Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
It's ok I spent $30 for this thing for my son and he only used it for bout a week it got broken someone (after we got it) it's best to get something much bigger
Everything was as described. Great for kids. It can be a bit hard to get the ants in if you put them in the top but if you use the little dish that’s connected to the tube it’s a bit easier.
This was a Christmas present, for my 7 year old nephew. the box arrived in perfect condition, however the bag of sand was not sealed and all the sand had spilled out and I was only left a small amount in bag and box, present is ruined, there looked to no attempt of the bag being properly sealed…
I bought this ant farm for my son after initially buying a gel based one for twice the price that I sent back. This one was much better in terms of suitability. I later learned that ants prefer the dark to build tunnels therefore the included screens help. Otherwise they won’t dig up to the edge of the screen affecting the ability to view them
The included tube and magnifying box is great to use as an easy access way to add a wet tissue for water and add food.
Lastly, as I read another review the company was helpful in supplying extra tube and magnifying box which can be used to extend the kit by chaining two magnifying boxes together. The company is now called playmonster and indeed after dropping them an email they were really helpful in supplying spares. Unusual to get such a helpful company these days. If you’d like to have a go at starting an ant farm this seems a great and economical start. I would recommend doing some background research though, but the included booklet is actually very useful and informative. A great set overall.
Bought this as a gift, was fiddly to put together but once it was the children loved It, although.... warning here if you don't want your kids to be traumatised by carnage.... COLLECT THE ANTS FROM THE SAME COLONY! A lesson learnt here after what we witnessed to be an ant version of game of thrones! It wasn't pretty, there were heads flying off all over the place, and little bodies laying still whilst being trampled on.. it was an event we will relive forever !
After we buried the ants... yes, you read it right.. BURIED THE ANTS.. (this is what my life has come to) we started again.. 8 ants taken from 1 COLONY (sorry queen but they work for us now) it was all good, we haven't witnessed any tunnels yet but they're transporting dirt and food from one side of the tank to the other... which is quite mesmerising to watch!
