Q: Can I still get Dinosaur Eggs in 2025?
A: No, Dinosaur Eggs are no longer obtainable. The Prehistoric Update event ended on July 12, 2025. They cannot be obtained through regular gameplay, trading, or any other current method.
Q: Which dinosaur pet is the most valuable?
A: T-Rex is by far the most valuable with its Apex Predator ability. It can spread high-value mutations like Corrupt Chakraor Amber to multiple fruits, creating massive profit opportunities.
Q: How does T-Rex compare to other mutation pets?
A: T-Rex is unique because it actively moves mutations between fruits. Unlike pets that just add mutations, T-Rex can concentrate valuable mutations from multiple sources onto your most expensive crops, making it superior to most other mutation pets.
Q: What's the difference between Dinosaur Egg and Primal Egg?
A: Primal Eggs were the upgraded version containing different dinosaur pets like Spinosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus. Both egg types are now unobtainable, but Primal Eggs generally had more specialized late-game abilities.
