Mail Order Frogs! We're talking a major improvement on bills, catalogs, and credit card offers on the porch floor.
We're talking an actual transparent tadpole in the mailbox, ready to grow up in your home, like a puppy but without the chewed furniture.
We'll send you the kit, with a 4-1/2" square x 3-1/2" tall acrylic box with a vented lid, spoon, 2-oz bag of food, 1-1/2-oz bag of sand, 48pp instruction booklet, and a little plastic plant for verisimilitude.
You mail the enclosed postcard and the Grow-A-Frog people send you a gen-yoo-ine, actual live tadpole or froglet (depending upon the season) with see-through skin so you can watch its little inner organs grow. Much better than television.

User Comments about the GROW-A-FROG

Please do research the African Clawed Frog on google. They will only grow according to the tank size. Thats about it, these frogs are very low maintenance once you get the hang of it. Thats right if at anytime you have problems just email or call them. It's all well worth it. They do love company of other frogs of their own kind (african clawed frog). I have 3 of these frogs in a 10 gallon glass tank, bare bottom too. So it makes sense that the small cube included in this kit should only be for tadpole raising, and newborn froglets.

The kit sold on this item page is a small "nursery" cube I like to call it, compared to what you'll need eventually. At night, I often find all three frogs I have laying around each other, so don't be afraid to get two frogs. My frogs are HUGE now, so be warned they do grow extremely fast. I've had Grow-A-Frog for about 4 months now. I feed them HBH tadpole and frog tablets since they were born and they look very healthy and show rapid growth. Their customer service is friendly and understanding.

Also feed them some Freezed Dried bloodworms as a treat. When you think nursery you think infant baby right. 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. These frogs will need the space to swim and would just be more entertaining for your family. After the froglets are born however, in a couple weeks or less I would get at least a gallon tank per frog you have.

They will be buddies for life =)Oh, did anyone mention the Grow-A-Frog lifetime gaurantee. If you leave them in this small cube too long I'm afraid it's putting fatality at a higher risk. Hello. Just use a turkey baster to suck up frog waste, and they do waste alot. I don't have any gravel or substrate for easier cleaning.

They love it.

Just have to make sure water has had time for dechlorination crystals to work and equilibrate to room temperature. He has lived in two states and vacationed in a couple more. (Even been in MacDonalds so he wouldn't boil in the car). 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. Transported him when we moved in 1989 in glass cranberry juice large bottle (wide spout) in a foam-lined bucket, air holes in lid.

Skin not transparent when a frog. Fun to watch metamorphose. We first got our Grow-A-Frog in September 1988. Think I read on the Internet of one that was 21. I found changing water/ cleaning tank not very time consuming at all. I don't think Sneaky is the oldest Grow-A-Frog ever.

In no instance should you ever let your frogs 'go' into a pond or lake. Every now and then, however, a situation arises in which a Growafrog care-giver can no longer take care of their frog. 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:WE WILL WELCOME YOUR FROG BACK HOMEWe know you love your Growafrog. This is an excellent learning kit. Never release any kind of animal into the natural environment near your home ( unless it came from there in the first place ). If this should ever happen to you, please simply E-mail us so we may send you 'breathable bags' with instructions on how to send your frogs home to us. To request your breathable bags at no charge at all, please simply E-mail us your complete name, address, city, state, and zipcode here.http://www.growafrog.com/quesfrog.html#Anchor-2765

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

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