Great Experience!

This grow a frog kit is wonderful. We received a see thru tadpole that changed into a frog in no time. The frogs are easy enough for my eight and nine year old to take care of, even though I do clean the habitat. I would highly recommend this kit.

Excellent nursery kit but needs bigger habitat

Hello! I've had Grow-A-Frog for about 4 months now. My frogs are HUGE now, so be warned they do grow extremely fast! Also an important note is this Grow-A-Frog tadpole is the African Clawed Frog, which is NOT the same as the African Dwarf Frog which is commonly sold in pet stores. The kit sold on this item page is a small "nursery" cube I like to call it, compared to what you'll need eventually. When you think nursery you think infant baby right? So it makes sense that the small cube included in this kit should only be for tadpole raising, and newborn froglets.

After the froglets are born however, in a couple weeks or less I would get at least a gallon tank per frog you have. These frogs will need the space to swim and would just be more entertaining for your family. They will only grow according to the tank size. If you leave them in this small cube too long I'm afraid it's putting fatality at a higher risk.

I have 3 of these frogs in a 10 gallon glass tank, bare bottom too. They do love company of other frogs of their own kind (african clawed frog). I don't have any gravel or substrate for easier cleaning. Just use a turkey baster to suck up frog waste, and they do waste alot! At night, I often find all three frogs I have laying around each other, so don't be afraid to get two frogs. They will be buddies for life =)

Oh, did anyone mention the Grow-A-Frog lifetime gaurantee? Thats right if at anytime you have problems just email or call them. Their customer service is friendly and understanding.

I feed them HBH tadpole and frog tablets since they were born and they look very healthy and show rapid growth. Also feed them some Freezed Dried bloodworms as a treat. They love it! Thats about it, these frogs are very low maintenance once you get the hang of it. Please do research the African Clawed Frog on google. It's all well worth it.

This is an excellent learning kit. For those who are concerned about the frog's longevity, and the idea that some irresponsible frog parents may let them go, or worse, let them die, the company offers to take in any unwanted frogs:

Educationally fun!

Shockingly small, but when our tadpole arrived we knew why the container was so small. As the tadpole turned into a frog we put him in an aquarium, all the while in a classroom setting. He is still thriving, growing big and fun to play with. Very easy to care for and he has been a great pet for the classroom.

Sneaky, the Grow-A-Frog, now 19.5 years old!!

We first got our Grow-A-Frog in September 1988. He has lived in two states and vacationed in a couple more. Transported him when we moved in 1989 in glass cranberry juice large bottle (wide spout) in a foam-lined bucket, air holes in lid. (Even been in MacDonalds so he wouldn't boil in the car). Fun to watch metamorphose. Skin not transparent when a frog. I found changing water/ cleaning tank not very time consuming at all. Just have to make sure water has had time for dechlorination crystals to work and equilibrate to room temperature. He now lives in a plastic tank made for hermit crabs since Grow-A-Frog Stage 2 tank too small. Easy to order more adult frog food. I don't think Sneaky is the oldest Grow-A-Frog ever. Think I read on the Internet of one that was 21.

The Grow-A-Frog kit comes with a 4.50" square x 3.50" tall acrylic box with a vented lid, spoon, 2 ounce bag of food, 1.50 ounce bag of sand, 48 pages instruction booklet, and a little plastic plant for verisimilitude. It comes with actual live tadpole or frog let, which depends upon the season with see-through skin so you can watch its little inner organs grow. It is much better than television.
