      Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2025
      Verified Purchase
      My son absolutely loving it, and honestly, so am I! The setup was ridiculously easy – like, two minutes tops and you're good to go. It comes with a few pieces, but nothing complicated at all. Huge win for busy parents like me!

      What's really cool is the massive window. Seriously, it makes all the difference. My little guy isn't just using it for ants (though we did try that!). He's been fascinated by putting in rolly pollies and other little backyard explorers. And because the window is so big and clear, we can actually see what they're doing – digging tunnels, moving stuff around. It's way more engaging than I even expected. Plus, it comes with sand, which is super convenient.

      Honestly, I didn't even realize how much he was learning until we started watching together. We talk about how the bugs move, where they go, what they're doing. It's become this unexpected little science lesson that's actually fun! If you're looking for something that's not only entertaining but also sneakily educational, and a great way to bond with your kiddo, you NEED this. It's sturdy, super easy to get going, and provides hours of fascinating observation. Totally worth it! 👍

      We got this for our 4yo son for Christmas and he LOVES IT! He likes to make different “scenes” for them and checks on them multiple times a day. This is what the farm looks like after 1 week.

      After reading some reviews saying the ants could get out the port holes, I put electrical tape around the whole thing. This probably wasn’t necessary, but it makes me feel more comfortable having a bunch of live ants in our house. 🥴

      Overall I highly recommend for young kids. It’s good quality and has brought a lot of joy to our young kids!

      1.0 out of 5 stars Ants died within hours
      Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024
      Verified Purchase
      Received this gift and followed the instructions for transferring ants into habitat. Took them right out of the package when they were delivered, put them in the fridge to calm them down, and poured them in. The ants started digging and making tunnels within 30 minutes. After about 2 hours they started slowing down a lot. Within the next hour, they were all dead. I reached out to the company we got the ants from and got no response. To my surprise, when I returned from a weekend getaway and checked my mail, I saw the ants.

      The company had seen my complaint I sent them about the ants dying. Instead of responding and letting me know that they were going to send more they just sent them. The problem with that is when they send the ants, you have to open the package immediately otherwise, the ants will die. You would think the company would let you know before sending more so you can be prepared.

      All the ants of course were dead when I opened the package because they got delivered Friday when I was gone and I opened the package as soon as I got home Sunday. I just through away the habitat because it was becoming a headache and my son was super disappointed. This was a birthday gift for him and he was so excited to watch the ants.

      Overall, I would say it's not worth the headache. I read other reviews and it seemed to be mixed on the ants living so I took a shot...I should have listened to the other people lol.

      The product was well made and included the sand which was a bonus. It also has holes which allows you to add more farms to it as the colony grows. My daughter loves it as it gives you a great view of the colony as it expands.

      Bought as a birthday present and when we came to order the ants it says that they can only be ordered if you live in the USA. Went online to see if you could buy the ants elsewhere separately and they were over £50! Not sure if you can use normal garden ants but the information says you need harvester ants. Had to return will order the cheaper one that’s UK based
