Patch history

The Levelup Lollipop does not affect the Chubby Chipmunk’s weight or the passive’s cooldown. Mimic Octopus cannot mimic the Chubby Chipmunk. Chubby Chipmunk's cooldown cannot be advanced by pets such as the peacock. Chubby Chipmunks are now tradable via trading tickets and gifting in the recent update. The Chubby Chipmunk comes in different colors. It can be red, brown, black, grey, and even unnatural colors of natural squirrels, such as green, purple, white and pink. It was once possible to claim more Chubby Chipmunks in v1947 if the player put it in the Mutation Machine and activated it, the player could claim a second Chubby Chipmunk and repeat the process with the new Chubby Chipmunk. This method is now patched as of v1951, although as of v1954, the Chubby Chipmunk still appears at the event island when mutating the Chubby Chipmunk, but players can't reclaim it. This is the only pet in the game that does not gain weight with age. When Chubby Chipmunk reaches 50kg, it will stop gaining weight through its ability. Although, there are some Chubby Chipmunks that have gone over the 50kgs cap, by either 0.01kgs - 0.03kgs. It will also stop gaining weight after the event ends.
