Our newly designed ant habitat features a playful, colourful landscape. Observe your ants' tunnel, explore, and forage throughout their new rugged environment.
The flat, easy-breathe lid and enhanced climbing surfaces provide a comfortable home for your ants.
The safe and escape-proof habitat allows easy viewing as your ants move the lightweight sand to create a series of tunnels.
A great STEM learning opportunity.
Same day set up, no waiting required!
The Ant Hill™ includes:
Reusable, two-sided viewing habitat with escape-proof lid
Special ‘easy dig’ sand (enough to complete the project multiple times!)
Sand rod to help the ants get tunnels started
My Ant Observation Journal for ages 7-10 (additional copies available here)
Ant Hill™ instruction guide with hints and tips on how to collect ants
Collect your ants with the help of the included instruction booklet, or pair the Ant Hill™ with a Bug Vacuum for extra bug-hunting fun! Occasionally sets of ants are available here (dispatch dates are limited).
Q: We put ants in the ant hill last weekend. They are quite lively around the front of the ant hill, but not making tunnels in the back. Is there a way to encourage them to tunnel into the 'sand'? Also, how long should we keep them in there before releasing, and what is the sand made of? Thanks.
