A duped pet in Grow a Garden is an illegitimate copy of a real pet, created through hacks or exploits. Dupers use third-party tools to clone high-value pets โ then flood the trade market with them at below-market prices. These pets look completely identical to legitimate ones in-game, which is what makes them so dangerous.
The three main reasons duped pets are a serious problem:

Based on community reports and the known dupe database, these are the most commonly duplicated pets. The list updates as new dupes are discovered โ always cross-check before trading high-value pets.
| Pet Type | Known Duped Names | Dupe Risk | Why Targeted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raccoon | Multiple entries โ most common dupe | Very High | Most duped pet in the game โ community-confirmed across forums |
| Butterfly | Ann (age 27), Daisy (age 34), Dumi (age 38), Tilia (age 22) | Very High | High trade value, easy target for dupers to replicate |
| Brachiosaurus | Danny, Danny #2, Danny (alt), Dumi, Gini, Mimi, Noni, Sammi | Very High | Extremely high weight values make them premium scam bait |
| Disco Sea | Cent (age 48), Sammy (age 45) | High | High-value event pet, frequently cloned for quick profits |
| Dog | Bella, Cappy, Coni, Clio, Danny, Dumi, Goo, Gus, Joe, Joo, Jaavy, Jaavy (alt), Jos, Luna, Molly, Molly (alt), Minty, Noni, Noni (alt), Sammy, Sammy (alt) | Very High | Largest number of known duped entries in the database |
| Dragonfly | Community reported โ multiple entries | Medium-High | Second most duped pet per community consensus |
| Red Kit / Red Fox | Community reported | Medium | Popular appearance, mid-range trade value makes it a scam target |
| Queen Bee | Community reported | Medium | Seen duped per community reports โ verify age/weight carefully |
| Disco Bee | Community reported โ rare cases | Lower | Occasionally seen but less common than top entries |
| Tiger | Post-EVO plant release | Lower | Emerged after EVO plant event โ hacker-cut copies reported |
Duped pets are impossible to spot visually โ they look exactly like legitimate pets in-game. You need to use the weight and age data to detect them. Here is how to do it properly.
Ask the seller for exact age and weight. Use our pet weight calculator to verify the values match. A mismatch is an immediate red flag.
Compare the pet's name, age, and weight against the known dupe database above. Exact matches mean confirmed dupe โ walk away.
Calculate back to hatch weight using the formula. If the implied hatch weight is physically impossible for that pet type, it was duplicated or hacked.
When using the dupe checker, set tolerance to "Strict" for high-value trades. A "Near" match at strict tolerance means significant overlap with known dupes โ do not trade.
Input the pet's exact weight in kg as shown in the in-game pet menu. Use full decimal precision โ 28.93 not just 28.
Input the pet's current age (1โ100). Age combined with weight gives the checker enough data to match against the dupe database.
Choose Strict (0.01), Low, or Cautious. For high-value pets always use Strict. Cautious is useful for quick checks on common pets.
A clean result means no known dupe match. Any match โ even "Near" at strict tolerance โ means the pet shares data with a known duped entry.
Use this formula manually to back-calculate hatch weight and cross-reference with known class ranges for that pet type.

Yes โ and this is the part most guides skip. Duped pets are bannable in Grow a Garden, and the ban applies even if you received the pet without knowing it was duped. Roblox moderation does not require intent โ possession and trading of known duped items is enough.
Here is what happens when a duped pet reaches your account:
Every pet in Grow a Garden has a fixed weight range based on its class. If a seller's pet shows a weight that falls outside the possible range for that pet type's class, it is physically impossible and therefore duped or hacked. Use the pet weight calculator alongside this table.
| Class | Hatch Weight Range | Max Age 100 Weight | Reward Multiplier | Dupe Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 0.5 โ 1.0 kg | Up to 5 kg | 1x | Low |
| Huge | 1.0 โ 1.6 kg | 5 โ 8 kg | 5x | Medium |
| Titanic | 1.6 โ 3.2 kg | 8 โ 16 kg | 7x | High |
| Godly | 3.2 โ 6.0 kg | 16 โ 30 kg | 8x | Very High |
| Colossal | 6.0 kg+ | 30+ kg | 10x | Extreme |
Cross-reference pet age and weight using the egg hatching calculator to verify whether the stated hatch weight is physically achievable for that class.
Most players only look at the pet's name and visual. Duped pets look identical to real ones. The only reliable check is weight-to-age ratio. A Raccoon at age 1 with 28kg is impossible โ but it looks real in-game. Always use both values together, not one alone.
Dupers need to move copies fast, so they price them below market. If a Brachiosaurus or Butterfly is listed significantly cheaper than its known trade value, that is almost always because it is duped. Use the trade calculator to verify real market value before any deal.
Many players set tolerance to Cautious and dismiss Near matches. On a high-value pet, a Near match at strict tolerance is a serious warning. The dupe database only contains confirmed entries โ a Near match means your pet shares weight and age data with a known duped copy.
Any legitimate seller can show you the pet's stats at age 1 if they have screenshots or remember. If a seller refuses to confirm hatch weight or can't explain the growth history, that is a warning sign. Legitimate high-value pets have verifiable histories.
Dog and Raccoon are common pets but they top the dupe list. Dupers clone whatever is convenient and profitable. Common pets with inflated weights are some of the most dangerous because traders assume they are safe to trade without checking. Every pet needs verification regardless of rarity.
Every single trade โ no exceptions. Takes 30 seconds and protects your account completely. Use the weight calculator every time.
Before checking trade value, check if the pet is even in the dupe list. A duped pet has zero value โ trade value checks are pointless if the pet is flagged.
Screenshot the pet's age and weight before and after any trade. This is your only protection if a dispute arises or the trade needs to be reversed.
Check our tier list for legitimate pet values. If the offer doesn't match tier expectations, something is wrong.
Duped pets sometimes carry fake mutation claims. Verify any mutation bonus using the celestial multiplier guide before paying premium for mutation effects.
Divide current weight by current age to get the implied hatch weight. Then check if that hatch weight is physically possible for the pet's stated class. A Raccoon at age 50 showing 25kg implies a hatch weight of 0.5kg โ which puts it in Normal class, not Godly. That contradiction is your proof it's been hacked or duped. This manual check catches things the dupe list hasn't catalogued yet.
If you see the same pet โ same name, same age, same weight โ appearing from multiple different sellers simultaneously, those are confirmed duplicates. Legitimate pets are unique. The same entry showing up in multiple trade offers is the clearest possible dupe signal. Walk away from all of them.
Brontosaurus is one of the most heavily duped pet categories due to extreme weight values. Our Brontosaurus guide contains specific weight tables for this pet type. Cross-referencing any Brachiosaurus/Brontosaurus trade against those tables gives you an additional verification layer beyond the standard dupe checker.
If a seller claims their pet hatched from a specific egg type, use the egg hatching calculator to verify whether that egg type can even produce a pet with the stated hatch weight. Many duped pets are presented as coming from eggs that cannot physically produce their weight class โ this is an instant red flag that most buyers never check.
If you find a duped pet that isn't in the known database, report it to community forums. The dupe list grows through community contribution. Reporting protects every other trader from the same entry. Include the exact pet type, name, age, and weight when reporting โ these four data points are what gets an entry confirmed and added to the database.
