Keep him with the goldfish, he's harmless and never leaves the water. A gift that brings joy for years. Ages 4 years and above. Not for children under 3 years: small parts: choking hazard. Made in USA
Watching a creature grow from birth to maturity is a special science lesson that most urban children seldom experience. The process of metamorphosis is especially fascinating. The Grow A Frog kit comes with a see-through 3.5-by-4.5-inch plastic aquarium, a small bag of tadpole food and another of nutri-rocks, a piece of fake seaweed, and a detailed handbook with directions. Send in the mail-ready card and within a few weeks your child will receive a special tadpole grown in a Florida lab. (Many guarantees are put forth in the directions about the safe, humane mailing process.) The translucent skin of the tadpoles allows children to see the inner organs. Adult frogs have an average lifespan of five years but the record is 15 years. These special frogs live full-time in fresh water. Fresh spring water is required in the tadpole stage. --Lair Showalter, mother and elementary school teacher

Illegal or requires permits in most states to own these!!!:
We've been enjoying our 2 frogs for 4 years now. However, the company doesn't tell you everything you need to know.
- Notice nowhere do they mention the breed. These are African Clawed Frogs. In some states they are illegal to own. You may be required to destroy the frogs or have to pay annual permits to own them. If they are set loose, they become an invasive species which will out-eat the local species and wreak havoc on your local environment. It's very irresponsible for them to ship to 50 states... more info
NOT a TOY!:
I have had aquatic pets for many years and unless you consider you cat, dog or fish toys, these are not TOYS! They will quickly grow into frogs and need all of the care any aquarium pets need. For the dwarf variety a minimum 5 gallon tank. For regular frogs minimum 10 gallon. Filter, weekly water changes, daily feeding etc. For more info before purchasing these frogs please go to the website for Froggy Friends. I am a moderator for the group and we continually are receiving "help" messages from people who... more info
Good product, until it turns into a frog.:
This kit is great seeing a tadpole turn into an african clawed frog, but once it does become a frog be prepared to eventually house it in a 20 gallon aquarium! They live in water their whole lives, and need a gentle filter in the tank as they produce a lot of waste. Once they start growing these frogs eat a lot and grow fast. They will eat live and frozen foods, like earthworms and small fish when they are adults, but as young frog love bloodworms and blackworms. They WILL eat another frog if it's small... more info
Bad Product:
I got this last year because i wanted some frogs. Later that day i ordered the tadpoles... never got them. I contacted the people at the company and they said they got my order and it would arrive in a week. I waited and waited and it never came. I decided that it was just 15 bucks and i really wanted some frogs so i ordered the tadpoles again, and i went through the same process and i never got the second set of tadpoles. The problem is not that i have waited to long because this was about 8 months ago so... more info
