We finally figured out that you have to send away for the frog and got a tadpole in the mail about a week later. This is a tough little bugger, let me tell you. It has been knocked off of the dresser twice, by the cats and lost it's water both time. They can live up to two days without water, but not much longer. I have read that if taken care of the frog, it can live 8 to 30 years. I had no idea at the time of purchase, about the life span or I would have thought twice. But I have done some research and found that I can put the frog in our tank with the other fish when it is bigger. They may try to bite at the fish. They can eat bloodworms, brine shrimp or water fleas and pet stores carry this food. Good luck with your new pet. You will be spending a lifetime together! - Wednesday, June 06, 2007 Frog was enormous and lived for 13 years Reviewed By: H.W. (Plano, Tx) I got a Grow-A-Frog kit that looked exactly like this when I was in middle school. The tadpole was great, and a lot of fun! Just a warning, though... she got enormous and had to be moved to a 60 gallon tank. She also just wouldn't die. She lived for 13 years. Before you think of getting one of these for your kids, consider how you will feel if you've married off your kids and still have this silly frog. That's what happened to my parents! - Wednesday, June 10, 2009 sweet Reviewed By: Cam (lynnfield, massachusetts) i got one from school and its about 5 months old and i love it so much!See less »
