Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Planet Frog Review
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.

Both tadpoles DEAD and NEVER turned in to FROGS!! SO disappointing!!!! - G. Fasching - Oregon
Wow, what a terrible terrible product! The wait to receive the frogs wasn't too bad - about 10 weeks, but we had them for three months and NOTHING happened! Changed the water & fed as directed but they stayed tadpoles. Then one started swimming upside down and doing twirlies so we figured he was probably a goner. He died two days later. Our other tadpole survived about one more week and died after doing the crazy twirlies too. My daughter is REALLY disappointed and we do not recommend this to anyone!
As someone else stated, if I could give it 0 stars, I would!
I guess we are off to buy some fish......
Tadpole/Frog - KC - New London PA
I purchased this product in the store to use in my classroom. When I opened the box, I was disappointed in how flimsy the habitat was. The plastic is very thin and it doesn't weigh much, so while it is easily moved, it can also be easily knocked over. Each time we cleaned the habitat we were worried about it falling apart. The tadpoles that came lasted 1 month and then died. In that time barely any change happened. We replaced them with tadpoles from a pond and they developed much quicker. If you do buy this habitat, I would definitely get your own tadpoles from somewhere else. The company is VERY hard to get in touch with and when I finally did, they weren't very friendly or helpful. I would not purchase this item again.
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...
