I bought one of these and ordered the ants from the website. It was pretty interesting for a while; the ants made tunnels just like in the picture. But after a while they just started making a big empty space next to the outer wall, and it wasn't quite as cool to watch.
The ants lasted a few months, but I couldn't figure out how to get the dead ones out - their friends had carried them to a chamber down near the bottom. I ended up throwing it out, which really seemed like a waste. I wish they provided a way to refill it.
 first ant farm that works! August 30, 2008

I bought this at an insect museum last week for my 8 and 5 year old boys. Ordered the ants the same day and they arrived, very healthy and active, in one week. We dumped them in and they started to tunnel into the starter holes within about 3 hours. Now, 2 days later they have started tunneling their own holes, in addition to zig-zagging around connecting the starter holes we punched for them. I really wish now that I had purchased the type that you can connect multiple habitats. But, since we've never had any luck with ant farms before, I didn't want to pay the extra cost for that kind over the single habitat variety. I have put the illuminator on their Christmas wish list, as well as another habitat with green gel. If you or your kids are fascinated with ants, you probably won't be disaapointed with this product!
great gift! August 26, 2008

I ordered this for my son's 2nd grade class. We got the ants on a Friday and will take the farm on Monday. all weekend my son has been so curious about what the ants will do next. He has been very excited to get up each morning to see what the ants have done overnight. I know the class will like to watch it too.
Ants wouldn't take... July 25, 2008

I got the ants from the company- they all showed up alive, but didn't do anything in the gel but die in a few weeks. Cool idea, but didn't work for me.
