A great learning project for any time of the year. Ant Mountain takes ant observation to new heights!
Ant Mountain has a fascinating inside/outside design that allows kids to watch busy ants work cooperatively to tunnel, explore, and forage throughout their rugged environment. Now anyone can become a myrmecologist (a person who studies ants).
Ant Mountain Includes:
- Two-sided viewing habitat with safe and escape-proof, locking lid
- Special “easy dig" sand
- Sand rod to get the tunneling started
- Voucher to redeem your supply of 25 drone harvester ants by mail.
Note: We only stock the Ant Mountain with Voucher
When you’re ready to start your ant farm, send away for your tube of 25 drone harvester ants (does not include a queen). Shipping cost for the ants is not included in the Ant Mountain.
Caring for your ants:
Ants love tiny bites of celery, carrot, or apple (about the size of a popcorn kernel) every three days. They also need a couple of drops of water every third or fourth day.
