Build a Zoo FAQs

How to get Meteor Heaven in Build a Zoo

Meteor Heaven is a very rare item that you can only get through the Season Pass spin with a 1% chance. Click on Season Pass and go to Ticket to perform a spin. You’ll need Lucky Tickets to spin the Season Pass wheel. Once you have the Meteor Heaven, activate it to spawn Jurassic Eggs on your conveyor belt.

Can mutations stack on my Big Pet and Big Fish?

No, mutations can not stack on your Big Pet and Big Fish in Build a Zoo. If your Big Pet or Big Fish already has a mutation, feeding another fruit will replace the current mutation. Once your Big Pet or Big Fish has the Jurassic Mutation, it’s best to avoid feeding them mutation-inducing foods.

How to get food for Big Pet and Big Fish in Build a Zoo

Food can be bought using cash from the Fruit shop located at the end of the ramp in the middle of the map, opposite the Sell Animals shop. Feed your Big Pet and Big Fish to increase their earning, gain mutations, and unlock new Big Pets and Big Fish.
