Tadpole to Frog Starter Kit - Includes Certificate for 2 Live Tadpoles - All-in-One Bundle with Habitat, Food, Instructions, and Book - Ideal for Education and Home Observation

Wonderful kit!What I would say to people looking to buy this product is one you are getting a leopard frog in the end - that unlike caterpillars and butterflies you cannot release and will depend on you through its delicate transformation from tadpole to frog.Pay special attention to the water.Our first tadpoles didn’t survive (one was dead on arrival and the other died 3 days later) and it could have been the toxic water from the first tadpole poisoned it or it could have been me not understanding the care needs.. they sent more tadpoles and I got to try again. I’m so so glad be because we now have one happy and thriving leaped frog!!!! My kids and I are WONDERSTRUCKMy take:Understand what you’re getting into:High maintenance experience- specific water treatment- cleaning weekly- adult supervision requiredLong term commitment- the tadpoles only transition with very specific conditions so could remain in the water for weeks or even months ours were about 7 weeks old before one transitioned.- during the Froglet stage (transition from tadpole to frog) they NEED a way to get out of the water so you could put something stable like a rock or stick or something for them to crawl on out of the water- be ready within 5 days to feed them new solid food (think - flightless fruit flies, maggots, tiniest crickets imaginable anything smaller than its tiny little frog head will work) (their tail slowly shrinks when they get out of the water and is actually a source of nutrition for them as they are on land (think of the yolk of a chickens egg)Recommendations:- I would do your research on Leopard Frogs to know if you want to be a care giver for one beyond the transformation process because they want survive without you. I had to do some digging to see what type of frog we have…- recommend getting something you can store treated water in to sit with the dechlorination drops so it’s ready on the go (takes 2 hours to treat 1/2 a gallon of water so while in the tadpole stage you’ll go through a lot- I also got a master type water filter you may also want one just make sure the tads can’t get sucked inside the filter!- do NOT overfeed it can contaminate the water and kill the tads as we learned the hard way :(- over all though we LOVED this experience and 💯 would Recommend!

I had three kids excited to watch the tadpoles grow into frogs.However, both tadpoles died. A HUGE disappointment.We followed the instructions and everything with the setup and water conditioner.For anyone who decides to try this, I would recommend putting the tadpoles in a regular fish tank that has a filter and/or an air bubbler.I think the tank habitat included is too small and I think they really need a filter.If you use a bigger tank with a filter, they may do better.

Cute little tadpole starter kit that I bought for my daughter who looooves frogs. She is so excited to use it. Only disappointing thing is that it says online that the tadpoles come with the tank, however when the tank came, there was a paper with a code that said to mail it in to receive the tadpoles and they should arrive within 2 weeks. Had I known that I would have ordered them 2 weeks ago. Other than that it is a cute little starter tank.

Update! 9/8/25First week having my tadpoles, they are doing wonderful! When I received them they were very very small like a crum so I was thinking that they hatched the day they got sent to me. I am very glad they are getting HUGE and growing properly! One tip for the water, I take the dirty water out and replace it with new treated water every other day! Also make sure to spot clean all the food and poop DAILEY (I spot clean in the morning and before I go to bed) !! I bought a turkey baster from the dollar store to suck up all the poop and extra food and it works perfect I 100% recommend if you haven’t tried it. Food wise I do follow the instructions a little but, I break a full piece of food in half and put one half on one side and the other half on the opposite side. When it’s the day of cleaning and replacing the new water I put in a pinch of boiled baby spinach so they can meet all of their food needs. once and a while I also put in a tiny piece of an algae wafer to switch it up. (That’s a lot of food information but make sure to NOT over feed, I only feed in the morning and before bed.) I’ll give more updates as time goes on :)Update 9/22/25: Both tadpoles are still alive and perfectly healthy. Both of them are growing back legs!!! So exciting!!

So much fun to watch these little guys grow. My kids absolutely love it!

Tadpoles died the week we received them even after following the instructions to the letter.Instructions were inaccurate! Instructions said to use tap water, then they wrote back saying to use spring water.After tadpoles died, my 3-year-old is heartbroken!Now we have a cheap plastic container with dead tadpoles.Then when trying to obtain more they refused, would not recommend!

Got these for my son for Easter.They have been growing really well. I mainly followed the directions although I did change their water every two days or so.Once your tadpoles grow both sets of legs, if you keep them in the container you receive with the kit I recommend putting something heavy on the lid so they don’t escape.We are set to receive a terrarium in the next few days for them and can’t wait to continue watching them grow.(You should not release them outside for anyone wondering, they are supposed to be tree frogs)
