Thank you to all my readers. I have enjoyed sharing my life and loves over the past 3+ years but I feel it is my time to move on and pursue other interests. I feel very blessed to have had this opportunity and wish you all the very best.

Our Best Bet Pet - African Dwarf Frogs

When my husband and I got married I convinced him we had to have a dog and then when we decided not to have anymore children, I convinced him again that we had to get a little girl dog too. We ended up having more children after-all and then realized that it was just too much work to have 2 dogs and 2 little boys so they (the dogs, not the boys) ended up making new homes at my aunts. However, there is still a desire to have a pet and these African Dwarf Frogs from Wild Creations are perfect for a busy home like ours.

"The frogs come in an EcoAquarium that's a self-contained aquatic ecosystem, so all kids have to do is feed them twice a week and change the water 4 times a year! These easy-to-maintain pets are a lot of fun to watch in their habitats, and they teach kids valuable lessons about responsibility, science, nature and life. They're not just for kids though, adults love them too! They're about an inch or less long, and have a lid (with a small hole for dropping food through) so you don't have to worry about them escaping."

The set up was very easy and the EcoAquarium is very small so we are able to have it on our kitchen table where we can watch them all day long. Wild Creations guarantees 100% healthy shipment of the frogs and if something were to happen, they offer a 30 day warranty and will replace the frogs 100% free of charge. Unfortunately, we did have a little frog die and not only did Wild Creations replace the frog, but they also called me (as they would any customer) to find out what happened. They want  to make sure that hey can learn anything about what might have happened and also make any suggestions that might come up. Things happen and I was extremely happy with the way Wild Creations handled the entire situation.

The frog that died appears to have not arrived well, he/she was probably over-stressed from the shipment. However, the other frog was always very active and now the replacement frog is doing great. He certainly has some serious personality. He is hysterical, getting up on his hind legs to greet me each morning and every time I sit down at the table. Jake loves to watch them interact and swim around. I am so impressed with the frogs and Wild Creations - for those of you who don't have a lot of time to take care of pets but still want to have a pet, these are perfect.

WIN IT!: One of my readers will win the the Classic EcoAquarium Starter Kit (4”x 4” aquarium Each starter kit comes with two African Dwarf frogs, plastic base and frog food) ARV: $30

TO ENTER: Go to Wild Creations and either tell me something interesting about their company OR find out the name of one of the more than 40 (!!!) new products that Wild Creations is introducing later in 2010 noted in their online PDF catalog.
