The information says the tadpoles should start becoming frogs in 4-6 weeks. It also said it was large enough for 2 frogs. However, 7 months later they were STILL tadpoles. I was VERY disappointed. I ended up buying an aquarium and added some really big rocks and things, and only then did they start to change. Northern leopard frogs are what you get, and if you google for information on them they are highly sensitive to their environment. Basically the frogplanet wasn't appropriate for them at all. Once in the aquarium, 4 weeks later, I now have 2 adorable froglets. I still have to change the aquarium to be 1/2 land and 1/2 water, and I think they will then be pretty happy frogs. Do not buy this product.  -  Sunday, December 14, 2008 Mr. Reviewed By: Lance (Etowah, North Carolina) Bad experience for us. First set of tadpoles were shipped just before a holiday weekend during cold weather. They were both dead. Second pair arrived fine but never changed. One Tadpole died after 8 weeks. The other died (still a tadpole) after about 10 months. Do not want to go through this again.  -  Thursday, January 08, 2009 Frogs Reviewed By: Sam (Sylvania, Ohio) Not the best. I waited a whole year and they never came then they cam november of 2008 and lived for about 5 months and then they both died in january in a matter of three days and they never morphed into frogs or anything like frogs they stayed tadpole and i was upset when they both died  -  Saturday, May 02, 2009 died Reviewed By: jackson (pleasonton, california) I had my frogs for three months one died and it 4 to 3 months fo a frog mine hasnt grown 1 step  -  Sunday, August 09, 2009 worked for us Reviewed By: Kitty (Omaha, NE) Our tadpoles both lived and after more than a month or so both eventually became frogs. We changed about 1/4-1/3 of the water daily, sucking up all the debris with a turkey baster and replacing with special filtered water (not tap water!) They require daily care. Then the frogs want live food, and they are very small so it is difficult to find meal worms or crickets small enough. Also, the smell is not pleasant and the frogs hide all the time. The habitat seems so small, and slick plastic - no way for the crickets to survive till eaten for instance - they fall in the water and drown very soon, and there just is no place for the frogs to go. Yet I don't really want to invest more in a larger habitat. Kind of a pain now, but my 9-yr-old enjoyed watching them change and likes having frogs, so we will try to keep them going. Then do need daily attention. With care, it should work.
