Adopt Me Birthday Butterfly is the headline addition in the Adopt Me 8th Birthday update on August 22, 2025. This guide covers exactly what the new pet is, how to get it, what changed in Gifts and Accessory Chests, the confirmed drop rates for 2025, and how the 2x Weekend event through August 25, 2025 helps you farm Bucks and age pets faster.
What is the Adopt Me Birthday Butterfly?
The Birthday Butterfly is a limited-time pet with Uncommon rarity priced at 1,500 Bucks. It is designed as a celebratory collectible for the 8th Birthday update and is positioned as a must-have for collectors. Because availability is time-limited, players who want to secure it should plan purchases during the event window rather than waiting until later in the season.
How to Get the Adopt Me Birthday Butterfly
You can obtain the Birthday Butterfly directly for 1,500 Bucks during the 8th Birthday update window. The event coincides with a 2x Weekend, making it the best moment to gather the Bucks you need. During this period, players earn 2x Bucks and benefit from faster Aging Speed, so reaching the 1,500 Bucks threshold and progressing pet levels is more efficient than usual. If you are aiming for multiple Birthday Butterflies for trades or future Neon projects, the 2x Weekend from August 22 to August 25, 2025 is the most practical time to do it.

As with Gifts, Regal Chests shift probability toward higher rarities compared to Standard Chests, giving you better odds at Ultra Rare and Legendary accessories if you can spend more Bucks per roll.
2x Weekend Event
From August 22 to August 25, 2025, Adopt Me runs a 2x Weekend event that grants 2x Bucks and increases Aging Speed. This window is the most efficient time to earn the 1,500 Bucks needed for the Uncommon Birthday Butterfly and to progress pet levels for your roster. If your goal is to collect the butterfly before it leaves the game and also make progress toward higher-tier pet evolutions, aligning your playtime with the 2x Weekend is the clear path.
Final Thoughts
Adopt Me Birthday Butterfly is a limited Uncommon pet priced at 1,500 Bucks, introduced in the 8th Birthday update on August 22, 2025. Use the 2x Weekend through August 25 to farm Bucks and speed up pet aging, then decide whether to allocate remaining currency to Gifts or Accessory Chests based on the 2025 drop rates above. At this time, there are no special codes tied to the 8th Birthday update, so plan your Bucks around the guaranteed purchase and the probability tables for extras.
