I recently bought
I have also had African Pygmy Frogs in my classroom--these tiny frogs live underwater like fish. They are tiny and also inexpensive. When I had them, they lived in a small fish tank with a filter that I purchased for under $15 at Wal-Mart. They were easy to maintain and I did not have to clean the tank as often as I expected. the kids loved having them in the classroom. Finally, you can purchase a "Grow a Frog" kit from many of the teacher stores/catalogs. In the kit, you receive a small tank, food, and a certificate that entitles you to a tadpole. The tadpole will grow into a frog while in your classroom--the students enjoyed watching the changes! (good science lesson) The frog is also an underwater frog, although will grow to be a little bigger than the African Pygmy frogs. Finally (I know I am long winded), make sure that if you decide to go with an animal with hair to be aware of allergies and school policies. Good Luck!
