I had one of these as a little kid, and had to get one for the kids. They were fascinated watching the ants work and digging tunnels. You have to order the ants, which there is a voucher inside the box for the ants. You just have to pay for the shipping of the ants.

We got this for our 4yo son for Christmas and he LOVES IT! He likes to make different “scenes” for them and checks on them multiple times a day. This is what the farm looks like after 1 week.After reading some reviews saying the ants could get out the port holes, I put electrical tape around the whole thing. This probably wasn’t necessary, but it makes me feel more comfortable having a bunch of live ants in our house. 🥴Overall I highly recommend for young kids. It’s good quality and has brought a lot of joy to our young kids!

I bought this ant farm for my toddler who is 21 mos old. I ordered the ants per the instructions that came with it. Two vials of ants were delivered and I would report that 75% of one vial were alive and 25% of the other vial were alive. Not sure why? We didn't get them shipped during the middle of summer like warnings mentioned in other reviews.The ant farm is very cute and basic. I set up the sand per instructions and dumped the ants in after a short stint in the fridge. In less than 12 hrs they already had tunnels going every which way!We had the ants for about one week and I noticed they really built up the sand against one of the side walls (the real thin part with green caps on the end to connect tubes to other ant farms). I didn't think anything of it until I walked downstairs one morning to see a large ant on my kitchen floor. Upon further inspection, I noticed one of the green caps had been removed and I had about 15-20 ants on my kitchen island! They built the sand up and pushed the cap out!!! (The caps are barely sitting in place and easily dislodged if you're not careful) I ended up having to kill all of the escapees because I was not about to wrangle up some biting freedom-tasting ants and put them back in the farm LOL m. So my suggestion to the company is maybe secure those caps tighter to prevent any future rise-ups from these ants who tried so hard to take over my household HAHA

Received this gift and followed the instructions for transferring ants into habitat. Took them right out of the package when they were delivered, put them in the fridge to calm them down, and poured them in. The ants started digging and making tunnels within 30 minutes. After about 2 hours they started slowing down a lot. Within the next hour, they were all dead. I reached out to the company we got the ants from and got no response. To my surprise, when I returned from a weekend getaway and checked my mail, I saw the ants.The company had seen my complaint I sent them about the ants dying. Instead of responding and letting me know that they were going to send more they just sent them. The problem with that is when they send the ants, you have to open the package immediately otherwise, the ants will die. You would think the company would let you know before sending more so you can be prepared.All the ants of course were dead when I opened the package because they got delivered Friday when I was gone and I opened the package as soon as I got home Sunday. I just through away the habitat because it was becoming a headache and my son was super disappointed. This was a birthday gift for him and he was so excited to watch the ants.Overall, I would say it's not worth the headache. I read other reviews and it seemed to be mixed on the ants living so I took a shot...I should have listened to the other people lol.

I was originally against this purchase because who wants ants in their home, but my five year old is super into bugs so we figured why not. The set up was super easy and it was cool to see the ants burrowing and such but they all died within a week so it ended up being a waste of time.

Bought as a birthday present and when we came to order the ants it says that they can only be ordered if you live in the USA. Went online to see if you could buy the ants elsewhere separately and they were over £50! Not sure if you can use normal garden ants but the information says you need harvester ants. Had to return will order the cheaper one that’s UK based

Bought this for my kids for Christmas. Thankfully we live in a warm country were there are ants outside in the winter. We went into the garden and got ants and followed the directions. Within hours we had tunnels. Super cool! You can order your ants from the company too though..
