How to Get French Fry Ferret in Grow A Garden

The French Fry Ferret is a divine pet added in the Cooking Event update on August 2, 2025. It’s one of the rarest pets in Grow A Garden and can only be obtained by hatching the exclusive Gourmet Egg.

What is the French Fry Ferret?

It’s a cute ferret pet with a red bag of golden French fries on its head. The fries packet has a yellow “G,” representing “Gourmet,” the event in which this pet was introduced. It’s mainly white with distinct brown patches and a bright pink nose and ears, making it very recognizable.

How to Obtain the French Fry Ferret

Step 1: Participate in the Cooking Event

• The French Fry Ferret was released during the Trading and Cooking Event update.
• To participate, you need to cook meals and give them to the pig chef named Chris P., located at the center of the island.
• Cooking higher rarity meals, especially Legendary ones, increases your chances of earning Gourmet Eggs as rewards.

Step 2: Get the Gourmet Egg

• The French Fry Ferret is hatched only from the Gourmet Egg.
• This egg is exclusive to the Cooking Event and cannot be obtained outside this event.
• Each Gourmet Egg has a 1% chance to hatch a French Fry Ferret.

Step 3: Hatch the Gourmet Egg

• Collect as many Gourmet Eggs as possible by cooking and feeding Chris P.
• Hatch these eggs and cross your fingers for the rare French Fry Ferret!
• Because of the low chance, it might take multiple eggs before you hatch one.

What Makes the French Fry Ferret Special?

Ability Explained

• Friendly Frier: Approximately every hour, the French Fry Ferret will automatically increase a random pet’s level by 1.
• This ability can’t be copied or refreshed by other pets, making it unique.
• Unlike other pets with short cooldowns, this pet’s ability cooldown is quite long (minimum 20 minutes), so it’s a slow but steady helper.
• Interestingly, it can level up pets that have already reached max level, which might be a bug or a special feature.

Tips for Increasing Your Chances

• Focus on cooking Legendary or higher rarity meals to earn Gourmet Eggs faster.
• The Gourmet Egg is your only source of the French Fry Ferret, so prioritize event participation.
• Keep hatching eggs — persistence is key given the low 1% hatch rate.
• Use toys that affect pets if you want to experiment with interaction, as the French Fry Ferret can be affected by toys.

Summary

The French Fry Ferret is a charming and powerful pet that boosts your pet levels over time. Since it’s exclusive and rare, the main challenge is obtaining the Gourmet Egg and hatching it multiple times. With dedication in the Cooking Event, you can eventually add this divine pet to your collection.
