Toys and Games Reviews of Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Planet Frog
Customer Review: Don't waste your money on this.
Summary: 1 Stars
Sounded like a really cute, educational project. So I went for it. The flimsy plastic container was delivered with a coupon to send to Uncle Milton for the tadpoles/frogs. I mailed in my check. The check was received and cashed. I received a postcard advising that the weather was too hot to send the live animals. Two weeks later I received a card saying that it was too cold to send the live animals. I think this might be a scam and I'm sending both cards AND my cancelled check to the Better Business Bureau in California. The plastic container would have been more sturdy if they had built it out of 2 liter coke bottles. A really good idea done so badly. Very disappointed and want my money back.Customer Review: tadpole
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this item for my four year old. It was relatively inexpensive and seemed like a good idea to teach her about living organisms. The habitat is nice, and relatively well built. I had read many of the reviews online, so I decided to just get a tadpole at the pet store. It never ate the food I bought for it, so it died. I also think when you choose to have a pet that lives and depends on water, you have to be very diligent. The water started to smell, so I changed it. I was very careful and the tadpole survived for a couple days after, but I could not imagine having to do that for months. I have a betta fish (over 2 years now), that I have no problems with, but I am told they are very hearty.Customer Review: bad for frogs great for snails...
Summary: 5 Stars
While it is not a good idea to order the frogs, it is nice to collect local snails from your area. They are fun to keep, and you can watch them breed. Few have experienced snails hatch. just make sure that you don't overflow the cage with water or they will drown. keep it wet,humid, and you can just feed them wild greens from your backyard!!! just remember not to put your hand in the cage when they are sticking white tubes into eachother's sides!!! CAREFUL WHEN SHELLS START TO BREAK! IF THE SHELLS BREAK THEY DIE!!! However they are the easiest pet next to a goldfish. But they are cheaper than one! you don't need this for a snail, you can use anything! Use a lid! But this product looks nice!!!Customer Review: Sad (4 frogs died)
Summary: 1 Stars
My son was excited about raising frogs. He purchased this at the toy store with money he had saved up. We recieved the frogs and did just as the directions said but both frogs died before the day was over. We waited another 4 weeks or so only to have two more frogs arrive half dead again. They too died before the day was out. We followed the directions to a t. The trip here was just too much for them. I refused to do it a third time depite this company's willingness to send out more frogs. It just broke our hearts to see the lethargic frogs arrive in the mail. What a life. I don't recomend this on pricipal alone! This company does not care about these frogs at all. Sad.Customer Review: Flimsy
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this from another site for my 6 year old son. He was so excited about it, but I was less than thrilled when it arrived and I saw how cheap the habitat was. My son also hated the long wait (about 4 months!) for his tadpole (not the company's fault I guess.. they wait to ship until the weather is tadpole-friendly).
We've had him for about 2 months now, and he still looks the same as the day we got him. After reading reviews here it sounds like it can take 6 months before we see an froggy-ness on him.
I'm frankly tired of cleaning the tiny flimsy habitat, and I'm contemplating converting my son's old fish tank into a frog tank instead.
