Product Description

Product Description

Aquasaurs have been around for a lot longer than the internet! They are a crustacean know as dinosaur shrimp or for the Latin literate amongst you triops longicaudatus (honestly)! The key fact about the Aquasaurs is that their eggs can lie dormant for years and are only hatch when they come into contact with water. Which is a perfect recipe for a mail order gadget! The Aquasaurs kit comes complete with tank, prehistoric scenery, food, gravel and instructions.oh and of course, eggs! Add the gravel to the tank; arrange your scenery and then some water. Add the eggs (around 50 are supplied), and wait for your own pre-historic creatures to hatch! The Aquasaurs kit also contains a voucher so you can become an official Aquasaurs club member for a reduced price of £10.99. Join and receive a club kit containing: 2 educational posters, mini-flashlight, Trilobite fossil replica, 3-lens magnifier, Aquasaurs sticker, membership card, plus egg & food refill kit.


Product Description

Travel back in time with this fascinating prehistoric creature habitat with a crazy under-water volcanic landscape! Aquasaurs (Latin name triops longicaudatus) are thought to have been around for 350 million years. Their eggs can remain dormant for years but once re-hydrated in your tank then they begin to hatch out into tiny little creatures at first which then grow as you care for and feed your new pre-historic friends! Each Aquasaurs kit includes the 2 litre capacity tank with temperature gauge, an informative instruction manual with fun facts and enough live Aquasaur eggs and food for two sessions - just add water and see them hatch. But the fun is not over then as you can mail order new eggs and food and even become a member of the Aquasaurs Club! 6 Years +

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intertainment for wee explorers, 19 Jan 2008
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I can't believe the previous review!! Why on earth +0do a review of something you have not tried but just imagine will be bad...I mean, what outlook on life does that reflect...just ridiculous!
My 4 year old got this for Christmas from an uncle and I think it has been great. At four my son is very interested in absolutely everything and has wanted a pet for a while. This gave him the opportunity to have a fish tank but one that probably only lasts as long as his interest. The Aquasaurs live between 20 and 90 days so although I end up keeping the beasts happy i only have to do it for a limited time.
My son has been fascinated with the whole thing - preparing the tank, putting in the eggs, watching them hatch, feeding them and watching them grow. He spends lots of time just watching them swim. I think he even learned a lot when one of them died and got gobbled by the others or
had to be fished out.
I think this is a great wee education in the circle of life and a good way to test if the child is interested and able to keep a pet.
The aquasaurs need quite a bit of care - every 3 days you have to fish them out and change the water. They can only cope with spring water so that is a bit of hassle and extra cost. For the temperature of the water we just had a little lamp sitting close to the tank. When they had grown a bit bigger they seemed to cope fairly well with a lower temperature and we only had the light on when we wanted to look at them swim. I recommend this even with the extra work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great first try at taking care of a pet, 6 Sep 2008
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I have to agree that this is a GREAT product and introduction to children to taking care of any future pets. Yes you do have to get spring water and yes you do have to clean the water and maintain it at a certain temperature but frankly as parents we do much crazier and complicated things for our children, so this is a no brainer. We did not get a lamp! They survived with the temperature of our house. It is true that they do eat each other and the last one left which we called STAR GIRL was huge - but we made it fun for our boys and it was a great experience for them. STAR GIRL survived for roughly the 90 days.

We will start again with some new ones..... now to think of their names!
