Gel Refill for Ant Habitat - Gels Compatible with Dan & Darci, Evviva, Navadeal Ants Farms - Rich, Nutrient

The media could not be loaded. This stuff worked great! Needed a refill for an old ant farm, the directions were very easy to follow, and settled quickly after pouring into habitat!Ants almost immediately started digging tunnels and eating the gel after transfer from fridge to tank!Glows brilliantly under the multicolored LED base I have for it as well! Definitely recommend this if I’m need of fresh Ant Gel, at a decent price too!! ^^

I love the product, there just isn't enough to fill the ant farm that I use. I end up needing 2 packages.The children in my class enjoy watching the ants "work" making their tunnels.

Just a hard gel that has to be heated to liquefy so that you can pour it into your habitat.With a little attention and care, it's very easy to use.We have 2 habitats and we were able to fill 1.5 of them.Since it gets hot and it's gel it definitely requires adult supervision and attention throughout the process, to avoid any possible harm.

My kid did a science fair project comparing sand with gel to see which would have more tunnels. After two weeks there were no tunnels in the gel. The ants seem to dislike it and just sit around or try to climb the side of the container. The sand worked great (lots of tunnels, ants busy day and night) and of course is much cheaper and easier to use.

I tried to boil this using the boil setting on a tea kettle but was unable to fully melt the gel until I placed it in a glass container and put the container in a pot with water and boiled it on the stovetop. Came out perfect!

The directions were easy to follow. One pouch fills to the right level so new ant will have plenty of room to dig but also plenty of room to run around and make their mounds on top.

A little messy but it works well!

Unfortunately, there are not a lot of alternatives. You get about a cup of gel, so think 1/3 or 1/2 of a soda can and imagine how many it would take to fill your farm. For me, that's about 5 of these, or 50 bucks. For an ant farm. Better to use dirt/sand mix from the yard with damp cotton balls for moisture and the occasional sunflower seed for food.
