Pros & Cons
Pros
The most common ant farm seems to be the uncle milton one, along with brands that seem identical to uncle milton(probably just a relabel) the geosafari ant farm has 3 feeding holes, which makes it easier if you are trying to spread water to the whole ... Read More
It’s fascinating & gets the whole family watching the tunnels form. This is great for classrooms and observing at home. Instructions are clear and it is amazing to watch the day to day activities of our ants.
Play sand is moist & easy to manipulate for the ants. You can clean the habitat and put in fresh sand and reuse it. One con about this product is it's difficult to moisten the sand.
Cons
Ants are very aggressive and can inflict painful stings in a surprisingly short period of time, can cause quite a bit of pain for up to four hours, and they are very pugnacious with a most painful sting. I got stung and have severe allergic reactions ... Read More
The design of this ant farm is impractical. No sand and no coupon to be found. The ants are not sturdy at all.
The box was broken (torn) and obviously worn. There were smudges on the glass. There is a painted graphic on the top which blocks the view from one side. The lids were so cheap that a second of the three lids broke and did not close.
Highlights
Quality
Fun to set up & a gr8 educational tool
This works well, it’s easy to feed the ants from the top it.
The victor's got straight to work they moved the bodies and started can i meet your help making their maze.
Warning: the type of ants they send can sting you and the sting is more painful than a bee sting.
Price
Still, they were affordable and much loved.
Of the ants die, for whatever reason, it is easy and inexpensive to order more.
The factory comes with a voucher to order ants- but you have to pay $4-$5 for the ants and they come in a little tube in the mail.
Shipping
The ants arrived safely in the mail and quickly set about building their colony.
Delivery was over thanksgiving holiday and we were not home to receive immediately.
Contacted company and they sent two tubes of live ants very quickly.
The coupon is for free shipping for the ants.
Packaging/appearance
It also comes with a booklet that tells you exactly what to do and how to do it and also gives some interesting information on ants!
The box did come damage but everything i need was included.
I didn’t notice if an ant coupon came with because my children opened the package and i’m going to catch wild ones anyway.
Competitiveness
Perhaps the manufacturer of the ant farm should consider a different type of ant.

Oh and i completely saturated in the sand and then let it drain it only put sand in the bottom fill it up and then shake it a bit after you wet it cuz they carry the sand to the top on their own to create the tunnels
