## Questions & Answers

**Q: My ants came in balls yesterday. They still aren’t moving today. Is this normal?**
A: Ours never moved at all. They were definitely dead!

**Q: Why did most ants die after pitting them into the ant farm?**
A: I was told by ant keepers that without a queen the ants will die within a few weeks bc they have no purpose, no real reason to live. They said with a queen they will live years. The company doesn't sell queens bc its illegal to transport them over state lines. They also stressed that ant farming and and ant keeping were 2 different things. I learned by joining Facebook groups about ant keeping.

**Q: They are all death.  So what do I do?**
A: If they arrived dead and you made sure you attended to them immediately upon arrival then contact the shipper.

**Q: Does it include queen ant?**
A: No it does not (ant farms are not designed to contain a large queen and the thousands of young she produces).

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow the included instructions, they are aggressive.
*by D***N on July 24, 2025*

I can not stress enough how important it is to follow the instructions. Put them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before opening the tube. I did not do that. They seemed lethargic in the tube so I thought, yeah I have plenty of time. As soon as I popped the cap open it was like the State Patrol took and exit on the freeway. Luckily I had the new home ready because within 2 seconds one was hanging out of the tube. There was a few dead ones but that is to be expected when you order a tube of ants to be shipped clear across the country, it also didn’t help that they were on my porch for 8 hours before I got home. They were shipped via ups second day air which I’m sure is a big part of the cost. I was really glad to find that out as I was dreading fedex and their strange shipping methods that result in a lot of delays.Very good suppliers, I would recommend them to others.

### ⭐ Dead Ants on Arrival.
*by A***R on May 22, 2025*

We followed the instructions that were in the packet. 10-15 min in frigefor an easy transition into grandson ant farm. Well we notice there ae only 3 living ants the others ones were dead.I just received my package on 5.19.25 @ 7:08 pm and today is 5.22.25 the queen ant is dead now.My grandson is not happy neither am I. I purchase these ants as a surprise to Celebrate his outstanding school year. The picture tells it all, we are very Disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy if you can tend to ants immediately
*by E***Y on June 25, 2025*

Seems like reviews are mixed on this so I took that into consideration when buying. I estimated the order time when I thought I’d be home. It worked out and I met the ups dude in the driveway and put these fugggers in the fridge after a few minutes upon arrival.About 8 minutes for the first tube and there were around six dead ones. The other tube was in for right around 10 minutes and they entered the farm in a different spot. It took them awhile to get moving and I thought they all might be dead. All but five from that tube survived.I’m not sure if they’re overstocking the order but I’d estimate I have around 45 live ones who are digging and exploring.Hope some of this helps. I didn’t know anything about ants before I bought this
