RarePetsAdopt Me!

Overview[1]

The Shrew (formerly known as the Elf Shrew) is a limited rare pet in Adopt Me! that was obtainable during the 2019 Christmas Event by purchasing it for 23,000 Gingerbread. It became unavailable along with all the other Christmas Event items on January 11, 2020, and is now only obtainable through trading. Before the Dress Your Pets Update, the Shrew used to be called the Elf Shrew and had an Elf Hat on its head. The hat was removed and placed in the owner's inventory after the update, allowing players to trade it separately as a pet accessory. Players who had a Neon Elf Shrew received four Elf Hats instead of one.
