Ant Farm for Kids: Safe, Eco-Friendly Gel Ant Colony Terrarium

The Educational Science Ant Farm provides a great opportunity for observing the fascinating lives of ants. The gel used in the farm is safe and non-toxic to the ants, ensuring their well-being. The large ant castle design offers the ants a more comfortable home, with the option to drill holes on top of the gel to help them dig quickly.

The ant farm is precisely designed and manufactured to prevent the ants from escaping. The transparent acrylic and gel allow for clear observation of the ants' activities, cultivating children's awareness and love of nature and life. This educational tool improves the ability to observe scientific exploration, developing children's hands-on skills and concentration.

The ant farm can be easily expanded by linking it with a channel, allowing for the raising of larger ant populations. The size of the farm is 10.16 x 6.1 x 5.43 inches, and it weighs 2.11 pounds, making it a convenient and compact learning tool.

Observe the ants digging holes, foraging for food, building their home, and laying eggs. Witness the life cycle of an ant colony and how their disciplined society efficiently divides labor and works together. The lifespan of the ants is typically 3-6 months, and it is normal for some to pass away. Simply clean up the dead ones, and the queen ants will continue to produce new worker ants.

When the gel is used up, the user can dig it out and replace it with sand, allowing the ants to continue their natural tunneling behavior. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for the ants to start digging their tunnels.

The queen ant prefers a dark environment, so it is best to place the ant farm in a dark location or cover it with a black cloth when not observing.

It is important to note that when the number of ants is too small (less than 10) or the temperature is too low (generally, ants can survive at 0-40°C, with the most suitable range being 20-30°C), the workers will surround the queen for protection, and fewer ants will come out to forage and dig, which is normal.

To ensure the ants' well-being and stimulate their activities, provide them with adequate food, such as fruit pieces or fine sugar, and maintain a dark environment, which will speed up the queen's spawning and the workers' tunnel digging.

The Educational Science Ant Farm is available in various sizes and configurations, including Gel Ant Farm, Sand Ant Farm, and Gel and Sand Combo Packs, catering to different preferences and budgets. Customers can also choose from a range of Bionic Ant Nest options, each with unique features such as a self-feeding water system and a bionic double nest design.

Remember, live ants are not included, and it is recommended to purchase an ant colony containing the queen to observe the full social dynamics of the ant community. ExBePe ensures the quality of their products and provides a 30-day return policy, along with prompt customer support to address any concerns.
