Features:
  • Feed Me, Seymour!". That's one of our favorite songs here at the home office--as sung by Audrey II, that lovely but terribly misunderstood houseplant with a taste for protein in Little Shop of Horrors.
  • And now you can start your own family of Audreys III, IV and more with Carnivorous Creations"
  • The kit comes with seeds for the Venus Flytrap, Cobra Plant, Yellow Trumpet, Hooded Pitcher Plant, Sweet Trumpet, Pale Trumpet, Purple Pitcher Plant, and three types of Drosera--happy little carnivores, every one.
  • You'll get a mix of (30) to (40) of the above seeds, 1/2 lb of peat moss, the 7-1/4" x 9" dia clear-plastic decagon terrarium, plus some tiny blue rocks, decals, and rubber crawlies.
  • Very complete instructions are included, and you can expect to wait between (4) weeks and couple of months to see the insect eaters sprout. No mention of whether these can carry a tune.

1 out of 5 stars Not worth the time and effort   December 1, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this for my son last christmas. What a disappointment! After waiting for the 8 weeks to pass with it in the fridge taking up valuable space, we saw the new plants hatching but after that...nothing. They all died. I should have went to Home Depot and bought a Venus Fly Trap and that would have been much cheaper and worth it.

purchased as a b-day gift for hubby. he thought it was fun and wonderful. he got a kick out of it. but it's so late in the year he wants to try to hold off until spring before planting it and playing with it. we'll be excited to see how it turns out.


1 out of 5 stars It doesn't work!   September 22, 2008

Don't buy this product. Save your money. We followed the directions and nothing sprouted at all.


1 out of 5 stars What a waste of money and space!   August 14, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

We got this for my son for Christmas - what a waste. I gave it 2 stars for educational value because it taught him to be careful what he wishes for. He had wanted this for months, and was thrilled when he opened it. We put it all together and then waited....and waited....and waited....for three months while the thing took up room in the refrigerator. We marked the calendar and did everything the directions said when they said to do it. NONE of the plants sprouted. The only carnivorous thing about this was the company producing it and the only thing they wanted to eat was money.


3 out of 5 stars Seems to have worked for me   June 20, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This item seemed to work just fine for me... as long as I have patience. I am NOT naturally very good with living things, but have had some success with these carnivorous critters (so far).

got this item as Xmas gift 25th December 2007.

8th February 2008, finally got around to "stratification"- put in fridge.
11th April 2008, removed from fridge and covered 2-of-3 holes on dome lid with tape to trap more condensation. -- placed on Western exposure.
13th May 2008, first 2 sprouts visible. distinct species... 1 tall skinny, 1 short fatty. --- here I noticed only a bit of white mold, so i did the hydrogen-peroxide bit and the white mold was gone the next morning.
20th June 2008, I now have 8 sprout-ettes. 3 of the tallboys, 3 of the fatties and 2 spikey looking little guys.

so far so good... but it takes patience.
g'luck
