My 7yr old and 3yr old love watching them, and so do I! We've only had it for about a week and I imagine the ants will only live for a few months, but for now it's been a lot of fun to check in on their progress throughout the day. **** Two months have passed and I'm writing a follow-up. The ants dug some incredible tunnels for many weeks and it was lots of fun to watch. Eventually the ants started to die, as expected, but what we didn't expect is that the live ants abandoned the tunnels where the dead ants were and for some reason also stopped digging new tunnels. For the past three weeks or so all of the living ants (maybe 15 out of the 30 original ones) just stayed at the top of the gel and basically tried to get out by gnawing on the sealant on the lid. It was obvious they were never going to get through, but all the same it got kind of depressing as they slowly died out. We decided we'd bring the ant farm outside and take off the lid to let the remaining live ones escape. We will probably try to rinse out the tunnels and see if we can get out all the dead ants then maybe order some new ones, but now we know that the lively lifespan of the ant farm is only about a month. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great pets *by T***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on March 10, 2014* This was a birthday gift that was a hit for our 3 year old. We bought harvester ants and put them in and they went to work fast. It was a lot of fun to watch. When we needed to open the lid we would put it in the freezer for a few minutes first so they wouldn't swarm to the top. Daddy accidentally left them in the freezer twice for an extended period of time but most of them survived remarkably. They did end up dying after a few months but this could have been due to the freezer incident. When they were all expired we tried to rinse the dead ones out so we could order some new ones, but the gel disintegrated. We may have used hot water, I don't remember.This came with a little magnifying glass that worked great and 2 little legs to help the thing stand up. The legs fell off all the time so we just stood it on it's own and it was fine. You could really see the ants clearly and they dug great tunnels, it was fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for lazy people *by D***A on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 12, 2014* If you want something where you can just dump the ants in and never have to open it again until they start dying of old age, well, this is it. It's got two tiny air holes in the lid, not large enough for regular sized ants or harvester ants to get through, so you don't have to open it to let in fresh air like some other farms. The gel is translucent and clear enough you can see ants moving through the tunnels on the "back" side (whatever side is not the one you're facing). The gel acts as food and water for the ants, so you don't need to feed them anything extra. After I ordered the ants and put them in, I left them alone in a shady spot, and they lived for nearly 6 months before dying, which is a very long lifespan for worker ants. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1043633-toysmith-ant-universe-educational-kit](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1043633-toysmith-ant-universe-educational-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
