Toys and Games Reviews of Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Planet Frog
Customer Review: Buy a real tank instead!
Summary: 2 Stars
We finally received our tadpoles in November! How fun it was to watch them swim in their new plastic (flimsy) home. Ack...I knew at some point I would have to buy them a real tank, but thought I'd see if they turned into frogs first. The months past and nothing happened...November, December, January, February, March, April and whoah now mid-May. We finally got a froglet! He was adorable with his new legs! He swam around like a kid just learning how to ride a bike! Ahh but his crappy home was the beginning of the end. He got his leg caught in the ledge and died a half hour later. :-( We still have 1 more tadpole we are waiting on here. I will be out today buying him a new home so he doesn't end up like his friend. VERY sad to watch happen. I'm sorry I didn't just buy a real tank from day 1.Customer Review: Cruel for humans and tadpoles alike
Summary: 1 Stars
My son got this as a birthday gift in October, 2002. We sent in the card with our payment to get two tadpoles. We fed them regularly and kept waiting for them to change. Sometime around February, one of the tadpoles died. So, we figured the other one would eat better and eventually change into a frog. Well, it is now the first day of summer (2003) and I found the second tadpole floating belly up. My son cried when each of these tadpoles died and he never got to see either one turn into a frog. This "toy" is horrible. It's cruel for the tadpoles to be stuck in that phase for so many months (perhaps a bigger habitat is needed for the metamorphosis to happen?) and it's cruel for the humans who have to care for them, watch them suffer and die. Don't buy this awful "product".Customer Review: It's a cheap Gimick....Don't bother!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a homeschool mom of 3 young children and almost never submit reviews but this time I had to. I purchased this for christmas and I have been very disapointed! The plastic is flimsy, it is not easy to clean or change water(which is required every couple days) and the surface is too slippery for the frogs to exit water area. I found using a plain old aquarium works soo much better! (about the same price for small size) Our original frogs never made it so I purchased fire belly toads to replace them from pet store. They survived in the Planet Frog Habitat but THRIVED in the standard aquarium (with "Forest Floor" avail at petshop and a disposable plastic bowl I can toss when they need fresher water to swim in.) Don't waste your money on this product...look for other options.Customer Review: So cute
Summary: 5 Stars
My son got this from my sister for Christmas. I promptly ordered the tadpoles. We live in Texas, they arrived sometime in February. In April we took it to my son's 5th grade science class to live, still tadpoles. Luckily I read some more and found out they might need more warmth. Either adding the lamp now and then or the windows at the school did the trick and we have one frog. Still one tadpole, but at least one morphed before school let out. I think as with any product its about a life, and it cannot be predicted, so overall I am very satisfied. However the 15-30 day wait promised to the children is not true. We feed the frog grasshoppers from the yard. I have a 10 and 9 year old they both do well taking care of them, I hardly have to do much besides look at them.Customer Review: AVOID Planet Frog; not secure
Summary: 1 Stars
Planet Frog looks nice, despite it being made of flimsy plastic, and it is easy to clean, but it is NOT secure. Our 1 inch wood frog escaped from it last night and he is nowhere to be found (and I don't expect to find him since we have a cat and dog)! The light lid loosely rests on the "aquarium", so if they become smart enough to nudge the top, they can escape through the crack! Probably best to buy one of Petco's hard plastic aquariums made for amphibians; they don't look as nice, but they only cost $10.
Plus, the customer service for the company is aweful since I can't reach anybody. Multiple times I've been placed on hold for 5 minutes only to have a recording tell me to email/fax my complaints!
