These frogs are a great addition to any home or garden. You can give each frog a different colour to make your garden feel alive. These are no ordinary frogs. They are smart and will try their best to stay where you want them, and get past any obstacles in their way. You can put them in a terrarium, garden or even have them as a follower up at your sky box.

This item comes complete with an easy-to-use HUD interface. This means you won't have to hunt through dialogue menus to get things going. Simply wear the HUD, rez a frog, and you're good to go.

Additional Options

Your frog has a number of options for your convenience.

  • Call Home - tells the frog to report his last position in chat, so you can click the link to teleport to him.
  • Sounds - toggle croaking sound on/off.
  • TPFX - toggle teleporting particle fx on/off
  • Training Hoop - rez a jumping hoop for your frog to play with.
  • Info - A single click provides the link to this website. Long clicking and holding the info button will check for any updates to the product.

Tips

  • Try not to cross sim borders while your frog is following you. Although I have not tested this - it is generally a bad idea, since Second Life is notorious for losing physical objects while crossing sim borders - never to be seen again.
  • Once a frog has started hopping, he will ignore all further HUD commands until he is stopped by pressing the STOP icon on the HUD. This is so you can program different frogs for different areas easily.
  • If a frog has been told to ignore the HUD, you can enable it again by left-clicking and holding the frog for 2 seconds. Do not confuse this as a bug, it is an intended "low lag" feature designed to allow you to use frogs as static pets for a terrarium or edge of a pond.
