The Rhino is a mythical pet introduced during the Safari Harvest Event in Grow A Garden. Like other Safari pets, it's designed to interact directly with your garden's growth cycle, but its effect leans more toward accelerating progression and boosting rare mutations, making it a strategic pick for players focused on efficient breeding, hatching, or mutation-based farming.

The Rhino in Grow A Garden has a strong, blocky design with a stone-gray base color. Its body is made up of chunky rectangular segments, giving it a rugged, almost statue-like appearance. A white horn sits at the center of its head, which stands out clearly against the gray body. Overall, it closely resembles a real rhino, but with the game's signature low-poly, stylized aesthetic—solid, weighty, and imposing on the field.
The Rhino can be obtained from the Safari Egg, which is available only during the Safari Harvest Event.
| Method | Details |

| Egg | Safari Egg (Limited Event) |
| Chance | 8.5% chance to hatch |
| Hatch Time | ~4 hours 10 minutes |
| Tier | Mythical |
Because the Rhino has one of the lowest hatch rates among Safari pets (only Elephant is rarer), obtaining it through hatching is largely luck-based. For players not willing to rely purely on RNG, trading or purchasing is common.
You can also buy the Rhino Pet from U4GM for $1.99, a straightforward option for players who prefer guaranteed acquisition instead of random egg rolls.

For players who are focused on long-term growth strategies, Rhino is worth acquiring. Casual players may find it less essential than Zebra or Giraffe, but it becomes increasingly impactful as your garden develops.
The Rhino is a mythical, limited-time pet that provides powerful utility through hatch time reduction and Mirage mutation assignment. It is most beneficial to players who are actively pursuing fruit mutation optimization or rapid pet progression. Although its hatch rate is low, it can be obtained through trading or purchased directly for convenience.
