Toys and Games Reviews of Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Planet FrogCustomer Review: 3 dead frogs later... Summary: 1 Stars
This seemed like a terrific idea and I bought it for my daughter. We sent the money in for two frogs. When they arrived, one was well-past dead and the other died that night. We got one replaced which is now belly up in the tank.My daughter was so excited about this project. We had raised tadpoles two years ago without any problems. She is going to be so upset when she finds out that the third tadpole didn't live. The tank itself is made of cheap plastic and it gets so hot inside the tank, the plastic fogs up. Needless to say, it's going in the trash. I'll get another glass aquarium and raise tadpoles as I have done in the past, without the loss of froggie life.
Customer Review: Well, It looks nice. Summary: 2 Stars
I recieved this as a gift for Christmas. I was very excited. It looked like the best habitat ever. When I opened it to prepare it I found that it was very flimsy.The top was just a plastic box fitting top and can be easily knoked off. That's exactly what happened too. My cat (who has no claws) just lifted the top off and proceded to chase my amphibians around. I'm not sure if the habitat was big enough for my frog either. He always seemed crowded and usually spent his time pawing at the walls. I'm not ungrateful to have had the chance to watch my frog's metamorphosis. But, I did change his cage to a sturdier and roomier one soon after my frogs encounter with Beast.
Customer Review: Neat Idea - Cheap Toy - Dead Tadpole Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my daughter and I was very disappointed. The habitat is very flimsy think plastic and although we followed the directions exactly as they were printed the tadpole died. I have a friend that bought one and the same thing happened. I called the company and they said they would send us a new tadpole, that was 6 months ago. The last I heard they had problems with the tadpoles they were breeding and they were sending us one in September. It's now October, so buyer beware on this item. I have another friend who looked up how to make a habitat and she bought a tadpole for about $1 at a pet store, I would suggest that route over this one.
Customer Review: Gret learning toy but have patience - it is nature! Summary: 4 Stars
My son received this product for his birthday and loves his tadpole now frog. We had ordered two and one died about a month after we got it but the second one lived and is now a frog. It takes a while to become to fully become frogs (about 8-9 months) but hey, we don't create babies overnight either! The transoformation begins around month 6 though adn is so cool!!
It truly is amazing to see the transformation from tadpole to frog and my kids love it!
I recommend this kit and if they die - go buy another for a couple bucks! Trust me - they are easier to replace than a hamster which kids can tell the difference!
Customer Review: Both tadpoles DEAD and NEVER turned in to FROGS!! SO disappointing!!!! Summary: 1 Stars
Wow, what a terrible terrible product! The wait to receive the frogs wasn't too bad - about 10 weeks, but we had them for three months and NOTHING happened! Changed the water & fed as directed but they stayed tadpoles. Then one started swimming upside down and doing twirlies so we figured he was probably a goner. He died two days later. Our other tadpole survived about one more week and died after doing the crazy twirlies too. My daughter is REALLY disappointed and we do not recommend this to anyone!
As someone else stated, if I could give it 0 stars, I would!
I guess we are off to buy some fish......
