    Just got our ants
    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.

    I read the instructions carefully, but somehow ended up with too much moisture in my ant farm. The western harvester ants I ordered separately on Amazon came with honey and seeds with instructions to simply put them in the ant farm. It turns out seeds + water = plants 🤦🏼‍♀️ It wasn’t long before I had plants and mold growing and most of my ants were dying. I ordered another ant farm to start over and transfer the remaining ants. This ant farm comes with a tube for transporting, but the ants will not go through it, they appear to be too large. To transport the ants, I had to pop of the top, insert a long strip of paper towel that they climbed up on, and then I just dropped that into the new habitat. To prevent plant growth you need to thoroughly crush seeds before mixing them in honey and putting them in the ant farm. I also had to come up with a way to give them enough food to survive and remove any remaining food after a day or 2. I cut a long strip of card stock, putting the food at the bottom and putting a little accordion fold at the top so that I can pull it out with tweezers and just put a new piece of card stock and new food in every 2 days, and this is working well. The ants are very healthy at this time, and much more active than they were when I was feeding them less frequently. Overall, I definitely recommend this ant farm and the western harvester ants. It’s actually nice having two of the habitats so that I can transport the ants back-and-forth so they always have a nice clean home. One more important piece of advice: order your ants from Amazon when it is between 32 and 85°F, otherwise they will die in transit. Good luck!

    The Uncle Milton Giant Ant Farm is an educational and engaging product that offers a unique opportunity for children and adults alike to observe the fascinating world of ants up close. This type of ant farm has been a classic choice for generations, and the Uncle Milton version certainly has its merits.

    One of the standout features of the Giant Ant Farm is its size. As the name suggests, it's quite spacious, allowing ants to dig tunnels, create chambers, and establish their own intricate colony within the habitat. This offers an excellent opportunity to witness the natural behaviors of ants as they work together to construct their environment.

    The included gel substance is a convenient alternative to traditional sand or soil-based ant farms. This clear gel not only provides ants with the necessary nutrients and moisture but also allows for better visibility of their activities. It's interesting to watch as ants tunnel through the gel, creating intricate pathways and chambers.

    The ant farm provides an educational experience that teaches about ant behavior, biology, and teamwork. Observing the ants as they forage, build tunnels, and care for their young can be both fascinating and informative. It's a great way to spark curiosity and interest in the natural world and the intricate ecosystems that ants create.

    Additionally, the ant farm comes with a helpful guidebook that offers instructions on setup, care, and insights into ant behavior. This resource can be especially beneficial for educators or parents looking to turn the ant farm into a valuable learning experience.

    In conclusion, the Uncle Milton Giant Ant Farm is a valuable educational tool that offers an engaging and captivating opportunity to observe ants in action. Its spacious design, gel habitat, and educational guide make it a great choice for anyone interested in learning about the behavior and biology of these tiny creatures. Whether for personal enjoyment or as an educational tool, the Giant Ant Farm can provide hours of observation and discovery.

    My nephew loved his ant farm. It comes with a voucher to order ants. Then they send you 2 voles, a total of 60 worker ants. They died off pretty quickly. But he did get to watch them build tunnels and pile up their dead for a few days. They are going to order more ants from a different company to see if they last a little longer than a week.

    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!
