AS FEATURED IN TIME MAGAZINE'S DECEMBER ISSUE OF BEST INVENTIONS OF 2005!

It's Award Winning AntWorks!

A highly sophisticated ant farm, the most captivating insect toy we've ever seen! Based upon a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space and test how insects-ants, successfully tunnel in microgravity. Antworks captures the attention of people like us, who find this novelty attractive, intriguing and a thrilling medium for insect study! An excellent educational tool for the home, biology classroom, or any science teacher!

NASA scientists thought of everything. Nutrient gel means that THE ANTS NEED NO FOOD OR WATER! The AntWorks gel is complete with nutrients to promote healthy growth in the new ant colony. All you do is sit back and enjoy the view as ants live, work & tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel creating series upon series of intricate tunnels.

Ants are highly intelligent, organized, numerous, and strong. With their largely developed brains, their compassion for fellow ants and ability to work as a team, their amazing physical strength-often lugging 20 times their body weight, and an innate predisposition for a healthy attitude toward work- Antfarms have benefits beyond a simple study of insects!

Thousands of years ago, King Solomon wrote: "Go to the ant, consider its ways and be wise." Well, going to the ant just got easier. From Fat Brain Toys- it's the latest greatest Antfarm...AntWorks to you.

  • Award Winning Antworks!
  • A Modern Ant Farm and Insect Environment
  • Insect Study with Modern Science Technology
  • Tremendous Educational Value
  • Package Includes:
    Unique, Self-contained Environment for Ants
    Nutrient Gel
    Magnifying Glass
    Ant Catching/Tunnel Starter Tool
    Interesting Facts about Cool Insects -Ants!

  • Instructions Included
  • (Ants not included)
  • Ages 8+

    Additional Information:
    The nutrient, non-toxic gel is formulated to last up to one (1) year and provide ALL the food and water the ant colony needs to live in their antfarm habitat. Usually ants will live anywhere from 2 - 6 months and in the "AntWorks" habitat they are 'safe' from disease, cold/wet, and predators.

    Also, whenever ants are attacked, it is the OLDEST worker (all female) ants that exit the colony to protect it...so if you capture you own ants, you will never know exactly HOW long they will live. Maybe days, weeks or months. Also, whenever an ant "expires", their buddies normally carry them to the TOP of the gel (where they place the 'tunnel debris')...so you can always OPEN the lid and take them out, and if you wish, later put in NEW, FRESHER ants to replace the ones that have expired.

    Purchase the Illuminator for Antworks, and watch ants live and work in silvery 3-D tunnels in beautiful blue highlighted gel. AntWorks Illuminator brings the beauty of AntWorks to you 24-7. The perfect "night-light" for any room, AntWorks Illuminator lights up the darkness with lovely intrigue. Dazzling nighttime illumination for your AntWorks.
    Features:
    Bright blue LEDs highlight the tunnels and gel
    Perfect as a bedside, desk or shelf accent light
    Includes:
    Removable LED circuit board with four high intensity, blue LEDs
    110v or 220v power adaptor

    We are really happy with the product. I don't know who loves the product more, my 5 year old son, or my 33 year old husband! Ha. Unfortunately, we got a faulty illuminator. Fortunately, I called Fatbrain and they sent us a new one right away. I would order from them again. We received excellent customer service.

    My daughter's 2nd grade class wanted an ant farm to study. After some research, I decided to get this Antworks ant farm because of the great reviews it received here. They were right!! I ordered the ants from the recommended site. They sent about 30 ants and they all arrived alive. We dropped them in the ant farm and within 24 hours, they were tunneling! The kids in the classroom loved it and their teacher was also pleased.
