Uncle Milton Ant Farm Revolution - Manual

CAUTION: NEVER HANDLE OR TOUCH ANTS DIRECTLY.
THEY CAN BITE OR STING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.
Enjoy the View!
Ant Farm Revolution is a 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.
CAUTION: Do not look directly down into the light source.
Doing so can cause serious and irreparable eye damage.
CAUTION: Do not look directly at the sun with the magnifier cap.
Doing so can cause serious and irreparable eye damage.

Order Online To
Populate
Your Live Ant Habitat
Follow the instructions on
the enclosed order form to
order online.
We will mail you an ample
supply of Western Harvester
ants (scientific name is Pogonomyrmex, meaning “bearded ants”
because they appear to have little beards).
Normally, we mail the ants to you within 4 to 6 weeks after we
receive your order. But sometimes we delay them because it is
too hot or too cold for them. It’s best for you to send for ants
when the temperature is less than 85° F and above 32° F. If you
have an outdoor mailbox, don’t let the ants stay in there for too
long. It may be too hot or cold for them!
Adding Ants To Your
Ant Farm Revolution Habitat
1. If the ants seem lazy the first few hours, don’t worry. Put the
habitat in a dark place overnight. They’ll soon become accus-
tomed to their new home. If a few ants are dead, don’t worry;
there are more than enough ants. (It is better not to have an
over-crowded habitat.)
2. Remove the habitat Cap, carefully open the plastic tube of ants
and gently shake or tap it to allow the live ants to fall in. Try not
to let any dead ants fall in. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH
THE ANTS! Replace the Cap tightly.
