    • Cool Ants!
Style: 50 Live Ants
Ants Alive! (though I thought they were dead because they were cold). I was so worried I emailed the company but by the morning there were two tubes of angry looking little ants just waiting for the ant farm at the kids' science fair! I emailed the company back immediately to say they were fine and I got an email right back. Based on my experience this seems like a great way to order ants and a responsive company to deal with. ... show more

    • Dead on arrival
Style: 25 Live Ants+Honey+Food+Book
The ants were dead on arrival. The ants food, honey, and booklet will be useful in the ant farm that I gave my grandson for his birthday. However, it was disappointing that the tube of ants were dead. I've reordered ants and having them delivered directly to him. Hopefully they will be alive.

!! **Read this tops part*** !! So i am a grown man so when i got my live ants i simply removed them from the instruction paper toss the paper to the side and tried to get them into my ant farm. This ended with me not only hunting down half the ants but getting BITE HARD a few times my hand hurt for like a hour i got bite so many times plus killed to of them trying to catch them. On that paper the instructions CLEARLY say to put the tube in the refrigerator for 10mins makes them cold and move very very slow tap the tube let the ants fall to 1 side than open and poor into your farm. Read instructions when dealing with something you know very little about lol They where all alive when i got them a few where extra slow and will more than likely die very soon BUT it was 🔥 hot out in the high 80s when they where in a tiny tube in a package in a hot van than my mail box so cant be mad at that. Overall i was happy tube even had a queen in it hoping that is normal cause i just ordered a 2nd tube cause the very cheap farm i got "uncle Milton's" ant farm was sooo cheap and junk my queen escaped and so did a few other out the side panel holes ment for tubes but the covers the ants can push them right off. My mistake tring to fulfill a *childhood want* and getting the same farm i wanted as a kid.... Fast shipping Ant all alive.. ... show more

    • Dead ants, but the surviving ones are fine.

One tube contained dead ants. The second tube was fine; the ants are superior.

Review Image by faust faust
Bought 2 tubes with food and honey, at least half of them seem ok, arrived sooner than expected which was good. I was vary worried as these shipped to me in Alaska. 4 stars because some of them were dead, there is no queen (explained) and some of the live ones were missing parts. something I learned after buying them though is that these will not breed as they do not have a queen and can not just conjure a new one, so if you buy them and do not introduce a local queen they will die after meeting their lifespan (6 weeks - 6 months). ... show more

    • All but 4 dead on arrival!
Style: 25 Live Ants
I ordered these for my daughter for our new gel ant farm last week, they were not supposed to be here until closer to her birthday, but they hot here sooner, after paying for ants ($7) and even more for shipping ($8), which they were only mailed 1st class USPS not overnight or even priority, which at that postal rate, it should have been priority, they were received in a bubble envelope, so nothing to protect them from cold or heat, they say they guarentee them during that 7 day period, but weather changes and the heat of inside a mail truck for days!!! Come on, really, so mine got here early, so the weather guarentee doesn't even apply here based off the supposed delivery date because you first can't rely on weather reports 2 weeks in advance, which is what I was expecting, but it got here today, so over a week early, so how was I supposed to predict the weather everywhere they are traveling in between the 2000 mile journey of the address in WA state???? YOU CAN'T!! IT'S NOT LOGICAL!! AND all but 4 were dead. The rest were just pieces and parts of ant bodies, so either they ate each other or they got shaken around so hard they fell apart! Not the way you should ship them, if it's in the summer or winter. Nor should you have to pay $8 for a $1 shipping first class USPS cost. They also need to put VENOMOUS right up top on order details. Now the ants I bought last week now cost over $26 now plus shipping, that's more than $1 per ant, at that price they better be overnighted with a refrigerated pak. ... show more

    • Ants in distress
Style: 50 Live Ants+Honey+Food
Once delivered half of the ants were dead. We followed directions in transferring the ants to habitat. The ants are very sluggish and not making many tunnels. I have purchased from other companies and the ants were all alive and very active making tunnels.
