In the Roblox simulator [✨NEW] CATCH AN EGG by DevX Studio Official, hatching eggs requires catching roaming eggs across the map, carrying them back to your base pen, placing them onto an open slot, and waiting out the incubation timer. Once the countdown finishes, interact with the egg to crack it open into a pet that generates cash per second.

How to Catch and Hatch Eggs Step by Step

Catching and hatching eggs follows an incremental gameplay loop. To hatch your first pet and start earning cash, follow these recorded gameplay steps:

  1. Locate an egg in the play area: Eggs spawn with legs across different biomes and run away when approached. Common eggs stay closer to starter zones, while higher-tier eggs spawn deeper in areas like the desert or magma zone.
  2. Chase and capture the egg: Run up to the egg to collect it. Higher-rarity eggs require higher player speed (for example, epic eggs require at least 2,000 speed to reliably catch) and upgraded tools such as the Strong Net for specific biomes.
  3. Carry the egg back to your base: Navigate back to your personal base plot. If another player or beast is chasing you, avoid getting tackled on the way back.
  4. Place the egg into a pen slot: Walk up to your base slots and interact to deposit the egg. Default pens start with 4 base slots.
  5. Wait for the incubation timer: An incubation timer appears above the egg. Timers range from a few seconds to multiple hours depending on the egg's rarity. You can also pay Robux to skip the timer and open it immediately.
  6. Open the egg: Once the timer displays that the egg is ready, interact with it to hatch your pet.
  7. Equip or sell the pet: Equip the pet to your active slots to begin producing passive cash per second, or sell unwanted pets at the shop for extra money.

  • Robux Game Passes: The official game store offers permanent upgrades including Extra Pet Slot 1 (99 Robux), Extra Pet Slot 2 (199 Robux), Extra Pet Slot 3 (399 Robux), 2x Speed (349 Robux), and +50 Backpack space (149 Robux).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can I not catch certain eggs?

Higher-tier eggs, such as Epics and Legendaries, run much faster than starter eggs. Game footage confirms that Epics require a minimum speed of around 2,000 before you can catch them. Certain biomes like the desert also require upgrading your capture net (such as the Strong Net) before you can claim eggs there.

How do I increase speed to catch faster eggs?

You can gain speed by running on the base treadmill, buying trail upgrades using cash, claiming milestone index rewards, or equipping speed boosts.

Can other players steal eggs?

In standard play, players often compete to grab wild eggs when they spawn, and large eggs can be picked up or contested during server events. However, once an egg is safely placed into your base pen, other players cannot take it from your pen slots.

What should I do with weak hatched pets?

Unwanted or duplicate pets can be unequipped and sold directly at the shop using the Sell All or individual sell options to recover cash for base and tool upgrades.
