Bring out the artistic talents of your Ants!
Rainbow Ants is brought to you by the creators of the popular AntWorks® gel habitats. In a radical departure from the gel habitats that made AntWorks® famous, the Rainbow Ants is a sand filled habitat unlike anything you have ever seen.
You prepare the canvas, then watch your ants create the art!
Your Rainbow Ants habitat comes with five packets of brightly colored sand. Simply pour the colored sand into the transparent habitat in any order you choose. You can keep each vibrant color layer separate, overlap the colors for endless variety, or repeat your color pattern to create a recurring theme. You create the colorful canvas in which your ants will excavate their unique tunnel art.
The Rainbow Ants habitat includes instructions for adding the special colored sand, moistening the sand to create a stable tunneling environment, tips for adding your ants* and even ant feeding suggestions.
Learning made fun!
If you are looking for an ant habitat that is educational, teaches responsibility, and will really engage your youngster, you need to seriously consider the Rainbow Ants habitat. Unlike gel filled habitats that are primarily a passive experience, the Rainbow Ants habitat requires active participation in its setup and ongoing maintenance for the life of the colony. Unlike traditional sand filled habitats, the colorful sand of the Rainbow Ant habitat promotes creative expression in its setup and invites imaginative interpretation in the ongoing observation. Since the Rainbow Ants habitat requires regular feeding and watering of the ants in order to maintain a healthy colony, it helps teach personal responsibility.
Secure cat proof lid for your peace of mind.
Due to the sand fill tunneling medium, the Rainbow Ants habitat is not designed for tipping, shaking or other movement after your ants start tunneling. The fact is, excessive movement or vibration will collapse the tunnels in any sand filled habitat. However, pets being pets and kids being kids, its nice to know the Rainbow Ants habitat features the secure “cat proof” closure system used on all AntWorks® habitats. Even if the unthinkable happens, and your Rainbow Ants habitat gets tipped on its side, the top will stay securely in place thanks to the compressible rubber seal integrated into the lid.
While the Rainbow Ants habitat does not ship with ants, it does include an order form to receive a supply of live Harvester ants by mail.* For the more adventurous, you can gather your own ants to populate your Rainbow Ants habitat.
Suitable for ages 6+, adult assistance recommended.

Feature | Your Benefit | |
|
| Colorful 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. | |
|
| Tip Resistant… | • The curved shape of the Rainbow Ants habitat provides a stable, tip resistant base. | |
|
| Break Resistant… | • The Rainbow Ants habitat is made of durable high impact plastic to prevent breakage and the subsequent escape of your ant colony. | |
|
| Escape Proof… | • The cat proof cover of the Rainbow Ants habitat is equipped with two tiny air holes that are far too small to allow a Harvester ant to pass through. In the event you use your Rainbow Ants habitat to house a smaller species of ant, simply close off the hole with a small piece of clear tape. | |
|
| Live Ant Viewer… | • Children learn to study and appreciate ants without having to confine or harm them. The Rainbow Ants habitat is a remarkable tool for teaching appreciation for all life. | |
