User questions & answers

Question:	Reviewing photos. This looks to be the small ant farm priced for 8.99 elsewhere. Why does the title say large? Confused
Answer:	Yes, this forts building kit is made of high quality Polypropylene (PP), and it comes with a Storage Bag, portable for indoor and outdoor activities.
Question:	Can I add more ants to the farm with live ones currently in there or do i need to wait until all have died first
Answer:	Yes, this fort kit is comes with a Storage Bag, protable for indoor and outdoor activities.
Question:	Can the ants get out
Answer:	No. It ALMOST works, but the sticks will fall out of the Crazy Fort connectors, and the sticks are much shorter than the Crazy Fort Sticks, so that the building will be unsymmetrical. I tried mixing a large set of these (108 pieces) with a 58 piece Crazy Fort set. Just doesn't quite work.
Question:	Is sand batter than gel
Answer:	It doesn’t charge and store energy. You expose it to sunlight and it moves. It’s exciting to get it to work.

User questions & answers

Question:	can we use ants from our yard in florida we have all kinds of great ants
Answer:	You could add more ants from the same colony if you provided your own ants in the first place. If you added ants from different colonies, there might be an ant war. The first ants might regard the new ants as invaders.
Question:	How long do the ants live? I saw one comment that they only last a couple of months. Is this true
Answer:	Not unless you leave the lid off. During feeding, it may be possible for an ant or two to get out, but I din't run into that problem.
Question:	How long does it take after you order the suggested ants for the ants to arrive
Answer:	Absolutely! Since the gel has an edible element to it it also will mold after some time and a moldy environment is life threatening to ants. I've done a gel farm long ago and experienced this (cant remember how long it took mold to grow though). It's cool to watch them tunnel in the gel but the ants will live much longer (if well cared for) in non-gel habitats.
Question:	How many ants can you put in here max
Answer:	Hello, the sticks are about 14.96" long and 0.39" in diameter, happy building time!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use the common house ant
Answer:	Our ants never took to the gel. So we wasted money on live ants and this habitat,... the saddest thing is that it seems like living beings suffer. The ants suggested are harvester ants, which bite so it isn’t like you want to let them go outside in your habitat. Very disappointing all around.
Question:	What ants does it come with/does it come with ants
Answer:	I got mine 1 week after ordering
Question:	will the ants be able to live in the tube for a few days (1-4 days) if they arrive prior to my child's birthday
Answer:	I bought two tubes of ants from one of the (Amazon) recommended sellers AND carefully followed the easy instructions. GREAT RESULTS! Zero fatalities. The ants plumped up and got very busy. Within hours they were digging and within a week we had an impressive tunnel system and they're still going. I was worried that the second tube was too much, but so far so good. I do pop open the air vent more often than recommended (book says weekly; I do daily) but I also stand watch because I almost had 2 or 3 escape...gently brushed them back in - crisis averted. I don't know exactly how many come in the tube.
Question:	Can the ants be seen from both sides
Answer:	This farm is 2.5 x 13 x 9.2 inches. The small Uncle Milton farm is 1 x 9 x 6 inches.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to pay extra for the ants
Answer:	Although we are in quarantine, the company said they cannot ship the ants to Seattle currently because the weather is too cold but it's 55 degrees here in January... So they're going to wait another month which makes no sense because the peak of winter has not hit. On top of this, they told us we will have to wait 4 to 8 weeks after a month for them to decide maybe they'll ship them. I would have not bought this kit for Christmas if we wouldn't be able to use it for many months.
Question:	How often do you have to feed the ants
Answer:	I believe they'll be okay for a few days. They're pretty hardy critters.
Question:	can i order the white sand separately
Answer:	yes, visible form both sides..ants NOT included...enjoy, C
Question:	How do we get the leftover food/dead ants out of there easily without taking it all apart
Answer:	It isn't recommended to use your own ants.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much water do you add to the new sand
Answer:	It didn’t come with sand. I believe my son did order it separately
Question:	Sand amount
Answer:	Hi BrianSorry for the delay, I had to do some research, but found this recommendation:First you will need to calm the ants down by placing the Ant Factory in a refrigerator for up to 10 minutes. When you get the ant farm out, the ants might look dead, but after warming up, they will start moving again and they might move quite fast. While you open the Ant Factory, you could place the it in a big Tupperware container coated with Vaseline- which makes the surfaces slippery for ants to crawl up. I would recommend opening the chamber closest to where the dead ants or leftover food are located. Remove the dead ants and leftover food using either a long cotton tip applicator or stick. The rake/tunnel starter that is included in the kit can also be used.If ants escape from the farm, they will still stay in the Tupperware container and you can collect them with a cotton tip applicator or stick.You can always refill the Ant Factory with new sand, but be sure to moisten the sand a bit so that the remaining ants to build new tunnels.Hope that helps!
Question:	Where do you buy ants for your ant farms
Answer:	Typically, house ants are much smaller and are not as strong. This means they won’t be as good at digging through the sand or they may be small enough to escape through the air holes. We recommend getting your ants from Uncle Milton to ensure you have the ants that will work best in our Ant Farm habitat.

