Ants Extend Side Latches

Within 24 hours of setting up this habitat, the ants worked together as a team, extended the side latches, and escaped. I have to give the ants 5 stars and this product 1 star because I didn't take this into account. Maybe I have super smart and strong ants?

Pros
  • Build Trust
Cons
  • Long Shipment

Nobody escaped! - Science Kits and Toys

Not a single ant escaped! Although small ants should not be planted there, because they will run away. The type of ants you get from this company (which you have to send) are the perfect size. Our first delivery of ants froze because my husband didn't bring any mail and it was 28F outside. We just got a refill pack (50 ants) and they are fine.

Pros
  • GOLS Certificate
Cons
  • Some Little Stuff

Disappointment: education and training

We received the ant farm and got our free ants from the company. The ants showed up about two weeks later. There were about 30 live ants in two test tubes. We followed the instructions to T and by the second day we had killed a third of the ants. On day 4 we had 12. Today is day 7 and everyone is dead. The children are very disappointed. Basically we watched them tunnel for two days and then we buried the dead the whole time. We have emailed the company and to date have had no response.

Pros
  • hands-free operation
Cons
  • repair

It's best to read the fine print in the Training and Education section

Ants need food, but (depending on what you feed them) the food gets moldy after a while and looks gross on the farm. Also, since no queen was sent, please note that your ants will only live for a few weeks. You have to pay shipping to have the ants shipped to you (about $7) and the company will NOT ship the ants if the temperature in your area is not in the right range. This is especially important to note if you are ordering them for training because if there are no approved rates in your…

Pros
  • Cool Product
Cons
  • Not a Vending Machine

Everything was fine until the ants ran away

I had high hopes for this ant farm considering it was for my daughter's 5th birthday and it was the first item on her list. We had fun installing it and I ordered the ants to come in so we didn't have to wait for them to come. About an hour and a half after we installed it, I go upstairs and see ants crawling around on the dresser. They poked out one of the ports. I put duct tape on them and they started coming out from the bottom. Now they're sitting in my basement and the whole thing is taped

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Great product for kids

Ant farm is great. I got it for my 5 year old and we love it. It's fun and interesting to watch all day long and has been for days. The white sand really allows my child to see the brown ants in action and see their tunnels clearly. Setup was so easy and quick, literally like 3 steps. The only concern initially was that the recommended ants we bought from Revain arrived and they were pincer/spiky ants. I was concerned as to why this species of ant would be recommended for a baby product. But I…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Some flaws

Order an ant when ordering your farm.

Neat product. The Giant Ant Farm isn't all that big, so I'm inclined to think that anyone who really wants to enjoy their ants should choose the Giant version over the original. To avoid having to wait for your ants to arrive within 3-6 weeks of redeeming the voucher, I recommend ordering 2 tubes of Red Cut Ants when you first order your ant farm, as the farm will arrive first and the ants will arrive a few days later arrive . To avoid having to buy extremely overpriced artificial sand filler…

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

Great, we've already learned a lot.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my 4 year old son who loves ants. It had everything you need to start except the ants. It's so neat! All of our friends and family watch them for hours. I ordered ants for Christmas and received them last week. I knew the ants would have to wait a long time. The instructions clearly state that you must wait for the weather to reach the ideal temperature before shipping them. (I had to pay to ship the ants but it was less than $5 so I'm not complaining).

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Hard to say

Nothing worthwhile comes easy

After having had about 4 of these ant farms in my 24 years of life and making the same mistakes each time, I decided I owed Uncle Milton a review. farms as a child. I don't know how or why, but my mother considered ant farms to be an important educational tool for children to learn the value of hard work. The lesson took hold and I am now in therapy to get rid of the destructive belief that my ability to do things for others creates a single purpose. Regardless, the yard itself comes first. I…

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price
