How to Buy Eggs in Adopt Me: Step-by-Step Guide

Eggs have been part of Adopt Me since pets first launched back in 2019, and they've remained the main gateway into the game's entire pet system ever since. Every player's first purchase inside the Nursery is usually an egg, either the free Starter Egg given to newcomers or one purchased with Bucks immediately after. The system has expanded significantly since its launch, with dozens of egg types introduced over the years. Some remain in the shop permanently, while others disappear the moment an event concludes.

Buying an egg sounds simple, but new players often get stuck on where to actually find them, which currency applies, and which options are worth the price. The Nursery keeps three eggs in stock at all times, alongside a rotating option through the Gumball Machine, and costs shift a lot depending on rarity and which pets are inside.

In this article, we'll explore where to buy eggs in Adopt Me, what each one costs, and break down the eggs currently available so you know exactly what your options are before spending your Bucks.

Where to Buy Eggs in Adopt Me

The Nursery is the main spot for buying eggs, and it sits in the center of Adoption Island. Walk inside and head to the pets' side of the building, where you'll find the standard egg displays along with the Gumball Machine. The Cracked Egg, Pet Egg, and Royal Egg are sold here at all times, so you can grab one of these three whenever you have enough Bucks.

The Gumball Machine sits in the same room and stocks a separate, rotating egg that changes on a schedule set by Adopt Me. Once that Gumball egg cycles out, it's gone from the machine for good, though it may still show up through trading later on.

Players with the VIP Gamepass get access to one more option, the Retired Egg, sold inside the Nursery's VIP room for 600 Bucks. Without the gamepass, this egg is only obtainable through trading with other players.

How to Buy an Egg

Buying an egg only takes a few steps once you're standing in front of the display you want.

1. Head to the Nursery at the center of Adoption Island.

2. Walk up to the egg you want to buy, whether that's one of the three permanent eggs or the current Gumball Machine egg.

3. Press the purchase prompt that appears near the egg.

4. Confirm the Bucks cost shown on screen.

5. Check your inventory under the pets tab, where the egg will now sit ready to hatch.

Once you own the egg, you'll need to complete a set number of tasks before it hatches, usually feeding, bathing, or putting the pet to sleep.

All Current Eggs and Their Prices

Prices vary a lot depending on which egg you're after and what pool of pets it pulls from. Here's a breakdown of every egg currently available, along with what each one costs and where to find it.

The Cracked Egg is the cheapest option and mostly hatches into common and rare pets, making it a solid pick if you're just stocking up on Bucks-friendly filler pets. The Pet Egg sits in the middle, offering better odds at ultra-rare pets without the steep price tag of the Royal Egg. The Royal Egg costs the most out of the three permanent options, but it's also the only one with a real shot at a legendary pet on a standard pull.

Final Words

Buying eggs in Adopt Me comes down to knowing where to look and picking the right one for your goals. The Nursery covers the three permanent options, the Gumball Machine rotates in a new egg on its own schedule, and the VIP room offers one more path for players with the gamepass.

New players are usually better off starting cheap with the Cracked Egg, while anyone chasing a legendary pet through normal hatching should save up for the Royal Egg. Whatever you choose, keep an eye on the Gumball Machine, since once its current egg cycles out, it won't come back.
