Go "frog-wild" for these easy-care pets
user
Finding a pet that’s exciting for kids but low maintenance for
parents is a tough challenge. But we've found a really fun
solution. The
EcoAquarium from Wild Creations is an all-in-one
aquatic environment that will thrill kids and adults alike.
The kit comes with two
frogs -- excitable, jumpy creatures that are great fun to watch.
The "living gravel" that comes with the kit acts as a
natural filtration system, so no additional chemicals, aeration or
filters are required. The frogs need to be fed twice each week
(which our kids love doing) and the food comes with your system. As
for tank maintenance, the water only needs to be changed once every
five or six months. Phew!
Wild Creations
co-founders Rhett Powers and Peter Gasca worked with a marine
scientist to develop breeding methods for the frogs, and
they're now the largest breeders for that species. They keep a
veterinarian on staff to ensure the frogs are taken care of, and
they never ship the frogs when weather conditions are extreme. If
kids are pleading for a pet, the EcoAquarium is a great way to ease
into pet ownership. It's fun, compact and low maintenance. Why
not bring one to the office or classroom, too? The fun is
contagious.
