Uncle Milton Original Ant Farm
Since 1956, children and adults have enjoyed watching ant colony activity with this classic kit.

Ants form various tunnels through the substrate as they go about their daily routines. Frame is break-resistant and escape-proof. Harvester ants must be ordered directly from the manufacturer (for shipment in continental U.S. only) which includes a shipping fee. 9" x 14.25" x 1.5".
CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts, not for children under 3.
Get a peek into the amazing underground world of ants with the classic toy thats delighted generations of families since 1956! Break Resistant and Escape Proof! Order live harvester ants online! *Postage and handling fee required. Ants shipped only within continental limits of USA.

Why complain about the box, you say?!
Because this is for a child's birthday present, and the picture on the front "introduces" the ant farm, and lets you get an idea of how it will look when it is all set up with ants... it gives one something to anticipate and shoot for.
For a child who loves ants, just seeing a nondescript box and then the bare ant farm inside.... it will look like some boring thing that will not spark any initial interest.
Therefore I gave it 3 stars.

JaniceYou may be able to purchase supplies to connect multiple pieces, but if you just want a basic ant farm, the only thing you need to purchase separately is the ants. You will have to add a tiny amount of food and water once you get it set up, but you don't have to purchase special food.
Mary Ann MYou can use "local" ants you find in your yard. You can also order them online (paying for them separately). These used to include an ant shipment but that has been discontinued so I suspect there was some sort of issue.
JaniceThe farm comes with instructions for ordering the ants. There is a shipping and handling fee.
