Despite that, we purchased and received 2 tubes of harvester ants and place them inside. The first thing we notice is how difficult it was for them to get to the food and water. The ones who got down there couldn't get back up without assistance. It seems the tubes are too smooth and when they tried to climb up they just slide right back down. Many ants were stuck in the bottom beneath the "feeding" area. It took them almost an entire week to start tunneling into the gel. They did not previously seem interested in the gel at all, and before that point had just been using the space along the edges and ends where the gel had shrunk and separated from the walls of the habitat. This includes all the way along the bottom underneath the gel.
As I don't claim to be an expert on ants or their behaviors, it still seems to me that it's silly to think the ants are going to use this space the way we want them to. I had created a solution for the tube to help them get up and down. The first solution was non-toxic, waterbased paint. I thought maybe they just need something to grip. But they didn't like it and stopped using the tube all together, so I cleaned out the tube and simply used a hard brush to scratch the plastic on the inside to give them something to hang onto. Once they were able to go up and down more effectively, they proceeded to bring chunks of the gel down and put them all over their little water pad. I'm confused by that behavior but I'm sure there's a reason. They seem to also be placing trash on it, and I wonder, where are they going to get water from?
Also, the instructions say to place the second water pad on the bottom floor of the feeding area for extra moisture in the habitat. The problem with this is that the only way to do that is to open one of the bottom holes, for example by pulling out the tube and that's just not a great idea in my opinion. So once that pad dries... It's just dry.
The ants finally seem to be making this place their home after a couple of weeks, though I still can't claim to understand their behavior. Maybe I'm missing something. My son is happy with the ants, and the habitat overall but I think it could have been in better condition. I'm a bit concerned because they don't seem to be using the food and water area the way we had expected. There is a hole on the very bottom underneath the feeding area explained in the instructions as a way to dump out the dead ants, but who's to say this is where they will place them? And either way it seems a bit difficult to "dump" them effectively without escaping ants.
Overall it was a decent purchase and has at least made my son smile for a time, but I think we will consider transferring our ants to something different.

Normale kleine Ameisen schaffen keine Gänge zu bauen, stattdessen haben sie die Freiheit gesucht indem sie durch die kleinen Luftlöcher das weite gesucht haben.
