Q: How long before I get my Tadpole?
A: If your kit came with a certificate for a Tadpole, mail it or fax it to
us per the instructions. Allow 2 weeks for it to arrive.
Q: Can I order Tadpoles during the winter?
A: Yes! We ship Tadpoles year-round. Expect a shipping delay if it's
below freezing in your area.
Q: How many Tadpoles can I put in my
Habitat?
A: Only 2 Bullfrog size Tadpoles will fit in the Habitat.
Q: My Tadpole isn't moving. Is it dead?
A: Probably not, it can take up to a day before the Tadpole explores the
Habitat.
Q: How long does it take the Tadpole to
become a Frog?
A: 12 to 16 weeks.
Q: My Tadpoles were doing fine and then
next day they are dead. What happened?
A: This is usually a water problem. If you accidentally introduced hand
lotion or soap into the Habitat during a water change, or forgot to add the
water treatment to tap water, or overfed and have dirty water for too long
then it will harm your Tadpoles.
Q: Do I need a heater, filter or gravel in
my Habitat?
A: No ?room temperature water is best, filters may take away the Tadpole's
food and gravel makes water changes very
hard and isn't necessary.
Q: Can I put a new Tadpole in my Habitat
with a Frog?
A: No, the Frog may consider the Tadpole to be food.
Q: What if I run out of Tadpole food or
water conditioner?
A: Your local pet shop carries these Tadpoles like goldfish food and you
can use any water conditioner made for fish tanks that removes chlorine and
neutralizes metals.
Q: Do you give a Guarantee?
A: Yes. We guarantee your Tadpole will arrive alive. After it arrives we
can no longer guarantee it as most problems with Tadpoles come from improper
water care.
Q: Can I play with the Tadpole or Frog?
A: No. A Tadpole's skin
is fragile and is easily damaged if handled improperly. A Frog is delicate
and may escape or be injured during handling.
Q: What if I can no longer care for my
Frog?
A: Please do not release the Frog outside. Your Frog may not know how to
survive in the wild because it has not learned to hunt on its own. If it
does survive, the Frog may endanger local wildlife by out-competing local
creatures for the same food sources. Some suggestions: find a friend or
neighbor who would like a pet Frog, or donate it to a school for a wildlife
display, or give it to a local pet shop who can possibly find it a home.
About Your Bullfrog
Frogs can live 5 years or more in captivity.
An adult Bullfrog can grow to 4 to 6 inches, but it takes years for them to
get that big. Female Bullfrogs are usually slightly larger than males, but
it's not
really possible to tell which you have. Bullfrogs will not mate in your
Habitat because they do not mate until they are 5 years old and like special
conditions not offered in your Habitat.
