    Not actually sure what the gel is made from but I know that it contains all the food and water that you need.

    here is another picture of the ants for you lot.

    Lol what a quality thread! I'd love to get a few of these farms and put them together to make one big farm then introduce the ants!

    lmao, great thread mate, really good idea - so going to buy one when I get some money think i might have to get three and loop them at the bottom of each farm, then have 3 colonoys - see what happens when they meet up haha

    Glad you all like it, Ir eally cant wait till my extra pot of ants come through the post, just put my farm on the window so it gets the sunlight, it sends the ants into overdrive and they actually dig, maybe they have seasonal affective disorder

    Could you perhaps keep them there then and then move the web cam so they are digging loads?

    More response from the ant people when asking about getting queens:
    asked them if I would be better of waiting another month would I have better chance of getting queen:

    Dear Ian, Yes the colonies are more likely to be nearer the surface from May
    onwards.Best wishes Philip

    Looks like I'll have to wait a while more to ensure a queen...?

    There is no point in really waiting for a queen, I am hoping that my second batch of ants will increase the speed at which digging occurs. Its really annoying have to wait for the ants so I am gonna upload the order form for you all so you can order the ants before you get the farm

    Give me 15 minutes.

    I didn't think there was a point in introducing a queen to such a small environment. After a few weeks or so surely there'll be no food left and a shed load of eggs or new ants?? They'll probably pop the lid off and crawl out all over your bedroom! I hope the colony isn't near your bed!

    I'm sure they don't multiply THAT fast! If they do then I'll just have to get a small ant-eater as a 2nd pet...
