Nature Gift Store 1 Tube of Live Ants Plus Ant Food and Honey Treat: Ant Habitat Kit Refill

Ants arrived in about a week and are doing well. They adapted to our ant home right away and began tunneling. It’s been enjoyable watching them work on many tunnels.

I ordered these for my daughter for our new gel ant farm last week, they were not supposed to be here until closer to her birthday, but they hot here sooner, after paying for ants ($7) and even more for shipping ($8), which they were only mailed 1st class USPS not overnight or even priority, which at that postal rate, it should have been priority, they were received in a bubble envelope, so nothing to protect them from cold or heat, they say they guarentee them during that 7 day period, but weather changes and the heat of inside a mail truck for days!!! Come on, really, so mine got here early, so the weather guarentee doesn't even apply here based off the supposed delivery date because you first can't rely on weather reports 2 weeks in advance, which is what I was expecting, but it got here today, so over a week early, so how was I supposed to predict the weather everywhere they are traveling in between the 2000 mile journey of the address in WA state???? YOU CAN'T!! IT'S NOT LOGICAL!! AND all but 4 were dead. The rest were just pieces and parts of ant bodies, so either they ate each other or they got shaken around so hard they fell apart! Not the way you should ship them, if it's in the summer or winter. Nor should you have to pay $8 for a $1 shipping first class USPS cost. They also need to put VENOMOUS right up top on order details. Now the ants I bought last week now cost over $26 now plus shipping, that's more than $1 per ant, at that price they better be overnighted with a refrigerated pak.

great buy! I had just got into farming ants and purchased from them and the ants were shipped and delivered quickly, of course as quick as one can do from the opposite sides of the country, Washington state, to New York State where I am.I did order two tubes of 25 ants in each and unfortunately again out of the sellers control be it they went through a hot state or were handled incorrectly by shippers or nature, one of the two tubes were dead but I emailed and within an hour had a response back from them saying they are shipping the replacement tube of ants, they arrived on time and not only did they replace the one tube of 25 but sent me two tubes of 25! they went above and beyond and my ants are thriving!great buy for kids who are interested in ants and ill say they are awesome to watch!

The ants arrived all dead. I have contacted the seller and am still waiting for a response. My 7 yes old has been waiting anxiously for them because he got an ant farm container for Christmas. He is going to be very disappointed when he sees the dead ants and finds out we have to order new ones. The seller webpage states that we are responsible for buying them when the temps are not too low. We live in north Texas and in the past days we have had cold days but not drops bellow 40. I hope the seller reimburses us or sends new ants in an expedite shipping. I am happy to update this post if we get a positive response. Otherwise I will leave it as a warning to other buyers.UPDATEI contacted costumer service and they were very responsive. It took them less than 4 hrs to respond. Carlos was very nice and asked us to wait 24 hrs to see if the ants came back from hibernation. They did not. As soon as I notified them they sent another batch. I am waiting for the replacement ants. So far the costumer service has been amazing. Hopefully the second batch will make it. I will keep updating this post.

Half of the ants were dead upon arrival and the rest died soon thereafter. It was heartbreaking for my 4 year old grandson who wanted to learn about ants and study an ant farm! There was not a queen so with out a queen they didn't know what to do. They didn't tunnel on do any activities; they just died off. So sad!

My first batch of ants arrived dead (but it was really hot that week). I messaged the seller and they quickly sent new ants and most of them were alive when they arrived. Only one day in but so far they are thriving and digging tunnels!

Bought 2 tubes with food and honey, at least half of them seem ok, arrived sooner than expected which was good. I was vary worried as these shipped to me in Alaska. 4 stars because some of them were dead, there is no queen (explained) and some of the live ones were missing parts. something I learned after buying them though is that these will not breed as they do not have a queen and can not just conjure a new one, so if you buy them and do not introduce a local queen they will die after meeting their lifespan (6 weeks - 6 months).

All of the ants arrived dead.Came with food, honey treats and a cute educational book. My son was so disappointed when we opened the package to find that non of the ants were alive.
