aleawol Ant Nest Farm Natural Gypsum, Transparent Ant Formicarium World House Feeding Box for Observing Habits Science Experiment Gift

Amazing! Definelty recommend for first time ant colony.

The nest is well made and a good size. I is worth checking for any gaps where very small ants could escape from. I found no major issues. My only issue is that the gypsom nest did seem to have a high moisture content. The humidity in the small foraging area was close to 90 % . It was not possible for me to take a reading in the nest area. It did cause a lot of condensation on the glass, which could lead to mould. This could be easy rectified by removing the nest from the container and letting it dry out a little. Overall a good product

Well what can I say, I am totally blown away with this habitat. I want to put my harvester colony in here but they jave decided to use another habitat I have, I do have the tubing so I will attach them together. Very heavy for such a small tank and it came with tweezers and a pipette. Great value for money, once my family have moved, I will add another photo.... Update....... Well my little family decided to move lock, stock and barrel to the tower, so now I have a happy little family of harvester ants.

It was fine for a while until I needed to take the brick out. But I couldn't because the moisture from water and stuff I put in for the ants, locked the bricked in and I had to break it open. Bad design

Item was broke when it arrived

Great product

Update: Seller gave me a full refund and said they will be working on improving the product so what you get might be a better working version in the near future and as the seller is great I might try and give this product another try when they fixed it. That is why I gave the product 4 stars. Does not work would be 1-2 stars depending on whether I can make it work. 3 stars for not working but getting my money back, so I can replace it or something. 4 stars for works but not perfect, small issues (they made a promise to improve it to make it work and better so that is why I chose this category for this product in my update a bit in advance but hoping to buy a better version later), 5 stars for works perfectly, no issues Original review: Not good for ants. They can easily get out of it and walk around on the inside or outside. Gave me a hard time so difficult to catch them once they are all over your desk. The holes are where the two pieces connect. That slot is too large so the ants can get out. I found them crawling all over it on the outside within minutes of putting them inside. Thankfully, I just caught a handful from the garden so I got rid of them easily but taking the whole thing outside and leaving it there. Glad I decided to test it before ordering a queen just to get my house full of ants having to call an exterminator or something. I don't even want to think about it! Terrible shock would not recommend. Get butterflies instead at least those do not bite and does not cause any infestation that needs exterminator help. Save yourself from this product and hundreds of ants moving in to your bedroom with you!

Honestly the best ant home I have ever had, great nest size and the outland part is a decent size aswell good for a decent sized colony my colony is messor barbarus red head and they fit perfectly
