I ordered this ant farm for my granddaughters. It arrived very quickly, easy to set up and neat looking design. That's where the good ends and the death begins. The ants purposefully avoided the gel material. The stated in the treat pods and only a few left the safety of the pods. The ants that ventured up the tubes to access the living area were quickly entombed in the green gel, which has a consistancy more like slime. I never felt bad for a bug before but once I watched these ants drowning the slime I had to buy a traditional sand filled habitat. Thankfully it came very quickly and were able to relocate the surviving ants, about 40 of the sixty I purchased. They took to the new farm immediately and within 24 hours they had dug tunnels and thriving.

Purchased this for 6 year old Grandson's birthday. Chose this one because it has the two feeding stations that twist on and off. They can "feed the ants treats" and it's secure enough that the ants won't escape. (He has a younger brother. With two feeding stations they can each have their own to use.) Doesn't take up a lot of space and, the price was super reasonable compared to other farms. They love it! **Ants don't come with it. Great price for ants at AntsAlive,com and fabulous service there. Also bought a children's Bug Log and two books on ants/ insects to go with it : )

This is awesome, we can watch the ants tunneling thru the gel, storing bits of the gel in the little chambers. We can give the ants special treats and watch how fast they respond to rec's a treat. They really luv honey and berries. The features of this one is far better than any ant farm we have had before. The ants have been thriving. It is great.

The ant farm was neat but the ants avoided the gel. Some died in the gel and the others just avoided going anywhere near it.
