## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the ants supposed to come with this? i received my farm, and it had a “open immediately - perishable” warning on it, but there were no ant tubes.**
A: Mine came with a tube of ants. If the box said open immediately I would assume it should have had the ants.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Badly designed; ants didn’t tunnel
*by R***N on May 13, 2025*

We have loved ordering insects from insect lore every year, but these ants were not good at all. We followed all instructions but they did not tunnel at all; they simply move the sand from one side of the container to the other or drop it over the back. They even filled in any tunnels we began for them (as per instructions provided). Most of them slipped down the other side of the ant hill and would spend so much time trying to crawl back up to the top only to slip back down. We ended up putting a couple sticks over there so they could climb back to the sand side. A little over a week later and 90% of them are dead. We did carpenter ants a few years ago in another container and we still had a few ants alive months later. These are harvester ants btw.I think the issue here is that the container is badly designed. I understand the company can’t make the ants tunnel, but they need to fix the design issue to better encourage them to do so. Don’t waste your money, pick a different insect lore insect to study.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think this item is the best yet
*by K***E on March 26, 2025*

The ants making the tunnels are the best part!

### ⭐⭐ Ant dead
*by A***Y on June 2, 2024*

Only four ants were alive when they arrived. Then they only lived for three more days. Was hoping this would be a fun little project for kids but was a big disappointment.
