Hi!

Thank you for offering the Frog Hatchery Kit.  My only concern is that we received 13 grass frog embryos and 12 of them have matured to the tadpole stage and are growing robustly every day.  The sheet says that if there are more than 3 that mature we should separate them.  I'm put off by the cost of now having to acquire and maintain 3 more habitat tanks.  Were our embryos incredibly awesome, or are they scary mutants to have this many survive?  Were we supposed to receive so many embryos?  Did I receive a shipment of zombie frogs?  What should we do with our 12 zombie frogs?  Does the death rate increase by any chance?  

Help?

Hello Bethany,

Thank you for your inquiry & thank you for the good laugh.  Lol  

Our supplier does ship extra frog embryos because the survival rate is typically fairly low.  It appears that you were a rarity who was blessed with some awesome mutant frogs.  We do NOT recommend that you release these frogs into the wild, as releasing any animal that is not native to your local environment has the potential of destroying the ecological balance. 

We do however, have a few suggestions.

1.       Donate them to a local school.  Many teachers & classrooms would love to have a class pet to raise and study.

2.       Give them to a friend or family member who would like to keep them as a pet.

3.       Contact a local pet shop to see if they would like them or if they know of another option. 

4.       You may also be able to post a notice on your local Freecycle or Craig’s List to find people who may be interested in raising zombie frogs.

I hope this is of some assistance to you.  We wish you well with your awesome, mutant, zombie frogs & hope that you can find a good home for them.    

We are delighted to answer any other questions you have and look forward to serving you again in the future.

Kind regards,
