You asked for it - you got it! The Antworks Habitat and the Antworks Illuminator - all in one box!
It's Award Winning AntWorks!
A highly sophisticated ant farm that lights up! 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.
AntWorks Illuminated Combo 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.

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.

Product review of AntWorks Illuminated Combo
Posted 24 days ago by Thane Bilodeau
Rating: 
My 8 year old daughter and I keep collecting big black ants and they keep dying. The ants that are still alive bury them deep in a hole and do not bring them to the top as the directions state. I'm about to give up. (Note from Fat Brain Toys: The Antworks manufacturer suggests using the enclosed certificate to purchase ants. Not all ant varieties will thrive in Antworks.)
Ant Farm Is A Huge Hit

I bought this Ant Farm for my 6 year old nephew. He was blown away. He can't stop raving about it. It was easy to set up. It has provided hours of fun for him.

My kids and I love the AntWorks ant farm! The gel is a great idea- it is very interesting to look at, and if you need to move the ant farm, the tunnels do not collapse as they would with a normal sand filled ant farm. All in all, this is a great learning experience about the miracle of nature!
Great Product!

Our 2 year old son loves this ant farm. We've had it a week or so now. Every morning he wakes up and goes running out to the kitchen (where we keep the ants overnight out of his reach). He asks for us to get it down for him to see it up close. During the day he's constantly wanting to show it to everyone and watch his ants. He's still learning how to use the magnifying glass. He's having fun and describing everything the ants do and making up stories about them. Great toy if you have a son or daughter who loves nature.
Fascinating And Fun

I knew from product reviews that the AntWorks would be smaller than it appears in photos. I gave the unit to my daughter for her 9th birthday. The whole family has really been enjoying it. The ants started tunneling right away. It's been fascinating to watch their progress and behaviors. The clear blue gel lets you see everything that's happening. Even without the light. The light reduces the ants' lifespans, we have used it very sparingly. Very cool. This would be great for home or a classroom. It's very, very easy to set up. You just pop off the top, pour in the ants, and close back up. Highly recommended.
