I absolutely love my Carruth frog rain gauge. I grinned from ear to ear when I first took it out of the box, and I smile every time I think about it. The detail and whismical expression on the frog's face gives it such a charming personality - it almost seems like it should hop out of my garden. I almost hated to put it outside in my garden, but I know that it will weather just fine and our strong winds won't blow it over since it is made of such heavy and durable material. I strongly recommend this item to all people who like to have fun with their gardening!! Now if it would just rain!!!

You can find a replace glass for this product at catalogcity.com

Hi all,

I don't own this particular rain gauge but one similar, and like many others have a broken glass. I found two good places for replacement glass:

www.accumall.com - look under "Rain Gauges" - has them for $3.75 with free standard shipping
www.plowandhearth.com - product #9128 - has them for $1.95 with shipping $3.99 (unless you also order more stuff, shipping charge varies with order)

I hope this helps!

I absolutely LOVE my Drinking The Rain Rain Gauge frog. I was impressed with the level of detail on this little guy. He is nice and heavy so I don't have to worry about him blowing over. He is a great addition to my garden.

Mine didnt even come with the rain guage. It didnt come with the cork pads. Thank goodness for the other reviews that amazon has supplied. They will at least give me the chance to locate a replacement.

...with Mr. Froggy. I, too, lost the tube part of the gauge. Well, let me restate that: I know where it is (hence, technically not lost) but it's not like I can get to it. That's going to require some scoping. Seems like there's no end in sight.

Regardless, prior to that bad experience this was the hands-down favorite on my deck. I spent hours staring, staring....waiting to see who would make the first move. I ALWAYS LOST!! I'LL SHOW YOU.

..see how you like the dark. Hm? You like it? Anyway, I've got to get a replacement tube.

Too cute for words. I for some reason I thought that it was going to be a bit bigger, but thats it. Love it!

It looks great, so that's the basis of the five stars. Well, that and the fact that the glass tube arrived unbroken. Whew!

Now all I need is some rain. I'd like to make a trade with someone in north-central California: Send us some of your rain and I'll send you some San Antonio sunshine!

I will rate this a 5 if I am able to replace the glass tube for the rain gauge. Mine broke, and if I cannot replace the glass tube, then the entire piece has far less value -- right now no value.

I totally love my froggie rain gauge but unfortunately the wind blew over our patio table unto it and broke the glass gauge. Is there anyway I can replace this part? I really miss checking the froggie for the amount of rain that has fallen on my garden.
