AS FEATURED IN TIME MAGAZINE'S DECEMBER ISSUE OF BEST INVENTIONS OF 2005!
It's Award Winning AntWorks!
A highly sophisticated ant farm, the most captivating insect toy we've ever seen! Based upon a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space and test how insects-ants, successfully tunnel in microgravity. Antworks captures the attention of people like us, who find this novelty attractive, intriguing and a thrilling medium for insect study! An excellent educational tool for the home, biology classroom, or any science teacher!
NASA scientists thought of everything. Nutrient gel means that THE ANTS NEED NO FOOD OR WATER! The AntWorks gel is complete with nutrients to promote healthy growth in the new ant colony. All you do is sit back and enjoy the view as ants live, work & tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel creating series upon series of intricate tunnels.
Ants are highly intelligent, organized, numerous, and strong. With their largely developed brains, their compassion for fellow ants and ability to work as a team, their amazing physical strength-often lugging 20 times their body weight, and an innate predisposition for a healthy attitude toward work- Antfarms have benefits beyond a simple study of insects!
Thousands of years ago, King Solomon wrote: "Go to the ant, consider its ways and be wise." Well, going to the ant just got easier. From Fat Brain Toys- it's the latest greatest Antfarm...AntWorks to you.

Additional Information:
The nutrient, non-toxic gel is formulated to last up to one (1) year and provide ALL the food and water the ant colony needs to live in their antfarm habitat. Usually ants will live anywhere from 2 - 6 months and in the "AntWorks" habitat they are 'safe' from disease, cold/wet, and predators.
Also, whenever ants are attacked, it is the OLDEST worker (all female) ants that exit the colony to protect it...so if you capture you own ants, you will never know exactly HOW long they will live. Maybe days, weeks or months.
Also, whenever an ant "expires", their buddies normally carry them to the TOP of the gel (where they place the 'tunnel debris')...so you can always OPEN the lid and take them out, and if you wish, later put in NEW, FRESHER ants to replace the ones that have expired.
Purchase the Illuminator for Antworks, and watch ants live and work in silvery 3-D tunnels in beautiful blue highlighted gel. AntWorks Illuminator brings the beauty of AntWorks to you 24-7. The perfect "night-light" for any room, AntWorks Illuminator lights up the darkness with lovely intrigue. Dazzling nighttime illumination for your AntWorks.

Kids Love It

Everything advertised about the Antworks antfarm and the ants that we ordered separately was true. The kids love it. One already brought it to school for the day. The other is bringing it tomorrow. Very clean and well contained. No dirt. You can see everything the ants do. I'm not a big fan of bugs, but these don't bother me. Pretty fascinating. Who knew ants inside the house could be so interesting?

We purchased Antworks last summer. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered another for this summer. The whole family spent a lot of time watching these fascinating creatures. Everything is self contained. There is nothing to do but enjoy! You do have to order the ants separately. You only pay a nominal shipping cost. I have recommended this product to others.
Awesome For Any Age!

This is a perfect gift for kids and adults! Everyone I have given this to (from my 5 year old nephew to my 30 year old friend) has absolutely loved it! You can get ants online faster than with the coupon in the box, too.

I've had a few ant farms with varying levels of success. After ordering the ants online (from the recommended website) they came in about 10 days. I put them in the farm and they went pretty much right to work. I've spent hours watching them tunnel with the included magnifying glasses. I've learned quite a bit just by watching them. There's no way for the ants to escape as long as you don't open the lid. This is a remarkably educational product. A great way for anyone to learn about ants, young or old.

This was a great gift for my kids ages 4 and 7. The ants created all kinds of tunnels. Just like the picture shows. The only negative was that we had to wait quite a while for the ants to arrive.
