DESCRIPTION
Observe tadpole-to-frog metamorphosis up close with this deluxe frog hatchery kit! Learn about the lifecycle of a frog as you first watch tiny live embryos develop into tadpoles and then the tadpoles grow legs, lose their tails, and develop into full-grown frogs.
This frog hatchery has an ideal habitat with a large, clear plastic tank that has a removable ventilated cover. Once the tadpoles grow up, it's large enough to keep adult frogs in. Everything is included:
- special food for feeding your tadpoles
- magnifier to look up-close
- instructions for raising and caring for your frogs
- a fully pre-paid coupon for 6-10 live frog embryos (redeemable in the continental US, excluding Utah, Alaska, and Hawaii).
You may get either African water frog or leopard frog embryos when you redeem your coupon, depending on where you live and the time of year. (See details below.) African clawed frogs (species Xenopus laevis) live their life entirely in water. Their tadpoles have both gills and lungs so they can breathe in water or at the surface. Leopard frogs (species Rana pipiens) live entirely in water before maturing and live both in water and on land as adults. Their tadpoles have only gills to breathe in water. Adults of both species have only lungs and must come to the surface to breathe.
Development time: Metamorphosis from tadpole to young frog can take 6-12 weeks. Factors such as live tadpole age upon arrival and water temperature, food, and other habitat conditions can affect their growth rate.
Guarantee: Nasco, the biological supplier of the frog embryos, guarantees that at least one tadpole will be alive and in good condition when it arrives. Due to conditions beyond our control, we cannot guarantee the life of the embryos or that they will grow into mature frogs.
