So now they sell live frogs at Brookstone

Frog O Sphere

Saw this at the mall today, didn't seem quite right. Discuss.

why isnt it right? there is obviously an opening somewhere, it says you have to change the water and feed the frogs.

they're not getting my nakedfrog

I am curious why the snails all keep dying?

How is this any worse than any of the pets/fishes sold at any pet stores?

They created a perfect minimalistic ecosystem in the cube. The 'lucky bamboo' (actually a water lily) and snail keep the tank clean from the frogs' waste. Avoid sunlight and they all live up to 3-4 years. I was most surprised at the fact that you only have to change water twice a YEAR.. wtf. My beta fish needs water changed twice a WEEK and snails won't help as betas are extremely aggressive and will kill it.

Man, they even sell live frogs at my butcher.

Seems a bit small for two of those frogs and a snail.

The lid comes off, just doesn't seem right to be selling live animals at Brookstone.

Pet stores are probably not that much better, but I like to think they are better equipped for live animals.

The frogs are suppose to live 5-18 years "in the wild" but I don't know how long they could realistically live in that little environment.

Why?

Seems right to me, heck it even fits in a dorm-room sized microwave.

With the OPs comments I was expecting a tiny cube where the frog couldn't even move, but the picture on the page seems fine.....
