I bought this for my 2 year old twin girls as they are starting to get interested in bugs. We caught some ants and put them in the column. At first they didn't do much. It took several days before the ants started digging, but now we have several really great tunnels and the ants are doing well. This item is very durable and holds up to twin toddlers dropping it and shaking it (yes, those poor ants!) It's great to see the ants at work, but be sure to read the directions carefully you don't want to mix ants unless you want to see an ant war. Either way, it's a great item and well worth the money.Best Deals for Ant Column - Cylinder Ant Farm and Habitat
This is very small, in fact a lot smaller than I thought. It worked out well though. I ordered this in May and put 5 ants in it from outside (all from the same colony). It's now the beginning of October and there are STILL 2 ants remaining. I let one of my students take it home for the summer and they ended up mixing ants from another colony in the ant farm. It was war, from what I heard. The family believes the two ants that are left are from the original colony.My favorite thing about the ant farm is that it is small enough for the children to hold and the cap has to be twisted off. My kiddos are old enough to know we don't take off the lid. Although, I take it off a few times a week to give them fresh air. The ants have made all these great tunnels and the kids LOVE looking at it. Not bad for ten bucks.
