How hatching actually works

Eggs are the main way to obtain pets in Adopt Me!, and they are classified into different rarities just like the pets inside them.

Each egg requires a certain number of tasks to hatch, which means caring for it the way you would care for a pet or a baby.

There is a board in the Nursery that displays all the pets currently in the game alongside the pets you already own, and it changes based on your inventory.

Before pet accessories were added you could rename your eggs, but that ability was removed after the Dress Your Pets Live Event.

Skipping the tasks with Hatch Now

The 'Hatch Now!' gamepass lets you skip the task process entirely, at a cost of 35 per egg.

It can be bought repeatedly with no limit as long as you have the funds and an egg, so it works for bulk hatching rather than as a one-off unlock.

If an egg fails to hatch after you buy the gamepass, you receive an Instant Hatch Potion instead, which has the same function.

For players opening a lot of eggs, that failure refund matters: it means you are never simply out the Robux.

The permanent eggs and their prices

Three eggs have been in the game since pets were released and will never be removed: the Cracked Egg, Pet Egg and Royal Egg.

They are bought from the Pets section of the Nursery for 350, 600 and 1,450 respectively.

The Retired Egg arrived on July 21, 2022 with the Normal Eggs Refresh update and contains all the pets from the older version of the refreshed eggs.

The Retired Egg is purchased from the VIP room inside the Nursery for 600, and there is no limit on how many times you can buy any of these four.

The Starter Egg and how to get three more

On joining the game for the first time every player receives a Starter Egg, which hatches into a Dog or a Cat - both common pets.

A maximum of three more Starter Eggs can be earned by completing achievements in the Guide.

Of those three, one hatches into a Dog or Cat while the other two hatch into an Ant or a Mouse.

The Starter Egg is untradable and currently has a 100% chance of hatching into a common pet, which makes it a guaranteed baseline rather than a gamble.

Pet Releaser eggs and Tickets

The Basic Egg and Crystal Egg were added on September 12, 2025 alongside the Pet Releaser.

The Pet Releaser lets you release pets from your inventory - permanently deleting them - in exchange for Tickets.

Those Tickets buy a Basic Egg for 400 or a Crystal Egg for 4,000.

It is a genuine trade-off rather than free value: you are converting existing pets into a chance at new ones, so duplicate or unwanted pets are the natural fuel.

Which eggs are gone for good

Many pets in Adopt Me! come from eggs, but not all: pets that cost Robux, were bought with event currency, or came out of boxes like the Gumball Machine sit outside the egg system.

The limited-time Gumball Machine lineup has included the Safari, Jungle, Farm, Aussie, Fossil, Ocean, Mythic, Woodland, Japan, Southeast Asia, Danger, Urban, Desert, Garden, Moon, Aztec, Endangered and Fairytale Eggs.

Those eggs are added to the game and then leave a few months later - once gone, the only way to get them is trading.

That is why the answer to 'how do I get the Safari Egg pet' is never 'grind for it': the egg itself has to come from another player.

Eggs could previously be obtained from Bucks and Gingerbread as well, so older players may still hold ones that are no longer purchasable by any route.

Tasks, rarity and what the board tells you

Because hatching is task-based, the practical bottleneck is completing tasks rather than owning the egg - which is why the Hatch Now option exists as a shortcut.

Egg rarity and pet rarity are separate scales: a common egg can still be the cheapest way to start a collection, while rarer eggs carry rarer pets.

The Nursery board is your reference point during a hatching session: it shows every pet currently in the game and highlights the ones you already own.

Because the board updates based on your inventory, it doubles as a completion tracker for whatever egg you are working through.

The 2020-onward pattern of limited-time eggs means a new arrival will eventually leave: if an egg is on the Gumball Machine rotation, hatching it while it is live is always cheaper than trading for it later.
