Plants vs Brainrots Sprout Studies Event Update Guide (January 2026) Complete Mutation Guide
The Sprout Studies Event has transformed Plants vs Brainrots completely. Instead of grinding endless waves or hunting bosses, I can…
I’ve been grinding Adopt Me non-stop since the Fresh Fruit Pets update dropped on January 9, 2026, and let me tell you – the Dragonfruit Fox is hands down one of the most sought-after pets right now. After spending countless hours farming Crystal Eggs and testing every method available, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned about getting this elusive legendary pet.
The Dragonfruit Fox isn’t your typical Robux pet – it’s a free-to-play legendary that requires serious dedication, smart farming strategies, and a bit of luck. Whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore collector, this comprehensive guide will show you exactly how to add this rare fruit-themed fox to your collection.
Before we dive into the farming strategies, let’s break down what makes this pet so special.
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Pet Name | Dragonfruit Fox |
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Release Date | January 9, 2026 |
| Update | Fresh Fruit Pets Update |
| Obtainable From | Crystal Egg (Pet Releaser System) |
| Cost | 4,500 Pet Releaser Points |
| Hatch Rate | Approximately 0.42% (1 in 238 eggs) |
| Trading | Yes (Available) |
| Neon Variants | Yes (Requires 4 Full Grown) |
| Free-to-Play | Yes (No Robux required) |
The Dragonfruit Fox is part of the Fresh Fruit Pets collection that completely refreshed the Green Groceries Supermarket. Unlike the fruit owls that cost 195 Robux each through Golden Seed Balls, this legendary fox is exclusively available through the Crystal Egg system – making it one of the few legendary pets that free-to-play players can farm without spending real money.
The only way to obtain a Dragonfruit Fox is through hatching Crystal Eggs. Here’s exactly how this system works:
Step 1: Access the Pet Releaser
The Pet Releaser is your gateway to Crystal Eggs. You’ll find this feature in your game menu – it’s the system that allows you to release pets you no longer want in exchange for Pet Releaser Points.
Step 2: Release Pets for Points
Every pet you release grants you Pet Releaser Points. The number of points you receive depends on the rarity of the pet you’re releasing:
Step 3: Purchase Crystal Eggs
Once you’ve accumulated 4,500 Pet Releaser Points, you can exchange them for one Crystal Egg. This is where patience becomes crucial – you’ll need multiple eggs because the hatch rate is extremely low.
Step 4: Hatch and Hope
Each Crystal Egg contains 14 different legendary pets, and the Dragonfruit Fox has roughly a 0.42% chance of hatching. Based on my extensive testing and community data, you can expect to need anywhere from 50 to 300+ eggs before successfully hatching one.
Let me be brutally honest – getting a Dragonfruit Fox is one of the hardest grinds in Adopt Me right now. The Crystal Egg contains 14 legendary pets with a cumulative legendary hatch rate of 5.9%. Since this percentage is split equally among all 14 pets, your individual chance for the Dragonfruit Fox is approximately:
5.9% ÷ 14 ≈ 0.42% per egg
This means statistically, you’d need to hatch about 238 Crystal Eggs to have a 50% chance of getting at least one Dragonfruit Fox. That translates to:
Yes, you read that correctly. This is why the Dragonfruit Fox is one of the most valuable pets for trading right now.
After weeks of grinding, I’ve developed several strategies that significantly speed up the Pet Releaser Points farming process. Here’s what actually works:
This is my go-to strategy and it’s incredibly efficient if you have some Bucks saved up.

To get one Crystal Egg (4,500 points) using only Cracked Eggs:
If you’re not in a rush, this passive method works wonders over time.
How It Works:
Benefits:
Timeline:
Using only free daily rewards, you can realistically earn one Crystal Egg every 2-3 weeks depending on your login consistency and streak bonuses.
This advanced strategy requires some initial pets but can accelerate your progress dramatically.
