I was looking for a simple pet to add to the family. We had fish keep for they were too much work.....We tried a bird......I reflect we returned it the third time due to our cat. Hamsters smell....Dogs are too much work, etc. etc. etc. At that time I thought of an ant farm...perfect!! They are little mantinence and my son loves them. He is only 2 keep for he loves watching them...even kisses their little dome and says bye and goodnight. It is really neat to watch the ants make their little tunnels and bring sand way up from the bottom to the ramps and bmx playground. I'm certain it is educational for him to watch how they thrive, and as he gets older he will be capable to gather even more about them. And I don't have to listen to a single bark or chirp....and of way there is no mess!! Yay. I recommend this product ended the other boring ant farms, and who can resist persons ants on skateboards....

This is the biggest piece of junk I've always owned It took almost 5 weeks to get the ants - then they were exhausted. I called to get more and the Uncle Milton customer benefit broadcast were extremely rude. Some calculate ago I irrevocably got the ants, they by no means did dig the way I expected. Don't dissipate your cash.

We bought this for our 4 time old son for Christmas last time, because he LOVES bugs. After you buy the ant cultivate on the diplomacy form for the ants it says with the intention of they will not craft the ants except it is lukewarm ample. If we would be inflicted with renowned this before to export it we would be inflicted with bought it in the jump. Our ants did not arrive in anticipation of Development! A few living after Christmas our 2 time old daugther knocked it off our son's dresser and ruined the large dome. I e-mailed Uncle Milton asking if I may possibly buy a additional dome three era with no rejoinder! So I tried to call their consumer benefit outline and was by no means competent to have a discussion to a genuine nature. My husband finally glued it in trade together. It wasn't sweet but it worked. As the ants finally came my son loved it and would watch the ants tunnel and reside in provisions for at least a half an hour or extra at a calculate. As the ants died we just got extra early our crumb. Just get on to guaranteed and pick only ants with the intention of are large ample not to go through the outlet holes. While my son loved the ant cultivate the total lack of consumer benefit will care for me early purchasing a additional Uncle Milton toy.

I ordered this ant farm for my grandchildren in July. The ants came the middle of August and they were all exhausted. They replaced the ants and I put them into the farm. The next day my Granddaughter started screaming that something bit her. I looked and there were red ants all over the stump and table. They had gotten out thru the air holes at the underside. The company replaced the farm and the same thing happened over again only this calculate I had positioned the farm on a paper on a table so as they got out they could not get out from below the farm. I cannot get my money back because it is over the 30 day guarantee. I didn't get the initially ants until with the 30 days. Do not buy this toy unless you want a huge disappointment and a big mess.

I formerly had bought this to keep the outcome I watch caught up in the creativeness of this facinating planet....the heck with the kid...I am so caught up with this new planet that I can't focus on my day after day task. It's a new planet everyday in the surroundings, relentless changes are compelling house day after day. These modest guys are honest staff....and really amazing to watch.

Initially of all, I've ordered ants several era. The warning label does display they can bite keep for they are not fire ants - the fiece ones from the South. Not all red ants are fire ants. (Check your ant encyclopedia.) All ants can bite rumor has it with the intention of, and it's just a warning so you don't soubriquet them too much and Uncle Milty covers himself liability-wise. I've never been bitten by any ant, and I've handled hundreds as a child and an adult....Second, reflect about it...how could possibly ants live in a box on a ridge in a toy store for months and months? Of way you have to peacefulness them. However, who wouldn't be disappointed to find they don't ship ants in cold months, and, it should be on the box somewhere with the intention of this is true...it would keep kids disappointment. It makes sense, once you find this made known, of way, keep for a little description goes a long way.Third, the ant farm, if you follow directions, works really well, keep for I find the little one too confining, so I string two collectively....

I approved this for my son's 6th birthday. I knew from encounter that we had to order the ants and wait for a spell of good ride out for them to turn up. Here's what worked for me: I opened the box when I got it and sent for the ants right away. (FYI: to order a tube of ants, and not anything else, it's $3.95. That includes shipping. To get the ant farm club kit, which includes ants, food, a magnifying glass, and a bunch of other fun stuff, it costs $10.95. That includes shipping as well. I unbendable to go on a bender for the club kit!) The ants at home about a week after his birthday. He was exceptionally excited to get them! While the ants waited in the fridge for ten outline, I put the sand/water amalgamation in the ant farm. I put in a few drops of sugar water and then shook the ants in from the tube. While surveillance the ants grow accustomed to their new-found space, I unbendable I'd count. I think there were 29 ants in the tube (plus a few spare body parts---YUCK). I counted about 19 of them income. A few of them died that first day, but now I think we have about 13 live ants. That's bounty for the small modest space. I think I've had more fun surveillance them than the kids. It's awe-inspiring to see them grab the sand and move it everyplace else to make a tunnel. They're actually fun! I plan to order more ants after these ones die. (The order form was conveniently shipped with the ants.)Buy with confidence! This is a GREAT gift.

