Chubby Fever and Nutty Fever event in Grow a Garden explained
There's two important parts of the Chubby Chipmunk event you need to keep in mind when playing Grow a Garden - the Chubby Chipmunk itself and Nutty Fever.
Chubby Chipmunk
The Chubby Chipmunk can be obtained for free by talking to the NPC, NUTs in the event area sitting in the middle of the garden plots. Once obtained, the Chubby Chipmunk will start eating your crops. Oh no! But the more weight it puts on, the more rewards you'll unlock. Hurray!
The Chipmunk will eat a crop every 118 seconds (essentially 2 minutes), and each time it does this the Chubby Chipmunk will also spawn an acorn around the map. Collecting these acorns will allow you to collect a variety of different rewards – we got 15 Watering Cans on our first pickup. Quite a nice passive bonus!


The main rewards, however, are the ones you'll obtain by reaching specific weight markers and there's a way to speed up these rewards…
Nutty Fever
By submitting 1,500 points worth of crops to the NUTS NPC, you can activate Nutty Fever. This lasts for five minutes and, during this time, the Chubby Chopmunk will consume crops at a faster rate. This means during Nutty Fever its weight will increase faster!
Acorns will also spawn more frequently around the map during Nutty Fever.
Different rarities of crop provide a different amount of points, and they are as follows:
- Common - 1
- Uncommon - 2
- Rare - 3
- Legendary - 4
- Mythical - 5
- Divine - 6
- Prismatic - 7
- Transcendent - 8
