Fascinations Antworks

From the Manufacturer
AntWorks is a fantastic ant farm, based upon a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space and test how ants successfully tunnel in microgravity. Children and adults both enjoy watching these little creatures tunnel around in the nutrient-enriched, blue translucent gel. Best of all, the ants require no food or water, because it’s all in the gel.
Product Description
Fascinations Antworks is the first and only ant habitat to be tested in zero gravity. It provides a total ecosystem for ants and uses a non-toxic blue gel which makes it easy to watch the ants digging their network of tunnels. It includes container, ant catcher, magnifier and activity guide.

COOOOL
Every one in the family loves it. Quite interesting to see these ants working so hard. I ordered mine in April from NJ and the outside temperature was perfect for getting the ants…

This is a great farm!
The Antworks ant farm is awesome! We are studying ants for science and I read a lot of bad reviews for other farms.

Great class project!
I am using this in my second grade class for social studies (communities) and science. The students are very interested and interactive with the ant farm.

Cool antfarm, lousy company
Bought this habitat and ordered my ants from a VERY cheap high-supply company on ebay. The gel ant farm is a really cool idea, and it has been very interesting watching my ants do…

All my children ages 3 6 and 8 including mom and dad were fascinated with the ant farm. My kids spent hours looking at the ants.

Ants do nothing, just sit there
The ants burrowed a large hole in side of “ant farm” and they just sit there and hardly move. They are still alive but they do nothing in this ant farm.

Disposable
I bought one of these and ordered the ants from the website. It was pretty interesting for a while; the ants made tunnels just like in the picture.

first ant farm that works!
I bought this at an insect museum last week for my 8 and 5 year old boys. Ordered the ants the same day and they arrived, very healthy and active, in one week.
