How to Get Retired Egg in Adopt Me: Complete Guide
The Retired Egg has been in Adopt Me since July 21, 2022. Back then, the original Cracked, Pet, and Royal eggs got a full pet refresh, and instead of removing the old pets from the game for good, the developers moved every single one of them into this new egg.
Getting your hands on one takes a bit more effort than a regular Nursery purchase. The Retired Egg sits inside the VIP room and costs 600 Bucks, but only players with the VIP Gamepass can buy it directly from that spot. Players without VIP aren't completely locked out either, since trading with other players remains a valid way to pick one up.
In this article, we'll explore how to obtain the Retired Egg, from unlocking the VIP room and buying it directly to trading for one, along with the full list of pets waiting inside it.
How to Get the Retired Egg in Adopt Me
The main way to get the Retired Egg is by buying it inside the VIP room at the Nursery. Here's how:
Head to the Nursery on Adoption Island.
Enter the VIP room, located past the main hatching area.
Walk up to the Retired Egg kiosk near the entrance.
Buy the egg for 600 Bucks. There's no purchase limit, so you can buy as many as you want.
Getting into the VIP room requires the VIP Gamepass, which costs 640 Robux. This is a one-time purchase tied to your account, so you won't need to buy it again once you own it. The gamepass also unlocks a few extras inside the room itself, including free food and drinks and access to the Golden Bone.
If you don't want to spend Robux on the gamepass, trading is the other route. Other players who already own the Retired Egg can send it to you through the regular in-game trade window, no VIP access required on your end. Just keep in mind that since it's the only egg most non-VIP players can't buy directly, some traders value it higher than its actual Bucks price when negotiating.
Is the VIP Gamepass Worth It?
The VIP Gamepass costs 640 Robux, and it's a one-time purchase that stays on your account for good. Here's everything it unlocks:
Access to the VIP room, where the Retired Egg and Golden Bone are sold.
An exclusive Limo, a six-seater vehicle that changes color based on your favorite color setting.
An exclusive VIP house.
A crown icon next to your name, along with a yellow name tag.
Free food and drinks inside the VIP room, including Ham, VIP Popcorn, and VIP Chocolate Milk.
For 640 Robux, most of these perks are permanent, and the Retired Egg access alone makes it worth considering if you're aiming to complete your pet collection without relying purely on trades.
If you'd rather not spend Robux upfront, Pets Plus is the alternative. It's a monthly subscription that costs 299 Robux (roughly $2.99 depending on your region) and includes every VIP perk for as long as you're subscribed, plus a few extras like equipping two pets at once and a higher Bucks cap. The Limo and house perks become permanent the first time you subscribe, but VIP room access itself, along with the name tag, switches off once the subscription ends. This makes Pets Plus a solid option if you only need the Retired Egg for a short stretch and don't want to commit to the one-time Robux cost.
All Pets in the Retired Egg
The Retired Egg holds 16 pets spread across four rarity tiers. Here's a breakdown:
Pet | Rarity |
|---|---|
Buffalo | Common |
Cat | Common |
Dog | Common |
Otter | Common |
Chocolate Labrador | Uncommon |
Fennec Fox | Uncommon |
Puma | Uncommon |
Snow Cat | Uncommon |
Beaver | Rare |
Bunny | Rare |
Rabbit | Rare |
Snow Puma | Rare |
Red Panda | Ultra-Rare |
Shiba Inu | Ultra-Rare |
Dragon | Legendary |
Unicorn | Legendary |
Common and Uncommon pets make up half the pool, so most hatches land there. The Rare and Ultra-Rare tiers thin out from four pets to two, and the Legendary tier caps things off with the Dragon and Unicorn, the two best possible pulls from this egg.
Final Words
The Retired Egg is one of the few ways to hatch pets that would otherwise require trading, and getting VIP access pays off quickly if you're still working on your collection. Whether you grab the VIP Gamepass for a one-time cost or go with Pets Plus for a lighter monthly commitment, both routes get you into the VIP room. If Robux isn't an option right now, trading with other players still works, so a full collection isn't locked behind a purchase.
