Toys and Games Reviews of Fascinations AntWorks Illuminated Blue
Customer Review: the girls are busy!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
hi all!
(update) its now a couple months later and the girls are still goin strong! only two have died. the rest are happily doin their lil anty things! i love this item! almost no care is required to provide your colony with a happy healthy anty sorta life...(they are diggin a new tunnel as i type this...use the 'super zoom' magnifier! its awesome!!!)
looking forward to my next colony and habitat!
(orig. review)...
first understand. when you order this product. you will not get ants with it! its no big deal, jus use the included forms to order your ant colony (i went with edmunds scientific, and was thrilled with the service. I RECOMEND UPS 2ND DAY AIR!!! specially now that its winter! it took about a week (have to wait till conditions are good to ship your new pets) and the ants arrived in a vial with a lil heat pack to keep them comfy...(only three out of thirty didnt make it...not bad)
it cost an extra ten bux to get the ants...
i popped them into their new home and waited to see what they would do... and they surprised me!
the kit comes with a 'starter hole tool' to poke lil holes in the gel for the girls (you will learn ALL ants that do anything meaningfull in day to day activities are girls) and they promptly ignored the holes i poked for them and started their own digs! (women)
i got the 'harvester' species of ants. and when they got here they were pretty tiny and brown. but now a couple weeks later, they are black and HUGE! (be carefull when cracking the lid to give them air!)
they are now happily diggin tunnels all over the place! its sooo cool to see them in this gel stuff! like they live in 'solid water'
they have made lots of tunnels and connections and picked out a spot at the bottom left corner where they like to go to sleep...at any one time i see most of them now snoozin...while a few wander around. then sometimes they all wake up at once and start a new connecting tunnel...
all the surviving ants from the shipment are still goin strong and i hope they live long and happy lives (for ants) and am lookin forward to a new colony (and probably and new habitat...or maybe ill get a new colony for this current habitat, and a new hab. and colony. and compare their activities!)
jus so you know...im 44. but this is really cool! if you have kids and want to get this for them. i recomend it! (just use some comon sense supervision)
really cool great item!
update...weeks later...
the girls are still goin strong! a few have died...the others are happily tunneling away still! try the super magnifier you get with the habitat! really gets you CLOSE to your new friends!
