African Dwarf Frog Starter Kit- Includes Certificate for 2 Live Frogs- All-in-One Bundle with Book, Small Aquarium, Food, Instructions Now

The media could not be loaded. We were super excited about it. My 7-year-old really wanted to have one. We thought this would have been the perfect thing cuz of the lights. The gel looked super cool. We get the ants. Follow the instructions to a tee and two days later they're dead, not even a full 2 days.

I wish I could give 4 and a half stars because I really love this product and don't want to give it four stars but there are a couple of flaws. One, the lid. It is just not secure. There needs to be a latch of some kind on it. The ants (and they are very cool might I add) work together to try to lift the lid and I guess they can't but I wouldn't underestimate these guys! We ended up putting a weight on it. Even so, if it ever tipped, the lid would just easily fall off and the ants would escape. Also: I don't think the light is all that helpful. It looks cool from afar, but it doesn't help you see the ants. The best thing to do is to turn the light off and put them under a desk lamp. Okay, that's it for the negative. I bought this for my 10 year old and we are all loving it. They say you can put any ants in it, but I STRONGLY suggest you go with theirs. They provide super cool ants that are bigger than your garden variety and very active. They are worth the small cost...by far. The gel is wonderful. I can't stress enough how much you do not want to feed these guys. They are smart and active and I think they would bite if we opened up their enclosure to feed them:) Do follow their short instructions and refrigerate the ants prior to putting them into the habitat. They are truly "dormant" for a bit and you can easily pour them into their home without fear of them biting you. I have been bitten by ants years ago, and I know it doesn't hurt much, but even so...chill them out:) Even with the lid issues and the lackluster light remarks, I love this thing so much that I am giving it 5 stars. It is extremely cool. Buy it, buy it, buy it.

It is an amazing gift for kids 6-8 years old. The ants wok and do as the instruccions said.

It was really cool but half of them were dead and it lasted for a week because fungus grew and killed most of the ants. I let the surviving ones go. I got a different one and it was way better.

Arrived 4 days after ordering with standard shipping. A little smaller than I expected. Gel was already setup in container, so I'm happy I didn't have to mess with that! The kit I ordered came with 2 times of 25 ants each. Sure a few were already dead, but probably because they were trampling on each other. Didn't bother counting, but we received a lot of live, active ants! Directions very easy to follow and complete. Within minutes we were already watching the ants move the dead to their 'graveyard'!

This was very fascinating and the ants came live and healthy. However, once they burrowed tunnels they began to die off. The container could be bigger, it's very small. Still worth purchasing simply for the week of amazement you get.

Pretty Cool!I ordered this 7 days before Christmas because they said they ship in about 3.I did not want dead ants.It arrived the NEXT DAY!!! Good and bad! I had to put the ants in the fridge for 6 DAYS!I did not want to have to spend another $20 for ants.They looked like they were dead when I took them out - all curled up.But luckily I didn't throw them out because they WERE hibernating. It was pretty cool to watch them startmoving around again!Only 4/5 because the unit is a little small, and the shipping wasn't very precise.

The item arrived in a timely manner. It came with 50 ants, I didn’t quite trust the huge air hole in the top… I was always worried they would get out… when the ants arrived over half were dead, and the remainder died within the next week… they never even tried to make holes even with the 4 we started for them. I will not buy again!
