Appearance
The Meerkat has a small, upright body with a tan-colored face and chest, while its back, legs, and head are a darker brown. Around the top of its head is a mane-like shape, adding to its distinctive look. It has short legs, a stubby tail, a small black nose, and square, shiny eyes that give it a curious and alert expression.
The Meerkat is a must-have for any Grow a Garden player who loves collecting unique and helpful pets. Its Lookout ability makes it a great teammate for speeding up your garden’s progress. If you’re planning to expand your collection, visit the Summer Shop and buy GAG pets like the Meerkat before they’re gone — these limited companions won’t stay forever!

How to Get a Meerkat in Grow a Garden
The Meerkat can be hatched exclusively from an Oasis Egg or Premium Oasis Egg. With a 45% hatch rate, it’s one of the more accessible pets in these eggs — but still limited to the event period.
How to Get an Oasis Egg
Oasis Eggs can be purchased from the Summer Shop, run by Georgia, who stands next to the Harvest Wagon. Her shop inventory refreshes every 30 minutes, so make sure to check back often.
The Oasis Egg is classified as a Mythical Item and currently costs 149 Robux. (The price in Summer Coins is yet to be confirmed.)
What Does the Meerkat Do?
The Meerkat’s strength lies in supporting your other pets. By performing its Lookout ability, it reduces cooldown times, helping your team act faster and more efficiently. Because it has a chance to perform the ability multiple times, it can be a powerful utility pet during farming and timed challenges.
Trivia
- In real life, meerkats weigh less than 1 kilogram, but their in-game weight varies.
- Although real meerkats aren’t friendly to humans, in Grow a Garden, they make loyal and helpful companions.
