Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Ants are fascinating creatures and this habitat is the perfect way for kids to explore how they live, work and feed. Launched in 1956, the world-famous Uncle Milton Ant Farm has sold over 20 million units in the Unitied States. Fantastic educational fun for kids as they can watch the ant "engineers" dig a myriad of interconnecting chambers and tunnels. You can even connect up a series of ant farms using the clear plastic tubing which is included in the pack. The habitat is easy to set up and then we encourage children to harvest their own ants from the garden. Alternatively you can mail-order a European ant species from a laboratory using the enclosed coupon (there is a p&p charge for this service).The 23 x 15cm habitat comes in four assorted colours.

3.0 out of 5 stars Educational, but not interesting for long., 6 Sep 2008
By Prof TBun (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Firstly, you should choose Ant World over this product. The price is the same, but Ant World gives you more for your money.

Note that ants are not available in the winter, so this isn't a great christmas present.

Collecting ants for a farm is easy. Leave a little jam outside a dish for a couple of hours and the ants will have homed in on it.

I found some of the breathing holes were too large and ants started to escape. A little sellotape and a needle soon cured the problem. Ant farms are more fun when connected together with the tubes provided. All the farms on the market conveniently use the same diameter tubes.

Ants farms are a better choice than worms, because they will tolerate some light, they work faster and have a wider range of behaviour.

5.0 out of 5 stars ant farm magic, 1 Jul 2007
By John Mackenzie "african ant" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I was given an ant farm when I was around 8 years old. That was in the 1950's!! It was THE BEST present I have ever had and it gave me so much fun watching the ants at work. I have NEVER FORGOTTEN it.
Now I am buying one for my granddaughter. Thankfully, this old fashioned amusement has not been digitalised or made to make noise.
Highly recommended as a gift. Also, see if you can buy a worm farm. It is along the same lines, excepting that worms move more slowly!
