There are many strong mutations in this list, and essentially all of them will help you in some way. However, it’s hard not to recommend the Ascended mutation if you can get it. Even some of the other mutations such as Frozen, or IronSkin especially will help you make more Sheckles, and secure you farm from any crop-stealers.
How to get Pet Mutations
Pet Mutations allow you to modify and upgrade your pets to give them new abilities, boost their stats and more.
To engage with this system, you’ll need to use the dedicated machine for the feature, which can be found next to the Pet Eggs and Gear vendors.

Should you want to set one of your pets up with a mutation, you’ll first need to let the pet reach a level of 50, and then you’ll be able to interact with the Pet Mutations machine. It should be noted however that using this feature will reset the pet’s age back to 1, and the process takes somewhere around an hour to complete, but can be skipped with 49 Robux.
How to age Pet faster
As you’re going to need to get you pet up to an age of 50 to mutate it, you’re going to want to age it fast. Here’s the best ways we’ve found so far:
Feed your pet a Small Treat for a 12 hours XP bonus.
Feed your pet a Medium Treat for a 24 hours XP bonus.
Feed your pet a Levelup Lollipop – they are expensive but will age your pet by a whole year.
Use XP boosting pets including: Brown Mouse, Capybara, Starfish, Sea Turtle, Owl, Night Owl, Blood Owl and Iguanodon.
Best of luck getting the mutations you’re looking for. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to check out our list of Grow a Garden Codes.
