The original Ant Farm® is perfect for budding Myrmecologists of all ages!

For 50 years ants have thrived in Uncle Milton Ant Farms. Watch the world’s tiniest engineers dig tunnels, build roads and erect bridges. See them plan and construct highways and subways—moving mountains right before your eyes! It’s a fascinating peek into the secret world of ants. The Uncle Milton Ant Farm® features “slim” styling that makes your ant tunnels visible for easy, complete viewing.

Following a 50 year tradition, the Ant Farm® habitat uses the included supply of clean sand as the tunneling medium. Sand is the natural habitat for ants and is the best choice to promote active tunneling by your colony members. The Ant Farm® includes ordering information to receive a supply of live ants by mail.*

The original Ant Farm® is particularly well suited for “up close” observation and study in almost any educational environment. In fact, Ant Farm® ant habitats can be found in classrooms throughout the world, from nursery school to college!

Students who study ant colonies soon discover that ant habitats are far more than a mere toy. An active ant habitat will provide a continuous stream of object lessons as it is a miniature reflection of our own human civilizations. You and your students may be amazed just how much you can learn from the humble ant…
• Ants have leaders and followers, just like humans do.
• Some ants are adventurous and bold while others are more timid and shy. Can you spot the fearless explorers?
• Some ants understand the importance of cooperation while others seem to bumble around getting in everyone’s way, slowing down the work wherever they go.
• Some ants are hard workers while others seem to hardly ever work.
• Some ants don’t seem to understand the notion of “quitting” carrying huge loads up steep tunnels and hills. When they overbalance and fall down, they invariably get up and try again and again.

While ants are among the easiest “pets” in the world to care for, they are also among the most fascinating creatures you will ever observe. Experience this fascinating timeless classic for the first time or all over again and get a peek into the amazing underground world of the ant.

Suitable for ages 6+, adult assistance recommended.

Feature Your Benefit
Tip Resistant… The broad base of the Ant Farm® habitat provides a stable, tip resistant base. It is much easier to enjoy the excitement of young ant watchers when you don’t have to worry about a slight bump knocking the habitat over.
Escape Proof… The locking cover of the Ant Farm® habitat is equipped with tiny air holes that are far too small to allow a Harvester ant to pass through. In the event you use your Original Ant Farm® habitat to house a smaller species of ant, you will need to seal off the holes with clear tape or another suitable material. (If the habitat is sealed to house small ants, opening the cover for a minute or so every few days will provide your ants with adequate fresh air.)
Break Resistant… Made of durable impact resistant plastic, the Ant Farm® habitat will provide many hours of fun and entertainment.
Clean tunneling sand… Sand is a completely natural environment for your ants and will promote active tunneling. No waiting for 24 to 48 hours while your ants adapt to an unfamiliar environment.
Antway™ Connector & Tubing… The original Ant Farm® allows you to add additional living space to accommodate your ant colony as it grows. This is particularly important if you gather a large number of workers from a local colony or if you create a self perpetuating colony that includes a Queen.
Live Ant Viewer… Children learn to study and appreciate ants without having to confine or harm them. The Original Ant Farm® is a remarkable tool for teaching appreciation for all life.
