Uncle Milton's Ant Farm Gel Colony

For 50 years ants have thrived in Uncle Milton Ant Farms. In 2006, Uncle Milton entered the space age with their futuristic Ant Farm® brand Gel Colony™ and have made ant watching easier and more fun than ever!

Maintenance Free… The sleek Gel Colony™ is made of transparent polycarbonate which is highly durable as well as beautiful. Filled with lime colored translucent nutrient gel, the Gel Colony™ contains everything you need to promote a healthy ant colony. (All you add is the ants.) The Ant Farm® Gel Colony™ even includes an order form to receive a supply of live ants by mail.* There is no need to add any supplemental food or water as the gel provides a perfectly balanced diet for your ants as well as an amazing 3 dimensional tunneling environment. While they have always been easy to care for, now you can enjoy the first truly maintenance free Ant Farm®!

Hours of Fascinating Viewing… Unlike traditional sand filled Ant Farms, the Gel Colony™ is completely translucent, giving you a full 3 dimensional view of the tunnels your ants construct. The nature of the gel produces multifaceted tunnel walls as your ants excavate their passageways, one bite at a time. The resulting 3 dimensional tunnels are a remarkable work of art created by some of nature’s smallest sculptors.

Learn & Grow… The Gel Colony™ makes a great Science Fair project, especially if you are prepared to undertake the adventure of capturing ants from a local colony. Capture a Queen and your Gel Colony™ can be self sustaining, displaying the entire life cycle of the individual ant and providing a study of their interdependent culture.

Suitable for ages 6+, adult assistance recommended.
