AntsRuslive queen ant Lasius niger queen with 5-10 workers (starter kit)

Queen arrive safe and well with her 4 worker’s. She seems happy, love the little tube of feed that comes too, though I don’t think she’s ready to eat yet, I’ll give her a few days to settle now.

Bought for my son for his first set up:All arrived perfectly and still thriving many months laterGreat value for money, big queen and plenty of workers

Really happy when she arrived she had 10 workers hatched I put them into there new in closure but she hasn’t seemed to lay any eggs yet.

I've given this item an average rating of 3. We had two lots of ants the first lot the Queen was dead on arrival and actually completely dehydrated the second lot the Queen was alive but then died within a couple of days. Because I'm not sure whether it's something we did I don't want to be too critical of the company so we just decided it was too cruel to keep getting ants and them dying and we gave up on the ant farm. Grandchildren very disappointed but we will have to find something else.

Got in the post. Put in there habitat and this morning there dead.

My ants arrived alive. Though the postman shoved them through the letter box and the ants are now all stiff and surrounding the queen tho they all look okay and alive the queens alive. I got everything they said they'd send with it and I also got the care sheet two days early which i liked as it give me lot time to memorize it. One thing I never liked was that use sellotaped bubble wrap to the test tube which when opening causes a ton of noise and vibrations for the queen. So for the time being i wont be opening it properly until I know the queens fine after her heavy handed post man. So far 5/5 from the sellers will update again in 14 days let use know how shes got on. Thanks a lot Antsrus. Edit My ants seem to have gone into hibernation as they've all curled up in ball with the queen. My area is pretty cold this time of year. So I have put them away in a draw where there will be no vibrations. I'll check back up on them start of spring. Fingerscrossed they make it okay.

The queen was alive on arrival which I was so pleased with but I didn’t receive the care sheet via email or in the package and didn’t actually know what the protein shake was so I added it to a cotton bud and she actually ended up drowning in it that same day. Wondering what the 14 day guarantee is and if it applies to me because ngl I feel really ripped off rn

Ants were dispatched earlier than stated, but got caught in the postal strike. Not withstanding they arrived and were well packaged and all alive. Set them up attaching the test tube they arrived in to an tube into the ant farm, and after two weeks, they now live in a test tube! Sure they’ll venture to find food eventually but queen has laid pads of eggs and they seem to be thriving.
