Uncle Milton Planet Frog - Manual (Page 3)

Before you open the
tadpole container, you
must prepare the Planet
Frog habitat. Do not delay!
Your tadpole has been
cooped up in the container for a
long time and is anxious to get out.
You may notice your tadpole swimming very
fast in erratic patterns, upside-down or
spiraling through the water. This is normal and
should not be mistaken for bad health. If your
tadpole is not moving it could be in “shipping
shock”. This condition is not out of the
ordinary, and could last up to 72 hours.
Preparing Planet Frog
1
Fill the water area of Planet Frog with room
temperature bottled spring water to the
yellow fill line, (approximately a half inch
below the top edge of the shore) DO NOT USE
tap water, mineral, distilled, carbonated,
sparkling or seltzer water. These other types of
water may kill your tadpole.
2
Float the unopened tadpole container
(with the tadpole inside) on the water. Let the
container stay there for 30 minutes, so the
water inside the container becomes the same
temperature as the water on Planet Frog. The
yellow color of the water in the tadpole
container is normal. It will actually help the
tadpole get used to it’s new home. (The yellow
color will eventually disappear over time.)
3
After 30 minutes, carefully open the
tadpole container and lower it into the water
in the habitat. Now slowly pour the entire
contents of the tadpole container, including
the tadpole, into the water.
4
Place Planet Frog in a quiet,
out-of-the-way spot, away from direct
sunlight or heat. The temperature in your
room should be kept between 75˚ and 80˚
F. If the area your habitat is placed in is too
cold, a desk lamp placed can provided the
necessary heat for your tadpole. (Please note:
Do not place the habitat too close to
the lamp) Allow your tadpole to
spend a few hours getting
used to it’s new home.
Any movement or
disturbances to
Planet Frog
should be
avoided.
5
After a few hours,
add more room temperature
bottled water to Planet Frog.
Fill the water
exactly to the
yellow fill line
(approximately a half
inch below the top
edge of the shore).

Watch your
tadpole grow!
