What Is the Adopt Me Active Needs Update?
The Adopt Me Active Needs Update changes the speed of the game. Usually, you have to wait a while for your pet to get hungry, thirsty, or sick. During this event, these “needs” pop up much faster.
When a need pops up, and you fulfill it (like feeding your pet), you get a reward. Since the needs happen more often, you get rewards more often. This is basically a version of Adopt Me double XP but with a twist, it requires you to be active.
Why Should You Care?
This update is perfect for two types of players:
- The Grinders: If you want to make Neon or Mega Neon pets, this is the best time to play.
- The Savers: If you want to save up Bucks for future eggs or updates, you can earn money very fast right now.
Leo’s Pro Tip: Do not just stand around! The needs appear faster, so you need to move quickly between the school, the campsite, and your home to maximize your earnings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to the most common questions players are asking about this update.
Is the Active Needs update permanent?
No, the Active Needs update is a limited-time event. It only lasts for one week. After the week ends, the speed of pet needs will go back to normal. You should play as much as you can before the timer runs out.
Does the bonus XP apply to eggs?
Yes, the bonus XP works for eggs too. Because needs appear faster, you will complete the tasks required to hatch an egg much quicker than usual. It is a great time to clear out your inventory of unhatched eggs.
Can I use the 5th Pet Pen slot after the event?
The 5th Pet Pen slot is a feature introduced with the update. Usually, quality-of-life changes like this stay in the game, but the speed boost itself is temporary. Check the specific patch notes in the game to be sure about the slot’s permanence.
How much extra money can I make?
There is no limit to how much you can make. If you play for one hour efficiently using the baby method, you can earn significantly more Bucks than a standard hour of gameplay. Some players report earning 2x their normal rate.
Is this update good for new players?
Yes, absolutely. If you are new to Roblox, this event helps you catch up. You can grow your starter pet quickly and earn enough money to buy your first premium egg much faster than normal players.
