Directions for a Go Diego Go Frog Habitat

The Diego Frog Farm provides a fun and family-friendly habitat for a tadpole to grow into a frog.

The Go Diego Go Frog Farm provides the perfect habitat for young adventurers and animal rescuers to watch a young tadpole grow into an adult frog. Once you have decided on the type of tadpole or frog you want to include in your habitat, you are ready to set up your Diego Frog Farm. Use this opportunity to encourage your child's concern for animals and the environment. The Diego Frog Farm should be handled with care and maintained regularly to promote a healthy habitat. Proper attention is essential to responsibly keep your frog safe and well.

Instructions

1. Choose a tadpole from your local pet store after deciding the type of frog that is best for you. The frog should not grow to be any more than 3 inches in size.

2. Locate a cool place to keep your frog farm that is out of sunlight. Be sure to hold the frog farm by the base when moving it.

3. Remove the water cup insert and the tape on the cup. Fill half of the cup with bottled spring water kept at room temperature. Do not use tap water or other types of water that can be harmful to your tadpole.

4. Prepare your tadpole for placement in his new home by floating the tadpole's unopened cup or bag in the frog farm water cup for 30 minutes. This allows the tadpole to adjust to the temperature of the water.

5. Open the container and gently lower and release the tadpole into the water of the Diego Frog Farm. Give the tadpole a few hours before adding any more water. Wait 12 hours before feeding your tadpole.

6. Once your tadpole grows into a frog, he will start to eat live crickets or other insects that you can buy from your pet store.

7. Keep the habitat clean by replacing half of the water every week and regularly removing any waste. Clean the habitat of your adult frog by placing the frog in a breathable container while changing the water.

Tips & Warnings

• Speak with a professional from the pet store or do your own research when choosing a tadpole or frog. Do not remove frogs from their natural habitat. Certain types of professionally bred frogs are best for beginners and come from disease-free environments when purchased.

• Do not overfeed your tadpole. When your tadpole begins losing his tail, he will go through a brief period when he does not need to eat. Follow the instructions on your tadpole food or speak with someone at the pet store if you have questions about feeding your tadpole or frog.

• Do not use soap or other chemicals when cleaning your Go Diego Go Frog Farm habitat.
