Product Description:

Watch ants dig underground tunnels with this unique ant habitat. This habitat is designed to be identical to an ant's real home, as the "cross-cut" design features an oversized tunneling chamber for easy observation. The habitat stands 8.5 inches high and its base is 11 inches x 5 inches, which makes tipping over virtually impossible. Thankfully, a locking lid also makes escape impossible for the ants! The habitat comes with "easy dig" sand, a sand rod, and instructions. A voucher is also included for Harvester ants to fill the habitat. The ants are free, but you will need to pay $4.00 shipping for 25 ants within the U.S. or $5.00 shipping for Canada. Please note that ants can not be shipped to Oregon or Hawaii. The double-sided viewing area and the dome shaped design make this habitat practical and fun.

Opportunity to follow Proverbs exhortation to " Go to the ant..." seeing them work diligently hopefully will inspire my little guys.

We used this as part of our homeschool curriculum and enjoyed it I must say as a mom of several young children I did have some reservations The ants that they send you can bite sting and are aggressive We put it up on the fireplace mantle to keep little fingers from opening it My children all watched with awe as the ants went to work tunneling for days It was an amazing learning experience and we might even do it again!
