This not only fascinates my niece, but also her 2-year-old sister. It seems to be a good stem project for preschoolers since we are all in the pandemic lockdown. It's seriously so fun to come home every day and check to see what they're working on!
This is a nice little habitat for them, i really like that you don't have to feed or water them, so convenient. The supplier responded very quickly and sent me a new habitat with fresh gel.
Cons
The ants fall and crawl down the sides and then can't climb back up! The barely tunneled at all, like one half inch tunnel. You get a coupon but it's only like a $1 or $2 discounts. Do not buy.
Purchase a packet of gel refill. Scrape out the current gel. It seems strange to have excessive humidity during the winter when the rest of us are using lip balm and lotion like crazy.

So much better than old ant farms where a little movement will collapse the tunnels.
They started tunneling within 2 days of putting them into the farm.
It might be a bit gruesome to some but they clean up and bury their own dead under the bits of gel that they dig up.
Shipping
These pictures were taken on day 2.
It was a bit odd getting ants in the mail since you do have to send away for them, and of course a few didn’t make it along the way.
