I ordered an ant farm for my kids at the beginning of the 22’-23’ school year…. That was a year ago, and these ants are still alive!!
Like, we left for a month and put a piece of bread in there and wished them luck, and when we came back they were ALL STILL ALIVE! If you wants ants as a permanent pet, then look no further because these are the ants for you!
They are Harvester ants. And that’s about all I know about them. My kids lost interest in them after the first 2 weeks (once their ant unit was done) and it has been my sole responsibility to care for these tiny, ugly, undying life forms. I have no idea what to do with them. I tried taking them to some open abandoned field to release them. Like, opened their cage and was like “be free!” And just watched for 30 mins as they went out then back into the ant farm.
So I just opened all the holes and shook the crap out of the ant farm and about half of them dropped out. The other half decided they would like the farm as their permanent residence. So now I’m stuck with about 12 Harvester ants.
I mean, they’re well-behaved and low maintenance so I guess they’ve got that going for them.

At first I was super disappointed because it took our ants like 2 or 3 works to stop just huddling together in a corner but they eventually did start to dig and do some work. Would feel very confident ordering from this seller.
