How Pet XP Works in Grow a Garden

Pets gain XP passively over time while they have hunger. Each age level requires more XP than the last — the formula is floor(20 × n²·⁰²) XP per level, where n is your current age. This means every step gets progressively more expensive.

At age 50+, each level takes thousands of XP — helper pets like Capybara and Night Owl that boost your XP gain become essential. Pet mutations also unlock at higher ages.