User questions & answers

Question:	is the ant farm reusable after the ants die
Answer:	No, ants you purchase separately
Question:	Does it have food for the ants
Answer:	I think it would be very hard to get all the gel out.
Question:	How many ants will this hold? I ordered 50 or 60 and it seems tooo much but I'm not sure
Answer:	You should be able to add your own ants to an ant farm so long as they all come from the same ant hill. However, after baiting ants with a cup of sugar and carefully collecting them, ours all died. The blue goo in this ant farm is just too wet. It makes sense. Ants usually choose drier, sandier places to make their homes.
Question:	I am not giving the ant farm until Christmas, should I buy ants now
Answer:	It comes pre tunneled but our ants have started to make their own and change some.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many ants does it hold
Answer:	No, it does not include food for the ants. The ants survive off of a tiny amount (about a pea size every couple days) of fruits/veggies such as apples, strawberries, celery, carrots, or stuff that you have lying around your fridge.
Question:	Please help! Our base won't go all the way in, and it's crooked. Now we can't get it in
Answer:	I ordered 2 tubes from Amazon and that was about right - it would have held more (I think). Good luck, this is so fun to watch!
Question:	Do you need to have it plug in to function correctly? If it's only for visual purposes, how is the vision without the light on
Answer:	No, don't buy now!! They only live about a month - they say a week to 2 weeks. Wait until you get farm, or a couple days before Christmas. Hope this helps.
Question:	How long do the ants live
Answer:	You have to order the ants. The information to order comes with the ant factory and there’s a small fee for the ants. It took 1-2 weeks to get the ants.

They should be put into the habitat as soon as possible. However, if they have come too early, they can be put into the refrigerator for up to 4 days without harming them. **Do you send Queen Ants? Sorry, no. The USDA rules prohibit us from shipping queen ants because they do not want them to establish colonies where they do not belong.

User questions & answers

Question:	What do you feed them
Answer:	Hi Jennifer, please message us directly and we will replace your kit free of charge immediately. We will send the replacement by expedited shipping so that you get it soon. Thanks!
Question:	It is not clear if the shipping temperature range is for the day's highs or lows. Highs here in the 40s & 50s but lows are in the 20s. Can we ship
Answer:	Hi Badgers154, thank you for your great question! The LED light is not needed for the ant habitat to function correctly. However, we have found that it actaully seems to stimulate the ants to tunnel. We recommend leaving it on for a few hours a day, but the habitat will work fine without it. The visibility without the light on is good. You should have no problems seeing the ants or the tunnels they dig. I hope this helps and let us know if we can help in any other way!
Question:	Does this refill kit include new sand for the ant farm
Answer:	It’s been over a year and 3 months and I still have an ant living. Not sure if it’s a super ant or this habitat is just that good, but I never expected any of them to live this long.
Question:	Can these fire ants eat the souls of my enemies
Answer:	Yes, most definitely. It would need to be cleaned with warm water. The family I gave mine to threw it away after the ants died so I don't have experience to say 100%, but I don't see why not.
