Toys and Games Reviews of Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Planet Frog
Customer Review: What a joke...
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought the habitat in March, ordered 2 tadpoles in April, waited months for them to arrive. One died within a few days and they sent us a new one. Waited, waited, waited, waited. Followed directions EXACTLY. About 3 months later, the other original one died. Another 2 months, the replacement died. Now we are 6 months out, never having seen a frog. Uncle Milton has taken their phone number off their website. I sent an e-mail to them and received an automatic reply saying someone would contact me within 2-3 days. A week later I sent it again. A month later I sent another e-mail, now the autoresponse says 5-7 day. I'm still waiting and my child very disappointed. Do NOT buy this product. Waste of money and lots of time.Customer Review: Tadpole/Frog
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product in the store to use in my classroom. When I opened the box, I was disappointed in how flimsy the habitat was. The plastic is very thin and it doesn't weigh much, so while it is easily moved, it can also be easily knocked over. Each time we cleaned the habitat we were worried about it falling apart. The tadpoles that came lasted 1 month and then died. In that time barely any change happened. We replaced them with tadpoles from a pond and they developed much quicker. If you do buy this habitat, I would definitely get your own tadpoles from somewhere else. The company is VERY hard to get in touch with and when I finally did, they weren't very friendly or helpful. I would not purchase this item again.Customer Review: They won't change into frogs
Summary: 3 Stars
I got my planet frog for a birthday gift in December in the mid west. I received my tadpoles on the 8th of January and they still have not changed into frogs. They are still alive and look exactly the same from when I got them. The tank is very easy to change the water in, they are easy to take care of, but they won't change into frogs. I would be really dissapointed if I was a child but we all laugh about it here at work, how I got 2 dudds. The book says that it takes about 6 weeks for them to change and I am going on 9 months really soon. I have thought about putting them in with my turtles but I think they would be an appitizer for them :) I wouldn't suggest this for a child....they would be really dissapointed....Customer Review: Terrible Product!

First of all...do not purchase this as a gift for someone (as it was purchased for us) - even though it says you get a "free" tadpole - you still have to pay $8 or so shipping. So with the purchase of a couple tadpoles, this turns into $45 junk instead of $25 junk. I went ahead and ordered...after 6 months of not receiving them I called. They claim they mailed it to the wrong address (I have good reason not to believe them). After getting the second batch, one was dead in 12 hours the other died a day later. Directions were followed explicitly and I have previous experience raising reptiles and fish. I was told I was getting a refund, let's see how long THAT takes...This was a very disappointing experience.Customer Review: Our tadpole isn't growing either

I ordered this for our 5 year old son for his birthday. We live in the suburbs of Chicago and since I sent in the form in January, I thought for sure they wouldn't send it until springtime at the earliest, due to the cold weather here. But, we got it by the end of January I'd say. I just ordered one and he's still alive, but not sprouting any legs or growing into a frog. He's a little bigger than when we got him, but definitely not becoming a frog anytime soon. I'm glad to see the other reviews here only to know that we're not alone. I liked the suggestions about feeding some other types of food to him, so I may try that and see what happens. Oh well, like someone else said, it's a good lesson in patience!
