Edited: wanted to add a pic and update. We ordered and received ants, too many ants according to directions. There is no way to separate so they all wnnt in. They've been going strong for almost 3 months, but I think we are closing in on the end. Only 6 remain. Cool looking up and learning about ant graveyards. One piece of advice,, remember to give them air daily,, and if there are many, give air oftentimes!
This is the 3rd time we've purchased this and every time it's been great. Bought it probably 12 years ago for my son, bought last year for our nephew, and finally bought one for my husband and I. We have never had any of the issues others have spoken of. One person complained the ants didn't have food or water so they obviously didn't read the instructions or what the gel is for. Another said there were issues getting the ants alive and there are specific instructions for that too. The only difference I see this time is they sent too many ants and I believe that is necessitating that I open the oxygen hole more often. This is so much fun to watch and the little ones, my 20 somethings, and even my parents are getting a kick out of this. I highly recommend!

Q & A
- Is live ant included? Where can I buy the ants?
No, this ant farm does not include live ants. However, we would give you some suggestions of trustworthy sources. Details are included in our booklet in the package.
- Are the ants for this any special variety?
We suggest harvester ants as they dig great tunnels.
- How many ants does it hold?
We recommend 20 -30 ants.
- My ants are not digging. How long does it take before the ants make tunnels?
Some ants start tunnelling immediately. Some take them couple of days. Each one is different, just like human! So please leave them in a quiet place and be patient.
- How long can the ants survive in the farm?
Normally the ants will live for about 2 to 6 months. Queen ant is not a must, but having one in the system will help the colony survive longer.

15 years ago I bought a similar ant habitat for my son. It was a hit then and now it is a hit for my 5 1/2 yr old niece. We ordered ants and they arrived a few days before Christmas. They are purchased separately. There was only one casualty and the crew took care of him. They are busy starting their tunnels. It took a few days to see some progress. This kit is super easy. Poke a few holes in the gel. Drop the ants in through the circular hole, put the plug in and watch them work. It comes with a little magnifying glass. You do not have to add anything or open the enclosure. The ants eat the gel. I highly recommend as escape artists are rare to impossible unless u open the lid. This habitat has an led light which makes it fun to watch at night.

This seemed like a great idea and my ant loving kids were excited about being able to see their ants through the gel digging tunnels. However, 3 weeks later and the ants still won’t tunnel. Initially, we made 4 starter holes. After a week of no tunneling and watching the ants constantly trip over the holes, I decided to scrape off the dry/hard top layer of the gel thinking it would help them realize it was soft enough to bite through. Nope, that didn’t help either. 3 weeks later and we are down to 4 tough ants because the others wouldn’t tunnel or eat the gel. I started feeding the ants like normal (not our first farm) and watering them and these last few have hung on. I bought the Milton’s giant ant farm with new ants that are tunneling happily away, but since ant colonies don’t mix, I’m going to buy another small Milton farm for the last 4 ants left of the gel farm. Don’t buy this product. The giant Milton’s farm is the best ant farm I’ve bought to date.
