Sea Monkeys

[mummyme]

Hi all,

I am considering getting some sea monkeys as i thought they would be interesting for the children. Has anybody had them. Did it work? Did they last long? Do you have to change their water and stuff?

I would appreciate any advice.

My kids had them when they where little Looking back they where interested in them for the first week then that was it. May look at getting them for the little ones, there interest may last longer seeing as they don't live here

in the olden days... ads for these would be on the last pages of the Dandy or Beano. I remember looking at the ad and seeing the mummy one in her pinny, daddy in his bowler hat and the children all dressed to play. Oh god i wanted them....i wanted a little family in a bowl just for me....i begged and begged my dad.....he eventually gave in and let me get a postal order to send with the form.


They arrived....after putting this powder stuff in the bowl i waited for mummy and daddy and little bobby and sue.

BUT.....it was just shrimpy type things....tiny....no pinny, no bowler hat, no little booby or sue.


RIP OFF.....RIP OFF I TELL YOU


i have never got over it.....scarred me for life

My 2 daughters had them they used birthday money and did it by themselves.They actually lasted quite a while.couple of months if I remember rightly.
But my youngest also got a triop which was really weird but it worked.And sean the triop appeared for about 6 months!
