Review Date: December 19, 2009
Reviewer: D. Aleman, south Tx
this is the first ant farm i have owned... and like anything new i get into, i try to do a lot of research. so i looked around A LOT for the largest size ant farm.. i think the giant uncle milton type is somewhat larger but i wanted to use the gel habitat instead of using soil. so i came across this.. and i was like wow! a great deal and its a nice size...
i recieved mine super quick(via fed ex) but even while inside the box.. IT WAS NOT THE DIMENSIONS SPECIFIED. so i hope amazon or someone fixes that soon. the CORRECT DIMENSIONS ARE (of the ant farm itself) 6.5 X 5 X 1.... which in my opinion is a big difference than what is listed. it did come with the gel premade in it though. i think ill just keep it since it would be too much trouble to send it back. i guess if you want a gel habitat ant farm.. its not going to be too large.
Where's da ants?

Unfortunately, I could not use the coupon to purchase ants because ants cannot be shipped from continental USA to Hawaii. I am using the ant aquarium to store dead fish.

Great
 
Review Date: January 29, 2010
Reviewer: Aaron Jankowski,
I bought two of these, hooked them up, and they're absolutely fantastic. For the price, they're strong enough, the plastic is cheap, of course, but you get what you pay for. As long as you're careful with the product (you're not supposed to be handling it often anyway), it's a great small investment.

The only valid complaint I see here is the one regarding the ants. I didn't buy my ants from them because it said it could take anywhere from 2-10 weeks to send them, depending on the weather. I live in Wisconsin, and it was winter. I wasn't going to wait for THEM to decide when to ship my ants.

I ordered my ants from another website (google lifestudies)

These ant farms aren't going to compare to a wood/glass farm, but for the price, they'll exceed your expectations.
My Sons Bug Birthday Party
 
Review Date: June 1, 2009
Reviewer: S. Marks, Maryland
I had used the ant farm as one of the prizes at my son's birthday party. The directions are idiot proof when setting up the ant farm and after you put the ants in their new habitat you really just let them do all the work. Durable for small kids as well.
Great! but not durable

This was a gift for my Dad. He loves it. I can't say that I have actually seen it in action though, so my review isn't worth much.

Review Date: June 24, 2010
Reviewer: R. Rodriguez, Midtown Sacramento
I bought this thinking, hey wouldn't it be neat to have an ant farm? And it was pretty neat. I never order the ants offered with the product after hearing tales of dead ant tubes showing up in peoples mailboxes, and my girlfriend and I started catching them around the house. It was a sporty little affair at first, but they didn't thrive in there and starting dying, filling the place with little ant corpses. What started as a fun experiment ended as a depressing reminder of how fleeting life can be. I...I just need a little time to myself right now.
Ants cost extra
 
Review Date: May 2, 2010
Reviewer: B. Hall,
I just got my ant farm, only to discover that the ants cost an extra $4. That's not a lot, but it adds 33% to the cost. And it seems misleading when the product description says "Includes order form to receive live ants by mail."

Review Date: July 29, 2006
Reviewer: J. Weinberger, New York
The one truly amazing thing about Uncle Milton's Ant Farm was just how quickly the ants died. Perhaps ants just aren't cut out to live in a cheesy plastic enclosure propped up on somebody's bookshelf in a high-rise apartment in Manhattan waiting for a crumb to drop miraculously from the heavens. That's my guess.
Dont Buy It!!!
 
Review Date: July 27, 2009
Reviewer: A. Duffy, Airmont NY
It takes them 4 weeks after you main away to get the ants I bought this product and it tells you to put the ants in the fridge when you get them to "calm" them so i did that when I put them in the container 25 RED BITING AND STINGING ANTS came out i had to catch then with a tissue 2 bit so hard their heads got stuck on it. Whenever you open the lid the ants come racing out. All within a day my whole ant farm died. Who wants to buy red ants???

DO NOT BUY IT!!!
