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.