How It Works:
Why It Works:
Pro Tip: Set up a Trade Stand with a sign saying “Trading 1 Rare for 5 Commons” – you’ll be surprised how many players take this deal.
Adopt Me regularly runs events that reward exclusive pets. Here’s how to maximize these:
How It Works:
Recent Example:
The Fresh Fruit Pets update itself gave players opportunities to earn bonus pets through activities. By participating fully, I earned an extra 800 Pet Releaser Points just from event-exclusive pets I didn’t need.
If the Crystal Egg grind seems too daunting (and honestly, I don’t blame you), trading is your alternative route. Here’s everything you need to know:
Based on trading communities and my own market research, the Dragonfruit Fox currently has these approximate values:
For a Regular Dragonfruit Fox:
Why the High Value:
After completing dozens of trades, here are my proven strategies:
Tip #1: Use Value-Checking Websites
Before making any trade, check current values on:
These platforms give you real-time data on what Dragonfruit Foxes are actually trading for right now.
Tip #2: Advertise in High-Traffic Servers
Don’t waste time in empty servers. Join popular Adopt Me servers with 15+ players and advertise:
Tip #3: The Overpay Early Strategy
Right now in January 2026, Dragonfruit Foxes are at peak value because they’re brand new. If you’re willing to slightly overpay now, you can secure one before prices increase even more as the update becomes older and harder to farm.
Tip #4: Negotiate in Private Messages
Once someone shows interest, move the negotiation to private messages. This prevents other traders from swooping in with better offers and gives you more time to build rapport.
Tip #5: Offer Neon Pets
If you have any Neon pets (even lower-tier ones), they often carry more perceived value than multiple regular pets. A Neon Ultra-Rare might trade equally to 2-3 legendaries in some cases.
Once you finally get your hands on this legendary pet, you’ll want to know how to raise it properly. Here’s the complete breakdown:
Like all legendary pets, the Dragonfruit Fox requires the most tasks to age up:
| Growth Stage | Tasks Required | Cumulative Tasks | Trick Learned |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newborn → Junior | 13 tasks | 13 total | Sit |
| Junior → Pre-Teen | 26 tasks | 39 total | Joyful |
| Pre-Teen → Teen | 38 tasks | 77 total | Beg |
| Teen → Post-Teen | 50 tasks | 127 total | Jump |
| Post-Teen → Full Grown | 62 tasks | 189 total | Trick 1, Trick 2 |
Total Tasks for Full Grown: 189 tasks
This is significantly more than common pets (which require only 60 total tasks), making legendary pet aging a serious time investment.
Based on my experience aging multiple legendaries, here’s how to speed up the process:
Build a Grinding House
Create a small house with everything your pet needs in one compact area:
Use a Private Server
Pets get hungry and thirsty faster on private servers, giving you more tasks to complete per hour. If you don’t have your own, ask friends if you can use theirs.
Task Completion Speed Tricks:
Aging Potions
You can obtain Aging Potions through:
Each Aging Potion instantly completes a portion of your pet’s aging progress. Save these for the Post-Teen → Full Grown grind, as it’s the longest stage.
If you’re a serious collector, you might be wondering about Neon variants. Let me break down what it takes:
To create a Neon Dragonfruit Fox, you need:
The Reality Check:
Given that each Dragonfruit Fox requires approximately 1,071,000 Pet Releaser Points (statistically speaking), creating a Neon variant would require:
1,071,000 × 4 = 4,284,000 Pet Releaser Points
Or roughly 85,680 pets released.
Yeah… that’s why as of January 2026, nobody has successfully created a Neon Dragonfruit Fox yet according to the official Adopt Me Wiki. The first player to create one will likely make huge waves in the community.
For the absolute mad lads out there, a Mega Neon requires:
Estimated Requirement:
This is purely theoretical at this point. I honestly can’t imagine anyone achieving this in 2026, but never say never with Adopt Me’s dedicated player base.
