Alright, it’s officially fall in Grow a Garden, and honestly, this update might be the coziest one yet. The devs dropped a new seasonal event called the Chubby Chipmunk, and it’s packed with adorable little critters, nutty plants, and a whole bunch of rewards that fit perfectly with the fall vibe.
But the thing everyone’s talking about? The Nutty Chest – a new brown chest that looks straight out of a squirrel’s stash. It’s cute, it’s exclusive, and it comes with some seriously good loot. So if you’re wondering how to get it (and what’s inside), here’s everything you need to know – from the free methods to the ones that cost Robux.
So, What’s the Nutty Chest Exactly?
Let’s start simple, the Nutty Chest is this fall-themed reward box that shows up during the Chubby Chipmunk event. It’s brown with a lighter bottom and a darker lid, topped off with a tiny acorn design. It looks small, but don’t underestimate it, this chest can drop some of the best seeds and pets of the entire season.
The items are all themed around autumn and chipmunks, so if you’re into collecting rare pets or farming cool plants, you’ll definitely want to grab a few.
How to Get the Nutty Chest in Grow a Garden
You can only start farming for Nutty Chests after the main weather and admin events wrap up. Once that’s done, the Chipmunk event kicks in and you’ve got three solid ways to get your hands on these chests:
- Free Chipmunk Rewards
- The Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track
- The In-Game Shop
Let’s go through them one by one.
Free Chipmunk Rewards (The Easiest Method)
The best part about this update? You can actually earn Nutty Chests for free – no Robux needed.
Here’s how it works: when the update goes live, head to the center of the lobby and look for the new Nuts NPC. Just to the right of that NPC, there’s a banner. Interact with it and you’ll get a free Chubby Chipmunk pet instantly.
Now place that little guy in your garden. After a while, you’ll see it start doing its thing, eating random plants, gaining some weight (relatable 😅), and then dropping Acorns around the lobby.
Those Acorns are important. Each one gives you a random reward when you pick it up, and yes, there’s a small chance one of those rewards could be a Nutty Chest.
It’s a bit of a grind, sure, but it’s free. And since you can keep repeating it, it’s actually a chill way to farm while you’re just hanging around or growing plants.
The Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track
The next method is through the Chubby Chipmunk Reward Track, which is right next to the Nuts NPC in the lobby.
When you interact with the Reward Track board, you’ll see a list of prizes that unlock as you progress in the event — and yes, the Nutty Chest is one of them. You’ll find it sprinkled between other rewards like crates, tools, and cosmetics.
So what do you have to do? It’s pretty simple: help your Chubby Chipmunk grow bigger. The heavier it gets, the further you move along the reward track. Basically, your chipmunk’s weight is the progress bar.
Keep feeding it, watch it balloon up, and you’ll start unlocking better rewards over time. It’s kind of funny watching it grow, and at the same time, you’re getting some great stuff for doing it.
If you want to speed this up, try focusing on faster-growing plants or following some farming tricks. The bigger the chipmunk, the better your loot. Easy win.
Buy from the In-Game Shop
And finally, if you don’t feel like grinding or waiting around, you can just buy the chests directly from the in-game shop using Robux.
To get there, click the Shop button on the left side of your screen. Under the Exotic Nutty Chest section, you’ll see a few options:
- 1 Chest – 199 Robux
- 3 Chests – 575 Robux
- 10 Chests – 1,699 Robux
Now, here’s the cool part, if you open a total of 125 Exotic Nutty Chests, you’re guaranteed to pull a Rainbow mutated seed or pet. So yeah, it’s pricey, but if you’re a collector or just someone who loves rare pets, it might be worth it.
All Nutty Chest Rewards (Full List)
If you’re curious about what’s actually inside, here’s the full drop list for the Nutty Chest and their rarities:
| Reward | Rarity |
|---|---|
| Hazelnut | Rare |
| Farmer Chipmunk | Rare |
| Persimmon | Legendary |
| Idol Chipmunk | Legendary |
| Acorn | Divine |
| Chinchilla | Divine |
From this list, the Acorn and Chinchilla are the real jackpot items. Both are Divine rarity and have strong passive traits that make them super valuable. The Acorn’s especially cool because it ties in perfectly with the event theme, while the Chinchilla is just straight-up adorable (and powerful).
If you get either of these two, you’ve basically hit the jackpot for the season.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Chubby Chipmunk event is honestly one of the most fun updates we’ve had in Grow a Garden in a while. It’s got that cozy fall vibe, cute pets, and just enough grind to keep things interesting without feeling boring.
Whether you’re out there collecting acorns, growing your chubby buddy, or opening those shiny chests, there’s always something rewarding to do.
Personally, I’d say start with the free methods first, the acorn drops and the reward track, before spending Robux. You might get lucky and pull a Nutty Chest naturally.
And hey, if you’ve already managed to get the Chinchilla, props to you. That’s one of the best finds this season. If not, keep grinding, it’ll show up eventually.
