The Black Bunny is an Uncommon pet introduced in the Animal Update on May 3, 2025. It is a recolored variant of the Bunny and has its own unique ability that makes it useful for players focusing on carrot farming. While not the strongest pet in the game, it remains a favorite among collectors because of its sleek appearance and reliable income boost.
The Black Bunny is visually distinct from the standard Bunny due to its darker palette. Instead of the typical light fur, it has:
- A black body
- Pink inner ears
- A pink nose
This simple but striking recolor makes it stand out, especially when compared side by side with the original Bunny or other carrot-eating pets.
How to Obtain the Black Bunny
The Black Bunny can only be obtained from the Uncommon Egg, which contains four different pets in total. Each pet inside the egg has an equal 25% chance of being hatched, which means you’ll need some luck if you’re specifically aiming for the Black Bunny.
Obtaining an Uncommon Egg
There are currently two ways to acquire an Uncommon Egg in Grow a Garden:
- Buy with in-game currency – Costs 150,000 Sheckles.
- Buy with Robux – Costs 39 Robux in the Pet Eggs Shop.
Because the egg is relatively expensive in Sheckles, many players opt for the Robux method if they are willing to spend real money. However, dedicated farmers can save up in-game currency to get it without spending.
Pet Traits and Abilities
The Black Bunny is designed to help with resource generation, particularly if you grow carrots. Its ability is fairly straightforward:
- Passive Ability: Every ~40 seconds, the Black Bunny searches the garden for a Carrot, Chocolate Carrot, or Wild Carrot. Once found, it consumes the carrot and automatically sells it for ~1.5× its normal value.
- Hunger: The Black Bunny has 1,300 hunger, meaning it can last a long time before needing to be fed.
While this passive is handy for steady income, many players consider it weaker than the ability of the Bagel Bunny (a Common-ranked pet) because the Bagel Bunny generates more profit over time.
Black Bunny Pet Information
| Tier | Obtaining Method | Hatch Chance | Passive Ability | Hunger | Obtainable? | Date Added |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | Uncommon Egg | 25% | Every ~40 seconds, searches for a carrot and sells it at ~1.5× its normal value | 1300 | Yes | May 3, 2025 |
Comparison to Other Pets
- Bunny (Common): Similar passive ability but found in the Common Egg. It is easier to get but less valuable overall.
- Bagel Bunny (Common): Despite being a Common pet, the Bagel Bunny’s passive is generally stronger, making it more efficient for farming.
- Panda (Uncommon): Works in a similar way to the Black Bunny but eats Bamboo instead of Carrots.
This makes the Black Bunny more of a thematic pet than a competitive one, though it still has value for carrot-focused gardens.
Trivia
- The Black Bunny is one of four pets that can hatch from the Uncommon Egg.
- Its ability is almost identical to the Bunny’s, except that it earns slightly more due to its 1.5× price markup.
- Despite being ranked higher than the Bagel Bunny, many players view it as less effective.
- The Black Bunny is often chosen by players who want a visually unique pet rather than the most efficient one.
Strategy Tips
- Plant Carrots Frequently – To maximize the Black Bunny’s value, always ensure your garden has a steady supply of carrots (including Chocolate Carrots or Wild Carrots).
- Pair with Other Pets – Consider pairing the Black Bunny with pets that help grow crops faster, so it always has carrots to eat and sell.
- Early Game Advantage – If you hatch it early, it can give you a small but steady stream of income, though it should be replaced later with pets that have stronger passives.
- Collectors’ Value – Even if you don’t use it for farming, the Black Bunny is a desirable pet for collectors because of its uncommon status and unique appearance.
The Black Bunny is an Uncommon pet that adds flavor and charm to Grow a Garden. While it may not be the strongest option compared to other pets, it provides a steady carrot-based income and has a sleek design that makes it popular among players. Whether you’re aiming to farm efficiently or simply expand your collection, the Black Bunny is a worthwhile addition—if you’re lucky enough to hatch one.
Whether you’re a dedicated collector or just starting your farm, the Black Bunny is a fun addition that brings both style and steady income. Its unique passive makes it especially useful for carrot-focused gardens, even if it’s not the strongest pet overall.