After helping dozens of players farm for their Dragonfruit Fox, I’ve noticed these critical mistakes that waste time and resources:
Many new players think aged pets give more Pet Releaser Points. This is false. A Newborn Common pet gives the same points as a Full Grown Common. Never waste time aging pets you plan to release – hatch and release immediately.
I’ve seen players accidentally release legendary pets they actually wanted to keep. Always double-check before confirming the release. The game will warn you for valuable pets, but it’s still easy to click through quickly.
Pro Tip: Create a separate storage house where you keep pets you want to save. Only have releasable pets in your main inventory.
Some players buy Royal Eggs ($1,450 each) thinking they’ll get more points. While Royal Eggs do give better pets on average, the Bucks-to-points ratio is terrible:
Royal Eggs are only 20% more efficient but cost over 4× more. Stick with Cracked Eggs for pure point farming.
The daily login system rewards players with free eggs, Bucks, and even Stars for the Star shop. Missing days means missing free resources that could speed up your Crystal Egg farming.
Set a phone reminder to log in daily, even if you only play for 5 minutes.
Some players, frustrated by bad RNG, trade their Crystal Eggs for other pets. DON’T DO THIS. Crystal Eggs themselves aren’t very valuable in trades compared to the 4,500 points they cost you to obtain. Always hatch eggs yourself.
As someone who’s been trading in Adopt Me since [cy-3], I’ve learned to spot value trends. Here’s my analysis of the Dragonfruit Fox’s future value:
Prediction: INCREASING
Reasons:
Investment Strategy: If you manage to get multiple Dragonfruit Foxes, hold onto extras. Their value will likely peak in 4-8 weeks after release.
Prediction: STABLE TO SLIGHT DECLINE
Reasons:
Investment Strategy: This is the ideal window to trade if you’re looking to convert your Dragonfruit Fox into other high-value pets. The value will stabilize but remain high.
Prediction: INCREASING AGAIN
Reasons:
Investment Strategy: If you’re a long-term player, keep at least one Dragonfruit Fox indefinitely. Legacy pets consistently appreciate over time.
Looking at historical data from similar update pets:
Axolotl (Ocean Egg – Released [cy-4]):
Phoenix (Mythic Egg – Released [cy-3]):
Based on these patterns, Dragonfruit Fox will likely follow a similar trajectory, making it an excellent long-term investment.
The Fresh Fruit Pets update didn’t just bring the Dragonfruit Fox – it also introduced four Fruit Owls. Here’s how they compare:
| Pet | Rarity | Cost | Hatch Rate | Free-to-Play? | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dragonfruit Fox | Legendary | 4,500 PP | 0.42% | Yes | Extreme |
| Pineapple Owl | Legendary | 195 Robux | 2.5% | No | Very High |
| Apple Owl | Legendary | 195 Robux | 10% | No | High |
| Peach Owl | Legendary | 195 Robux | 10% | No | High |
| Clementine Owl | Ultra-Rare | 195 Robux | 77.5% | No | Low |
**PP = Pet Releaser Points
If you’re asking “Should I grind for Dragonfruit Fox or buy Golden Seed Balls?”, here’s my honest take:
Choose Dragonfruit Fox if:
Choose Fruit Owls if:
Personally, I recommend grinding for at least one Dragonfruit Fox while you’re at it, since it’s free. Then if you have Robux to spare, supplement your collection with some Fruit Owls.
The only way to obtain a Dragonfruit Fox is by hatching it from a Crystal Egg, which costs 4,500 Pet Releaser Points. Alternatively, you can trade with other players who have already hatched one.
The Dragonfruit Fox has approximately a 0.42% hatch rate from Crystal Eggs. This means you can expect to hatch one every 238 eggs on average, though some players get lucky sooner while others take much longer.
You need exactly 4,500 Pet Releaser Points to purchase one Crystal Egg from the Pet Releaser system.
