Looking to buy an ant farm with live ants and queen included?If you’re wondering why it’s been difficult to find an ant farm with queen included, it’s for a good reason. The USDA made rules that prohibit shipping queen ants because they don’t want them to establish colonies where they don’t belong if they are accidentally released. Also, ant farms are not designed to contain a large queen and the thousands of young she produces. The live ants included with your gel ant farm order only consists of worker ants which do remain active in your ant farm without the need for a queen. They will work together to maintain their habitat, gather food, and construct tunnels.
Ages 8+ with adult supervision required.
