them sought after, but also more difficult to obtain.

Common Questions About the Red Fox

Q: Can the Red Fox steal event or limited seeds? No. It only works on Seed Shop plants. Event or unobtainable plants are off-limits.

Q: Does it work on single-harvest plants? No. Most players focus on multi-harvest crops so the Red Fox can keep attempting to steal seeds.

Q: How often does it steal? The attempt window is between 7:23 and 0:15 minutes. Success is not guaranteed, especially for rarer seeds.

Q: Is it worth hatching a Mythical Egg for the Red Fox? For many players, yes. Its unique stealing trait and divine-tier status make it more than just a visual pet. It can save time and resources in the long run, especially if you like collecting seeds efficiently.

The Red Fox is a rare and interactive pet in Roblox Grow A Garden. With its Scoundrel ability, it can quietly gather seeds from other players’ plots, giving you a slight advantage if used correctly. Most players treat it as a combination of a functional and status pet due to its rarity, divine tier, and unique mechanics.

For players looking to increase their chances of hatching a Red Fox, checking the Grow a Garden items store for Mythical Eggs and planning multiple hatches is generally the most effective approach. Pairing it with multi-harvest crops ensures you get the most out of this mischievous little pet.
