Do you remember these guys from when you were a kid? I remember getting them as a gift one year and setting up the little tank, watching with total amazement when they not only hatched, but over the weeks, actually grew! We have very few of these in stock and they were difficult to get too, so when they've gone out of stock, I really doubt we'll get any more in this side of Christmas. They're educational, fascinating and the kind of gift which kids will always remember. Best of all, they won't break the bank either! Here's a little bit about them...

Triassic Triops are actual prehistoric creatures which are identical to their prehistoric relatives. They survived centuries during interrupted states of suspended animation called 'diapause'. This suspended state allows the Triops to survive through the ages withstanding droughts and other seasonal elements. This kit allows you to grow and study the behaviour of these amazing creatures which haven't changed for millions of years! The eggs are just about 1mm big but by the time they get to 35 days they'll have grown to up to 2 inches! Just add water and put them in a bright spot but DO read the instructions carefully!
