Adopt Me received a notable Pets Plus update on April 3, 2026, as part of the Sugarfest Week 4 content drop. The biggest change to the subscription service is the arrival of three brand-new guinea pig pets, replacing the previous Hummingbird lineup entirely. If you are wondering how to get them, what the odds look like, and whether they are worth pursuing, this guide covers everything you need to know.
What Changed in the Pets Plus Update
The developers replaced the Golden Petunia reward with a new item called the Golden Lettuce, and swapped out the old Pets Plus Sticker Pack for the Vol. 2 Pets Plus Sticker Pack, which features 22 new stickers to collect. Alongside those changes, the price of Pets Plus was changed from US$2.99 to 299 Robux per month on April 1, 2026.
Players who were already subscribed at the time of the update received a bonus Golden Lettuce and the new sticker pack automatically upon joining the game. After that, the Golden Lettuce and a new sticker pack are delivered each month when the subscription renews, along with the other existing Pets Plus rewards, such as VIP access and a Pet Handler Pro Certificate. Existing subscribers can simply log in and enjoy the new items waiting in their inventory without needing to do anything extra.
How to Get the Golden Lettuce
The Golden Lettuce is the key item needed to obtain a guinea pig pet. There is only one reliable way to get it through normal gameplay.
– Subscribe to Pets Plus for 299 Robux per month through the in-game shop.
– Upon subscribing or renewing, the Golden Lettuce is added to your inventory automatically.
– You can find the Pets Plus subscription easily through the Shop menu in Adopt Me.
Once you have the Golden Lettuce, you need to head outside of Adoption Island and use it from the Gifts section. The animation plays out and then reveals which guinea pig you have received. The process is straightforward, but the outcome is entirely down to chance based on the rarity percentages below.
If you do not want to subscribe, trading is the other option. The guinea pigs are tradable, but availability is tight early on because demand is high for a freshly released pet. Waiting a few weeks before attempting to trade is likely the more economical move if you are not in a hurry.
The Three Guinea Pig Pets and Their Rarity
Players have an 87.5% chance of obtaining a Chocolate Dutch Guinea Pig, a 10% chance of obtaining a Red Dutch Guinea Pig, and a 2.5% chance of obtaining a Tortoiseshell Guinea Pig from a Golden Lettuce. Every single throw of the Golden Lettuce is guaranteed to produce at least an Ultra Rare pet, which makes it a strong value proposition compared to many other pet-obtaining methods in the game.
Here is a closer look at each of the three guinea pigs:
Chocolate Dutch Guinea Pig
The Chocolate Dutch Guinea Pig is an ultra-rare pet that was released on April 3, 2026. It is obtainable through purchasing the Pets Plus subscription and using the Golden Lettuce, or through trading. There is an 87.5% chance of obtaining it from the Golden Lettuce. The Neon Chocolate Dutch Guinea Pig glows pink on its forehead, inner ears, and on patches of its body. As the most common of the three variants, this one has a relatively lower trade value compared to the legendary options, but it is still a desirable pet with a clean design and solid Neon potential for players building toward a Neon project.
Red Dutch Guinea Pig
The Red Dutch Guinea Pig is a legendary pet with a 10% chance of being obtained from the Golden Lettuce. The Red Dutch Guinea Pig features a vibrant orange-red coat that stands out immediately in trading menus, and community reaction to the official teasers for this pet has been notably positive. Getting this on your first throw is considered a very lucky outcome. At a 10% drop rate, it is achievable but far from guaranteed.
Tortoiseshell Guinea Pig
The Tortoiseshell Guinea Pig is a legendary pet released on April 3, 2026. There is a 2.5% chance of obtaining it from the Golden Lettuce. This is the rarest of the three and the one that most players are hoping to land. The Tortoiseshell Guinea Pig has a black and orange patch design, and the overall trading community has called it the most wanted of the three when throwing a Golden Lettuce. From a pure trade value perspective, this is the best guinea pig to receive.
The tricks this pet learns in order are: Sit at Newborn, Joyful at Junior, Beg at Pre-Teen, Jump at Teen, and Trick 1 at Post-Teen. The same trick progression applies to both other guinea pig variants as well.
Tricks All Guinea Pigs Learn
All three guinea pig pets share the same trick progression as they age up:
– Newborn: Sit
– Junior: Joyful
– Pre-Teen: Beg
– Teen: Jump
– Post-Teen: Trick 1
– Full Grown: Trick 2
This follows the standard aging structure used across most pets in Adopt Me, so players already familiar with how aging works will not need to adjust their approach.
Is Pets Plus Worth Buying for the Guinea Pigs?
The value of the subscription comes down to how much you want the guinea pig pets versus how much you value the other perks bundled in.
What you get each month with Pets Plus:
– One Golden Lettuce, which produces one random guinea pig
– A new sticker pack (Vol. 2 Pets Plus Sticker Pack during this update cycle)
– VIP access and benefits
– A Pet Handler Pro Certificate, which allows you to take out two pets at a time simultaneously
– A streak saver that preserves your login streak regardless of missed days
– A legendary treat
The Pet Handler Pro Certificate alone is a genuinely useful perk for players who want to show off multiple pets at once. The sticker pack, VIP benefits, and streak saver add additional ongoing value.
Supply of all three guinea pigs is limited by the Pets Plus subscriber count, which keeps them scarcer than pets obtainable from boxes or eggs. This scarcity factor means that even the most common variant, the Chocolate Dutch, holds real trade value simply because it is a Pets Plus-exclusive pet.
What Replaced the Hummingbirds
The three guinea pigs replace the Hummingbird pets and the Golden Petunia as part of the revised Pets Plus Pass structure. Previously, players received a Golden Petunia every time the Pets Plus subscription was purchased or renewed between August 30, 2024, and April 3, 2026. The shift to guinea pigs marks a new chapter for the subscription rewards, and based on community reception, the guinea pigs have been very well received as a replacement.
Final Thoughts
The Adopt Me guinea pig update is one of the more exciting Pets Plus refreshes in recent memory. Three visually distinct pets with clear rarity tiers, a guaranteed minimum of Ultra Rare on every throw, and strong trading potential make the Golden Lettuce a compelling monthly reward. Whether you are subscribing for the first time or already had an active subscription when the update dropped, the guinea pig lineup gives players a fresh reason to engage with Pets Plus. The Tortoiseshell Guinea Pig may be the hardest to land at 2.5%, but even walking away with the Chocolate Dutch or Red Dutch is a worthwhile result.
