A quick look at the French Fry Ferret

- Rarity: Prismatic

- Available: Yes

- Gourmet Egg Chance: 1%

- Hunger: 38,000

- Ability: Increases the level of another random pet by 1 every 59 minutes.

What makes the French Fry Ferret stand out is not only its rarity, but also the impact it can have on the other pets in your garden.

How to Get the French Fry Ferret

The only way to obtain this pet is through the Gourmet Egg. The chance of the egg containing a French Fry Ferret is just 1%, so patience, persistence, and a good dose of luck will need to be on your side.

To get a Gourmet Egg, you’ll need to participate in the Cooking Event. This event, which is part of the update, focuses on combining ingredients from your garden to prepare recipes requested by Chef Chris P. Bacon.

Here’s how it works:

- Grow or collect ingredients in your garden.

- Combine the ingredients following the available recipes.

- Deliver the dishes the chef requests.

The rarer the ingredients you use, the higher your chances of getting valuable rewards. Among these is the Gourmet Egg, which is our main goal. This makes cultivating high-rarity plants essential.

The French Fry Ferret’s Unique Ability

Every 59 minutes, the French Fry Ferret increases the level of a random pet in your garden. While this boost may seem modest, the fact that it happens automatically and consistently makes it a very powerful tool in the long run.
