    This was a gift for my son for Christmas. He was very excited but had to wait patiently for the ants ( never hurt anyone). The ants came- most of them alive and started working hard right away. We all have spent tons of time just watching and staring. This will definitely be something I purchase for friends and nieces/ nephews in the future. I did tape the sides bc I have no interest in them escaping lol… another review mentioned that they had- so far no issues.

    Purchased this ant farm for my 5 year old son. The ant farm itself is fairly straightforward, just follow the instructions to set up. Included is a voucher for 2 vials of ants from the manufacturer. You just have to pay 6 dollars shipping and place the order online. They ship the ants to you. Unfortunately the shipping email was in my spam folder and I never saw that my ants were on the way. The vials of ants were in my mailbox for 3 days in freezing night time temps. Was in the 20s Fahrenheit at night and 40s during the day. When I checked the mail after being away a few days, I really thought the ants were dead. Nothing was moving in the vial and the package (just a shipping envelope) was ice cold. To my surprise after 20 minutes at room temperature all the ants were still alive! Not a single ant was dead and now they’re digging lots of tunnels and eating crackers and scraps. Highly recommend.

    Bought this for my four year old grandson's birthday. Ordered ants and saved the coupon - I wanted him to build it right away. It was crazy to watch the ants tunnel and build in the farm. After a month, the ants are still alive, they've built mountains, and are still actively building and rebuilding.
    My only issue was the caps for the tube that came with the farm. They were easily "pushed out" by the ants and they tried to escape. Thank goodness we noticed right away and caught the little critters. Since we weren't going to connect another farm, we glued them on and have had no other issues.
    I remember my ant farm from the 70's and I am pleased to share this experience with my grandson. Thanks Uncle Milton! It's a great purchase!

    Usually I dislike this kind of habitat/terrarium for ants but as my colony grows larger these are great to put in between their traveling tubes as a food chamber for east cleanout. The uncle Milton giant ant farm with viewable window is also a great gift for kids to teach them responsibilities.

    I could not be more pleased with the product. After reading some of the reviews I was cautious about being ants into my home. However, it was a wonderful experience for my 10 year old who is super inquisitive and loves anything that has to do with nature. The ants we purchased were all delivered alive and in a couple hours were off working together and building tunnels. My son enjoyed observing and caring for them and learned a lot about these insects. Highly recommend this product for beginners. It was well secured and not 1 ant escaped!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fun; however, Don't Do For Christmas or Winter Time Gift
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024

    We did a lot of research prior to purchasing a AntFarm and besides using something like AntsCanada and finding a local provider through their forums, this is the best product for a beginner/children. I had one when ibwas a kid from the same company. You will want to also order an 8 to 10 inch tweezers and either a pipette or eye dropper bottle from somewhere to remove food scraps every two to three days to prevent mold and to water the ants.

    Remember, since Queens cant be shipped, the ants will only live two weeks to two months if you are lucky. It's very fun to watch them dig; however, I would definitely steer a buyer away from buying as a Christmas gift or if you live in cold weather climates during winter.

    They give you a voucher for free ants but you still pay shipping. It takes three to five weeks to ship. We got an order for approximately 60 ants, once shipped, they shipped on the coldest part of the year with no protective packaging, to that point and the directions state they monitor weather, and it took several days for them to arrive and they sat over the weekend at the post office due to arriving Saturday night in town. I got them out of the mail box immediately after the post lady delivered them Monday afternoon and still was left with only 13 alive ants after the 24 hour waiting period to get accustom to the farm and 4 more dying withing two days. It was a blast picking out 47 dead ants from the farm with the live ones not very happy.

    The directions say to email them; however, I don't want the same thing to happen now that it's colder and you can't mix ants or they coups fight and kill each other. It has been fun watching the few ants we have tunnel through the sand.
