The largest viewing area of any Ant Farm® habitat! Perfect for classrooms!
For 50 years ants have thrived in Uncle Milton Ant Farms. With the Uncle Milton’s Giant Ant Farm® your ant colony now has more room than ever to spread out and grow. 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. Based on the original Uncle Milton Ant Farm® the Giant Ant Farm® retains the “slim” styling that makes your ant tunnels visible for easy, complete viewing.
Following a 50 year tradition, the Giant Ant Farm® 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 Giant Ant Farm® includes an order form to receive a supply of live ants by mail.*
The Giant Ant Farm® is particularly well suited to observation and study whether in the classroom or in the home. 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.
Suitable for ages 6+, adult assistance recommended.

Your Benefit
Largest Viewing Area…
With the Uncle Milton’s Giant Ant Farm® your ant colony now has more room than ever to spread out and grow, providing an unsurpassed observational and learning experience.
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.
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 Giant 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.)
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.
Break Resistant…
Made of durable impact resistant plastic, the Giant Ant Farm® will provide countless hours of fun and entertainment.
Live Ant Viewer…
Children learn to study and appreciate ants without having to confine or harm them. The Giant Ant Farm® is a remarkable tool for teaching appreciation for all life.

Uncle Miltons Giant Ant Farm
Overall pleased with purchase. The holes up on top are too small, it is very difficult to get in and clean dead ants and other left over food. Any suggestions?
