Grow your own triops and experience the excitement as they hatch, grow, molt, burrow in the sand, and lay eggs. The extra-large tank is perfect for observation, providing ample space for the prehistoric crustaceans to swim and featuring a separate hatching area. The researcher’s booklet explains the step-by-step process of raising and caring for the triops and includes exciting experiments on the animals' behavior. Through daily observation and regular care of the triops, children aged 8 to 14 learn to take on their first responsibilities for animals. The experiment kit includes sand, special food, a magnifying glass, and eggs. The triops eggs come from controlled and sustainable laboratory breeding and have not been taken from the wild.
