Ant Farms
Ant farms offer a bugs-eye view into the lives of these fascinating animals. In our yards, ants are a pest, but in an ant farm, they become absolutely fascinating. There are many options to choose from when selecting an ant farm. The biggest difference among the ant farm choices is the substance that the ants live in. Traditional ant farms have sand in a thin layer that allow you to see the ants' tunnels. These ant habitats require you to feed the ants. Gel ants farms have no sand, but instead of a gel that serves as both the ants' habitat and their food, so no additional food is required. There are also light-up illuminated versions of the gel-based ant farms that cause the gel to appear to glow; these ant farms can even be used as a night light! WonderBrains is proud to offer you many of the top ant farms in the market. Our selection includes Uncle Milton Ant Farms, Antworks NASA Ant Farms, and Geosafari ant farms.

Ant Farm
Uncle Milton is the original maker of the trademarked Ant Farm habitat, a fascinating toy-meets-science-project for generations of children. Your kids can also experience this timeless classic for the first time or all over again, and get a peek into the amazing underground world of the ant. The basic Uncle Milton Ant Farm is 9 inches wide by 6 inches high that has four "Antports", allowing the habitat to connect to other Ant Farm brand ant habitats through the use of Antway Connector Tubing (included). The ant farm sits on a tip-proof stand to help secure the unit from accidental falls. It also includes clean tunneling sand to fill the ant farm, giving the ants a substrate to crawl through. The ant farm is break-resistent and escape-proof. Also included are the illustrated Ant Watcher's Manual and an order form to receive live ants by mail (Postage and handling fee required.)
Ants can only be shipped within continental limits of the USA and Canada. The ants are shipped directly from Uncle Milton Industries, so we cannot ship the ants at the same time as the ant farm. We apologize for an inconvenience this may cause, but we want your ants to be healthy and alive for you to enjoy your ant farm, so we entrust this service to professional ant suppliers.
