We got our 7 year old grandson an ant farm. This was so fun to build and watch the ants to go work. Great quality! This set is expandable also

No quality control, ants WILL get out
We ordered this as part of a trio (green/blue/sand). It arrived in two packages, the green/blue gel in one and the sand separately.). The sand one arrive crushed with sand spilling everywhere. The Blue one arrived missing the plastic plugs that are used to connect one unit to another with the provided tubing. The green one’s top came without the plug in the top piece which is unique to that part. We were able to salvage the top from the crushed sand unit and since we were connecting the units the missing plug wasn’t a concern.We ordered our ants and upon receipt of a replacement sand unit managed to get all three units connected. We added the ants, and for the first 12 hours everything was good. Then we began noticing that some of the ants appeared to be UNDER the enclosure. It turns out that the vertical tubes that lead through the sand/gel in the green and sand units were terminated at the bottom so the ants would divert into the feeding boxes. There was no such termination in the blue one so the ants could go down and were then effectively loose from the entire enclosure. We managed to get the ants back into the enclosure and with some hot glue and a dime we closed off the blue verticals tube at the bottom. We made sure the tubes for the green and sand units were securely blocked and thought we were in good shape. That last about an hour until we heard screaming that the ants were “everywhere” and discovered that each of the food boxes inexplicably also had holes at the bottom that were not plugged!We have now taped the entire bottom of theses things and placed it on a thin sheet of MDF with hot glue around the entire perimeter. We cannot return them with ants in them and there is no effective way of removing the ants to another enclosure. They live on our porch now, at least until we are sure they cannot escape.Under no circumstance should anyone buy these. They are poorly designed, easily escaped, and there is no quality control at all.

Pretty cool
Ants escaped when the tubes disconnected during the first two nights. I bought a hot glue gun and made sure all the connections were good. Now it’s cool and no more escapees biting me when I go to the kitchen.

Only half of the ant farm was usable.
I opened the ant farm package when my daughter's ants arrived and found that half of the ant farm was covered in mold. I ended up using just the other half as the two tubes of ants that arrived wouldn't last through the return process. The tubing that connects the various points on the ant farm are a bit too smooth on the inside, at least for the harvester ants we ordered. They have a lot of trouble getting up them.
