Grand daughter was fascinated. Recommend covered with black paper when not being observed

Order arrived couple of days earlier than expected. Queen ant healthy with 9 workers and eggs. Farm is great size for ants to grow colony and nice accessories. Difficult part was getting sand damp throughout and would advise adding a few drops of water every 2-3 inches added as adding water after filled was difficult. Overall very happy with purchase and ants moved into new home within 30 minutes with first chamber made within 12 hrs. Would buy again if needed.

This is a good starter kit. Everything came as described, and it's great to be able to start a colony so easily with everything you need in one box.I'd slightly question the design of the formicarium. It's great that you can see all the tunnels made by the ants, but ants, and especially queens, shy away from the light and prefer the darkness found under the ground. To simulate this, most of the time we have a sheet of card on either side of the 'underground' division of the formicarium.I'd also question the price. I think this is very expensive for what you get, which is essentially some sand, some ants, and a small plastic box that a 15 year old could probably make in a materials class at school. But then, it is quite an unusual and specialist piece of equipment, so I suppose that justifies the price to some extent. If you are at all crafty, I'd recommend having a go at making a formicarium yourself, finding some sand, and finding a queen or buying one online for much less than this.Finally I'd add that the instructions are quite poorly translated, amusing so, but also often confusing. You can find better ant care advice online.

This box contains everything you need to get started. The ants seem really happy and healthy. I love having them!I had a few questions for the seller which were answered quickly. Great service and I would happily buy from them again!

The acrylic is blurry and not clear so it’s hard to see the ants. The acrylic also arrived with pen marks and some scratched so it didn’t seem to be in good condition, I feel like I recieved a second hand product.There is also not enough sand, so a huge gap is left between the sand and the surface.

Ants arrived in good shape with the queen very much alive and healthy, the worker ants are doing well also. The enclosure is very well made and my son is really happy with this, no gaps for escapee ants to find. :)
