## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Total waste of money
*by A***E on 9 June 2024*

I brought this for my sons as he loves all these sorta things we have many successful experiences with sea monkeys and and the caterpillar to butterflies but these was one that he wanted to try we have brought all extra items and followed the step by step instructions twice now and still nothing My 9 year old boy is so disappointed I don't recommend at all to anyone unless you want to waste money

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinatimg
*by A***R on 14 January 2024*

The media could not be loaded. I managed to hatch 5, but only 1 survived. Jason must have laid a few eggs as Freddy appeared after a couple of weeks. Love my boys to bits

### ⭐ No eggs.
*by S***S on 13 August 2024*

Looked everywhere but there were no eggs. They're supposed to come in a tiny pot that says eggs, but there wasn't one. This product is hit and miss.
