Grow-a-Frog Desk Pet


We have great memories of hand-feeding our pet Grow-a-Frogs back in the day, and felt that fit perfectly with the Soxfords "Grow up, not old" lifestyle. Give them a little TLC, and the little tadpoles will grow up into friendly frogs that are easy to care for, fun to watch (a.k.a."zone out" to during long meetings), can be trained to be hand-fed, and are just plain nostalgic fun!
