Description

Now you can watch as your very own frog grows from a tadpole into a frog. The adventure begins when you receive your live tadpole by mail. First you'll experience the wonder of metamorphosis as your tadpole transforms into a frog. Then watch your frog kick back on the beach, hang out in the surf shop, and ride the wave on its own "floating" surfboard. Developed under the guidance of amphibian experts, the Surf Frogs habitat provides a safe and healthy environment for up to two frogs. Your Surf Frog Live Frog Habitat features Surf Frogs Beach for a tropical setting with places to hang out, Croaky's Surf Shop for a peaceful frog hideaway, removable water tray with giant wave, "floating" surfboard, viewing dome with hinged feeding hatch and air vents. The habitat also includes tadpole food pellets that contain all the vitamins, minerals and protein tadpoles need, Illustrated Croaky's Surf Frogs Manual for information and fun, and a Tadpole Coupon that you mail in for one or two tadpoles that are mailed directly to your home. The Surf Frogs Live Frog Habitat measures approximately 16.5 inches long.

What about Sea-monkeys sold in the back of almost every comic book years ago? Seems to me that Sea-monkeys and ant farms would beat these in the time line of selling live organisms.

Not trying to thread crap, but I think keeping a frog in a tiny "habitat" such as that is evil. Stores should be banned from selling live animals targeted towards youngsters. I have some pretty bitter memories of neighborhood kids abusing animals back in the day (like pouring gallons of bleach into small ponds just to kill everything in it).

Well, my (at the time) 4 year-old got a "frog kit" (from a different outfit) as a birthday present. May or may not have been the same sort of frog. Because of the weather (they won't ship tadpoles if it is very warm) they shipped a "froglet". I expected it to live 2 days. "Jeffrey" (the 4 year-old named the frog after himself) lived for about 4 years, and the info that came with the kit indicated they can live up to 10.

However, I'm less sure, given your caveat "in this habitat". The kit we got had a much smaller than 16" frog house, and JtF migrated over time to a goldfish bowl, then a 3 gallon aquarium, to finally a 10 gallon aquarium (with filter!). Between the habitat changes, filter cartridges, and "frog and salamander chow", the gift ended up being fairly expensive:).

It looks like kbtoys.com changed the discount to 20%, making this $5 more expensive. Gain another 2% with ebates. :)

Why spend $$$ on some tadpole??? Dig a small pool in your backyard and wait, you will have plenty of them.

we had one of these very similar. it lived 13 years. 13 FREAKING YEARS. It had a straight view of the TV. And it just sat there, watching TV, for 13 god-awful years. what's that in frog years? like 1500? claude the frog, that was his name.

don't buy this. he'll live 2 days and you'll be sad, or he'll live for 15 years and you'll be debating the ethics of euthanasia.

LOL, stay away...this is like the $0.25 turtles my brother bought on the street, he bought 2, one died after a while because of the death trap of a thing that was being used to keep them(ironically an upgrade from a previously worse deathtrap-apparently it was long ago banned from being sold in pet shops...odd that my brother bought the stupid thing IN A PET SHOP!!!). Of course, selling these turtles if they're under 4" is apparently illegal, but that doesn't stop people from doing it.

So, after the first turtle died off and the second one had the bigger island style death trap all to itself, I got pretty pissed off(since I had tried my best to save the other turtle) and spent an entire night cleaning and fixing up an old fish tank(about 30 gallons) to let the turtle live in. I got him a water heater, and dug out all the old icky pebbles and scrubbed and scrubbed and got water and tested the temp and other fun stuff. Even got it a nice light so it could get those useful UV rays that it needs for shell growth. Of course, my stupid cat later knocked this off(this was my brother's stupid fault for not listening when I told him the stupid cat would knock it off...ugh...I don't live at home most of the time mind you, I just happened to be there since it was summer) so now it has no light but there's sunlight from the window which it is near so it's not too bad. Of course, I wanted to use a water filter but of course, my mother had tossed that years ago because it smelled(lol). So now we have to go buy a new filter(my brother has been changing the water with a siphon haha...originally it took a LOOONG time without that siphon!) so it's still ok, but the food bills are picking up now, plus that new light isn't going to be cheap =P

So before you ever get yourself into a mess as such, keep in mind a living organism requires money and time! Plus turtles live even longer than friggin frogs =P

What was it like to live next to Jeffrey Daymer? :)

Kids like that should get their ass kicked!
