La estructura no es de muy buena calidad, bastante simple para el precio, no incluye la arena, fue una decepción esta compra

No incluye nada, nisiquiera la arena, esta muy mal pra el precio que tiene

The ants are happy and so is my child.

Esta increíble solo que no traía arena

Todo bien

We have had this ant farm for two weeks so far and we love it! The ants are happy and healthy and we can see the tunnels beautifully. I do like the idea of sand better than gel because you can clean the habitat and put in fresh sand and reuse it after your first round of ants dies off. Plus you get to feed the ants, and giving animals food and water is part of caretaking! So far, watermelon and lettuce have been a bust and apple and bread have been a hit.The habitat is well made and sturdy, and I have had no problems with escapes or stings.Lots of people have differing advice about how to put the ants in the ant farm, so I will share here exactly what worked for us.I carefully read all of the ant reviews, as well as the reviews for this habitat in particular, and kept the ants in the fridge until they weren't moving. For me, that was 35 minutes. They don't have much mass so they warm up quickly, and when I brought them out and checked them at 20 minutes they got so warm they woke up completely and thus the second 15 minutes.The paper that comes with the ant farm says you can't refrigerate them for more than 10 minutes or they'll die, but the information for the ants says that you can keep them in the fridge for up to four days. So you decide!Having read and re-read all of the reviews, I saw so many mentions of stings and ants escaping, I came up with a MASTER PLAN. I placed the ant farm in the BATHTUB before I opened the vial to tip them into the paper funnel.I also wore thick leather gardening gloves (which I would recommend).Everything everyone says about them crawling up the paper funnel is true. Also, they wake up at different times. There's definitely a delay between the first ant starting to stir and climbing out of the vial and the last.VIAL #1I made the paper funnel long and tall and jammed it all the way down (making sure it was wide enough at the narrow end that they could still get through it) and even put tape on the side so it would keep its shape. But having to bounce the funnel up and down to knock down the ants that were climbing up destroyed the opening at the narrow end, and they couldn't get out it anymore. So it didn't really work out!I would not do this on your kitchen table. You will definitely get angry stinging ants everywhere.In messing around with the funnel I noted that the few ants that fell into the tub couldn't climb its walls. So I felt safe (and, besides, should things really go south I could always turn on the bathtub faucet and dispose of them in an epic flood... but they couldn't climb the walls and that wasn't necessary).VIAL #2Ultimately I dispensed with the paper funnel idea and had my leather gloves and the vial and the ant-farm-in-bathtub setup, and just took off the cap and tipped and tapped them straight into the habitat opening.The ants that fell outside the habitat ran around my bathtub merrily and I scooped them up one at a time at my leisure using the tip of the vial, and then tapped them from the vial into the opening. Every once in a while I would switch to a different opening, so that they were dispersed evenly. I always kept the other two openings firmly shut.Having them run around harmlessly was easy. I could take my time and my almost-five year old could stand outside the tub and watch from a safe distance. I don't know if everyone's bathtub would work as well, but I thought I'd pass the suggestion along. For us, it was definitely a success!This is a great habitat and wonderful homeschool project. Note that doing this in Spring or Autumn is best, because of the temperature restrictions on shipping live ants. It's also easier to find playground sand when it's not Winter. So I wouldn't suggest this is a a Christmas gift!

Please I demand a replacement for the defect itme recieved in 7 October 2020.The bottom blue plastic part is missing, its an important part to isolate the sand and ants.

This ant farm is well-designed and much easier to use than many others on the market. Instructions for pre-filling the farm with soil and moisture are included and easy to follow. It is easy to drop ants and pupae into the top section and then sit back and watch the ants excavate their tunnels and create their new home over the following weeks. You obviously need to first find out what food source your particular ant species likes and provide it on a regular basis.

Muy bien

La ilustración hace suponer que el hormiguero incluye la arena. De hecho, en las páginas que he consultado se informa que cuando uno compra un kit de hormigas, deben incluir la arena. Este juguete me parece demasiado caro al no incluir ni la arena, ni una clara explicación de cómo conseguir las hormigas.

The product is good but there is not enough information to have clear that if you leave out of US or Canada they will not send you the ants :/If I would know that wouldn’t buy it

Nadamas es un tablero super X, no te incluye la arena, muy pequeño, es muy caro para lo que es, no lo recomiendo.

The ants are vicious! Make sure that you keep them in the fridge as directed- I felt bad and took them out a bit early... they are super tough little guys and are fearless. Once they're all in though, VERY cool letting them work! Hard to clean out old food though.
