Toys and Games Reviews of Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Planet Frog
Customer Review: Do Your Research
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read many of the previous reviews and simply want to mention that as with any new addition to the family, one should take the time to do his/her research. For example, when one decides on buying a cat or dog, there is often some reading and research involved, right? What do they eat? How often do we feed them? Does this particular breed require constant exercise and attention? The same should hold true for when one decides to buy something such as an educational habitat.
We, as a family, read up on the frog lifecycle before deciding to purchase this habitat. We thought about creating our own habitat from scratch but in the long run, decided this one would be ideal for our younger children and our busy schedules. It was! It provided just about everything we needed.
Some have whined about having to order the tadpoles. Are you kidding? The package clearly states that there is an enclosed coupon for the tadpoles and all you have to pay for is shipping which I felt was fair. It makes sense to me - what if you get your habitat in the dead of winter? Do you really want to have tadpoles sent then? What if you don't find the time to start your habitat? Isn't it nice to have the option of when to order them? We thought so.
Additionally, if one does any research, one would find that tadpoles can stay tadpoles for months! They can almost go into a growth stunt or hibernation stage (though not truly hibernation) in which they will not fully develop until the weather turns warmer. This makes sense too! Why would they fully develop into frogs in the dead of winter? Ever see frogs hopping around when it is below 40 degrees outside? I haven't. They have an internal clock so whether they are inside or not, their bodies know when to kick in with the development.
We loved this item and would recommend it for a first timer and someone not intending to keep the frogs as pets. We released our's after they had grown. The habitat isn't intended to house frogs - it is intended to be a place to watch the development of tadpoles into frogs, therefore, it isn't all that sturdy but it serves its purpose. (...) what are these people expecting?
In closing, I would like to say once again, those who wish to bring animals into your home, have a responsiblity to do their research. Everyone will benefit from it in the end.
