Enjoy the View!
Ant Farm Gel Colony is a
sleek habitat that provides
an ultra-cool 3-D view of the
ants’ world. The translucent
gel provides an excellent
living environment for ants.
Watch them build tunnels
and passageways right
before your eyes.
It's All in the Gel
The unique gel was originally developed by NASA for a space shuttle experiment to
see how ants live and work in zero-gravity. It is specially formulated to provide all the
necessary nutrients and moisture for your ants. There is no need to add water or food
to the habitat.
Please note: The gel is non-toxic, but is NOT for human consumption.
Preparing the Habitat
1. Remove and discard plastic wrap from habitat.
2. Remove the habitat lid.
3. Remove and discard plastic liner and
oxygen absorber packet from inside
habitat.
4. With the tunnel starter tool, make three
holes in the gel, each about two inches
deep and spaced equally apart. Swirl the
tool a bit to enlarge the holes.