No, the Dragonfruit Fox cannot be purchased directly with Robux. It’s exclusively available through the Crystal Egg system, which requires Pet Releaser Points earned by releasing pets.
The fastest method is purchasing and hatching Cracked Eggs ($350 each), then immediately releasing the pets without aging them. You can also participate in events, claim daily rewards, and trade for bulk common pets to release.
Yes, the Dragonfruit Fox is currently one of the most valuable new pets in Adopt Me as of January 2026. Its extremely low hatch rate and free-to-play legendary status make it highly sought after. If you can get one through trading for a reasonable price, it’s worth considering.
The time varies dramatically based on your farming method and luck. Using the Mass Egg Hatch Method with consistent daily grinding, you can earn enough points for 10-20 Crystal Eggs per week. Some players hatch one in their first few eggs, while others take months. Plan for at least 2-4 weeks of serious grinding if you’re free-to-play.
Yes, you can create a Neon Dragonfruit Fox by combining four Full Grown Dragonfruit Foxes in the Neon Cave. However, as of January 2026, no player has successfully created one yet due to the extreme difficulty of obtaining four of these pets.
The Dragonfruit Fox learns six tricks as it ages: Sit (Newborn), Joyful (Junior), Beg (Pre-Teen), Jump (Teen), Trick 1 (Post-Teen), and Trick 2 (Full Grown).
This hasn’t been officially confirmed, but based on Adopt Me’s update history, the Fresh Fruit Pets update will likely rotate out eventually, making the Dragonfruit Fox a legacy pet. This typically happens 3-6 months after an update’s release.
Both are legendary fruit-themed pets from the same update, but they have different value propositions. The Dragonfruit Fox is harder to obtain (0.42% vs 2.5% hatch rate) and is free-to-play, while the Pineapple Owl requires Robux but has a higher hatch rate. In terms of trading value, they’re currently similar, but the Dragonfruit Fox may appreciate more as a free-to-play legendary.
Statistically, you need to earn 1,071,000 Pet Releaser Points to have a 50% chance of hatching one Dragonfruit Fox (238 Crystal Eggs). If you’re releasing common pets that give ~50 points each, that’s approximately 21,420 pets. However, using more efficient farming methods with bulk egg hatching can reduce the time significantly.
No, this is a common myth. Pet rarity determines points, not age. A Newborn Common pet gives the same points as a Full Grown Common. Never waste time aging pets you plan to release.
As of January 2026, a regular Dragonfruit Fox trades for approximately 3-4 mid-tier legendaries or 2 high-value legendaries. Values fluctuate based on demand, so always check current trading websites before making offers.
Save Aging Potions for the Post-Teen to Full Grown stage, as it requires the most tasks (62). Using them earlier is less efficient since earlier stages complete relatively quickly with focused task grinding.
If you’re reading this far, you’re clearly serious about getting multiple Dragonfruit Foxes or maximizing your efficiency. Here are some advanced tactics I’ve developed:

When trading FOR a Dragonfruit Fox:
After all this grinding, testing, and trading, here’s my honest verdict:
YES, the Dragonfruit Fox is absolutely worth it – but only if you approach it with the right expectations.
This isn’t a pet you’ll get in a day. It’s not even a pet you’ll likely get in a week. The Dragonfruit Fox represents one of Adopt Me’s most challenging grinds, and that’s precisely what makes it valuable. When you finally hatch that pink, fruit-themed fox from your Crystal Egg, the satisfaction is unlike anything else in the game.
From a pure trading investment perspective, the Dragonfruit Fox is one of the best free-to-play pets you can obtain in 2026. Its value rivals pets that cost hundreds of Robux, yet you can get it through dedication alone. That’s a powerful position to be in as a trader.
But beyond value and trading, there’s something special about having a pet that represents dozens of hours of effort. Every time I see my Dragonfruit Fox following me around, I remember the grind – and I’m proud of it.
