I highly recommend this product for anyone who is commited to full follow-through for years of care for this pet. We found that he could survive quite nicely on Newt and Salamander bites sold at Petsmart or other pet stores and stop buying supplies from Grow-A-Frog many years ago. Froggie's life stages, his nighttime peeping and chirping, moving him from a little plastic container to a 10 gallon tank, taking him with us as we have moved from a smaller home to a bigger one. One reviewer said 30 years and that is possible but is extremely rare. My son is now 23 and Mr.
Be careful though and do not release your frog into the wild if you do not want it, this is considered a nuisiance species and is being blamed for the crash of some delicate ecosystems and the worldwide decline of the frog population since its removal from Africa and use in extensive research.As in all pet ownership, this is a life, like any other, responsibility is key to success and happiness for all of those involved in its life and care. We added some non-agressive fish to his life for his company with much success. Froggie just passed away this Christmas day. My son bought a Grow-A-Frog kit when he was 12 with a $20 bill a friend of mine gave him for his birthday. As a family we have enjoyed watching Mr.
In spite of what the company that sells these frogs sa about the frog being delicate, this is actually a very hardy species and it does live a very long time, 10 to 15 years is average.
The kids are very interested in the everyday life of our frog. This is pretty cool. We are learning a lot about life and responsibility.
I ordered this overnight and it came with a certificate for a froglet. I thought I bought a tadpole.
very shady in my opinion. Instead, they put ALL the blame on Amazon.
Then when I wrote a bad review the company asked me to reconsider my review, but never once offered me any refund. You will NOT recieve your tadpole on the first shipping, and the certificate they send says they are going to send a froglet,not a tadpole.
Don't waste your money. A Froglet.
Like I said, since the company does not say this I will.
Do some research before hand. Each week I have to change the entire tank,scrub and clean it,replace the water with fresh spring water,and a clean filter. Next week I need to purchase a new tank as they need room to grow often. They are a very cool pet,and lots of fun to watch. There is quite a bit of work and money involved for sure,but they can be a really fun,interesting pet to have. They do take up some time.
All in all I am pleased with my purchase,but caution others to be prepared. My mom purchased a grow a frog for my son for his 7th birthday about 3.5 years ago,since then we have added a second frog. They are also a life time commitment. I LOVE my frogs,but had no idea they would be this much work.
It's been far more frustration than it's worth. The frogs are $8.95 each with a $3.95 shipping fee, and they will replace the frog for a $3.95 fee. This product is a waste. I ordered 3 of these. The tank is great, it includes everything you need to grow a frog, however, when you order the frog (which is sold separately at an additional cost) the shipping is ridiculous, and to date, we've received 3 DOA frogs, and 2 that have lasted only 2 days. Imagine the look on my son's face when we received 3 dead frogs in the mail.I haven't used my last lifetime guarentee, and I won't.
