Planet Frog Habitat Review
Like some others it took months for our tadpole to become a frog. The company was not very helpful when we called. Basically, the literature was quite misleading as to how long it takes for the transformation. We ran out of food before the change took place. Like others, we tried various environmental changes and believe that adding a little more indirect natural sunlight helped. I think the water temperature may have been a factor. However, it may merely have been a matter of time.
Froggie then lived for about a year after his transformation. My son was heartbroken when he died last week, so I am considering buying him another.
Planet Frog was not as durable as I had hoped, however, I don't think the inventors expected a soccer ball to go flying into the base and crush it. However, the main part with the water survived the impact.

Total Disappointment - Emily K. Wisnewski - Fishers, IN
First of all, we purchased this toy from a store that had a much higher price than Amazon, so that makes the experience more painful. Upon opening the habitat we discovered it is made of bendy, flimsy plastic, like the kind many toys come packaged in. Then, we ordered the tadpoles--another on top of the purchase price!!--7 weeks before my daughter's 6th birthday. 12 weeks later the tadpoles finally arrived. We live in the midwest and apparently it is nearly always too hot or too cold to ship tadpoles to us. Once they arrived, we were DILIGENT about following the directions. They seemed to make it clear these critters were specific in their needs and we had waited sooooo long...2 weeks later the first one died. 2 week after that, the 2nd one "croaked", and I wish I meant literally. NOTHING fun happened, no legs, and the water was almost always so cloudy from their food that you could barely see the tadpoles. This toy was such a bust. A complete waste of time and money, tho it seemed like it was going to be a really neat, educational experience.

I received my tadpoles in early April, 2009. They became frogs in July, 2009. This was quite a bit longer than advertised...After becoming frogs however, they required live food. i.e. crickets...This required a trip to Pet Co. However, crickets need their own ecosystyem to live...They all died. The frogs never touched them. I gave them pellets and blood worms...They did not eat that either...The frogs died...This made me sad...I do not recommend this item for children...Get the butterfly cage to teach children about metamorphosis. At least you can set them free...
So cute - Julie Schmidt - Llano, Texas
My son got this from my sister for Christmas. I promptly ordered the tadpoles. We live in Texas, they arrived sometime in February. In April we took it to my son's 5th grade science class to live, still tadpoles. Luckily I read some more and found out they might need more warmth. Either adding the lamp now and then or the windows at the school did the trick and we have one frog. Still one tadpole, but at least one morphed before school let out. I think as with any product its about a life, and it cannot be predicted, so overall I am very satisfied. However the 15-30 day wait promised to the children is not true. We feed the frog grasshoppers from the yard. I have a 10 and 9 year old they both do well taking care of them, I hardly have to do much besides look at them.
