Antquarium Forest is a fantastic STEM toy for little explorers. The kit, containing tropical plant seeds, a magnifying glass, a gel kit, and detailed instructions, comes to life when you release ants into it. Bring nature into your home: follow the ants' tunnels in the gel and the growth of the plants above.
Lively ant world at home or in the classroom 🐜
The Antquarium Super Ant Forest offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ants. Watch them dig tunnels, collaborate, and create an entire underground world – perfect for curious children and adults alike!
Made with safe, natural materials and an innovative ecosystem, it requires minimal maintenance. No need to change the water or feed daily—just watch, learn, and enjoy! Perfect for home or classroom use. The Super Ant Forest encourages curiosity, biological understanding, and responsibility in a playful way. Learning about nature has never been so much fun.
Watch ants live and dig tunnels between plant roots . The ants dig their tunnels in the gel, and above the gel, you can also see how the plants grow. You don't need to water the plants or feed the ants. Everything they need is contained in the gel.
Antquarium is a high-tech habitat for ants, based on the technology NASA used to study life in a weightless environment. It's entirely self-sustaining, with the blue gel serving as food, moisture, and shelter. The only thing you need to add to the Ant Farm are the ants themselves.
How long do ants live in the Antquarium?
Ants live between 60 days and a year. When you catch or buy them, you don't know how old they are or how long they'll live. On average, our ants last a few months. We sometimes hear enthusiastic stories from people who've kept a group of ants in the gel ant farm for over a year. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee the lifespan of ants, but if all the ants die in the first two weeks, we'll send you a new ant family free of charge (provided the gel has been prepared correctly).
How long does the gel remain a food source for the ants?
Antquarium's gel is a complete food source for ants. Since they don't eat much and even dig up and reuse the gel's waste, they can use it for months to up to a year.