This is a great toy! My son expected this for his 6th birthday last year. The voucher to send away for your ants is built-in, and they at home sweet promptly. Though, by the time they at home in the mail, last October, we had misplaced the directions on what to do when they got here. I emailed the consumer help broadcast (info at unclemilton dot com) and they promptly emailed us back some basic directions, which got us going. Looking at the tube, we did not see a hyperactive, angry mob of hurried ants as we probable. Very, they were all sweet quiet. Too quiet. We tipped them into the ant surroundings, and they lay there in a heap. Two eventually struggled to their feet and staggered almost a bit and drank some water. We phoned Uncle Milton, and the consumer help folks at Uncle Milton were great. It's very near like discussion to actors in character since they seem to actually care about their ants and even anthropomorphize them a bit. Could they actually love the ants this much? I couldn't tell for sure, but they sure were influential. Anyhow, they told us that now and again the ants are a bit lethargic at first, but to give them 12 hours. If they were indeed dead, then the income ants would "see to their funeral." Twelve hours later, it was sweet clear that most of them were dead. The two income ants moved all the dead ants into a pile in the center of the inner part of the surroundings, then they themselves expired before long thereafter. We rang the folks at Uncle Milton back up, and they were exceptionally caring about our ants having "voted for away." (I just love these broadcast.) They sent us a voucher to order a new tube of ants.Fast forwards six months and we got almost to ordering a new tube of ants. They at home a few days ago. (Uncle Milton only ships fastidious times of the year, and they check the ride out reports for the route before to they ship.) These ants were all alive and committed. We stunned them with a 15 little visit to the refrigerator then dumped them in the surroundings and they set to work reshaping the landscape, after an early mix-up over the rock climbing wall (they all piled up at the underneath for a bit, but figured their way out soon ample). They moved the dead pile of ants from the first batch to the BMX biking arena (the lower portion down the road). This area we have termed "the mortuary." About twice a day they might move half of the ants almost in here, I don't know from one channel between the motocross jumps to a additional, or bury them with sand and then unbury them. Most of the dead ants are kept down here. Two are kept in the upper part of the surroundings and moved almost very near endlessly, to some extent like the Olympic torch.Of way, you need to read all the in rank and never let your kids touch the ants. (You doubtless don't want to any.) My kids (ages 4 and 6) are actually good now and won't try to carry the ant farm almost, even if the 4-year old did carry it once when we first got it and expected a address about how it would make the ants carsick to be moved almost like that. We just leave it on the kitchen island for all to watch and enjoy. I don't think you need to send away for any of their extra things, like food. They are happy with a few drops of water, plus a tiny crumb of bread damp with water, a pinhead-size piece of apple or other fruit, a tiny bit of hard-boiled egg white, a drop of honey mixed with water, a release dead fly, or a tiny piece of hamburger. They don't need much.They are bringing us much enjoyment. We love to go back and check-up on them and see what they've been doing, or stay on one ant's actions for a while. It's funny when one ant is on some sort of mission ("must carry this piece of sand downhill") and a additional ant bumps into him, he seems to not dredge up where he was going or what he was doing, drops his sand and starts on a uncommon scheme. Then, of way, there's Flik's tunnel surrounded by a tunnel scheme...

We purchased this ant farm a few months ago. It is really cute. It has a skate park, street luge and bicycle park. It also has two built in magnifying glasses. The ants have alot of room to roam. We did not have any tribulations with the ants escaping. You just have to be sure to follow the directions for putting it together accurately. It did take a link of months for the ants to turn up which took away from the initial excitement when we purchased this toy and some of the ants were dead when they arrived (we live in Ohio and they were shipped from California). Our ants lived for a few months but now they are all gone. We don't really want to order more from this companionship and wait two more months. This is an eternity to the kids. It would be nice if there were an easier way to get the ants. Also you have to order the kit which includes ants, food, dropper for fill up, education booklet and poster of the ants anatomy.

My daughter recv'd this Ant farm on her 5th B-day. We approved the ants, sorry to say they came when we were away on trip. In the end all were dead. I called the companionship and they resent more ants free of payment. We got our new ants surrounded by 2 weeks. I categorically just love surveillance them (Maybe more than my kids). I also have a 3 year old. It is so appealing and such a culture encounter. They are so maitenance free. I definately urge this ant farm.. It is appealing and fun. The ants are very shared creatures. I also purchased the whole kit. It has many appealing things to learn in it. A+
