5 out of 5 stars first ant farm that works!   August 30, 2008
jens_aggie_boys
I bought this at an insect museum last week for my 8 and 5 year old boys. Ordered the ants the same day and they arrived, very healthy and active, in one week. We dumped them in and they started to tunnel into the starter holes within about 3 hours. Now, 2 days later they have started tunneling their own holes, in addition to zig-zagging around connecting the starter holes we punched for them. I really wish now that I had purchased the type that you can connect multiple habitats. But, since we've never had any luck with ant farms before, I didn't want to pay the extra cost for that kind over the single habitat variety. I have put the illuminator on their Christmas wish list, as well as another habitat with green gel. If you or your kids are fascinated with ants, you probably won't be disaapointed with this product!


5 out of 5 stars great gift!   August 26, 2008

I ordered this for my son's 2nd grade class. We got the ants on a Friday and will take the farm on Monday. all weekend my son has been so curious about what the ants will do next. He has been very excited to get up each morning to see what the ants have done overnight. I know the class will like to watch it too.



3 out of 5 stars Ants wouldn't take...   July 25, 2008
Glynnis Leigh Odonnell (Maryland, USA)
I got the ants from the company- they all showed up alive, but didn't do anything in the gel but die in a few weeks. Cool idea, but didn't work for me.


5 out of 5 stars Interesting and educational   July 18, 2008
Dodaddy (Indiana)
We bought this for our son and he loves it. It shows the daily goings on in an ants life. This is a very rugged built product as well. Very educational and entertaining. I would highly recommend it.
