 "I enjoyed it but it takes a good while for them to grow" 2010-07-12
By Jane Doe (usa)
I was surprised at the negative reviews. I got this a couple years ago for my kids. It did take awhile for the worms to hatch. As I recall they start out as these little seeds and then hatch into these tiny white worms. The hatching took awhile - maybe a couple months in some cases. You can put them in the dirt shortly after that but by then my kids had kind of lost interest. Once you put them in the dirt you don't see them much unless you are feeding them and you move the dirt around. After all, they are worms and that's what worms do...go underground. They don't come to the surface unless they have to. Most all the worms hatched and got to be a pretty nice size before we released them into the wild. I felt bad doing that because I figured the birds would get them and they were safer in the little plastic box. Like the moms who cry at Disney movies, I got attached to the worms. *sniff*



Another reason I liked this toy is that the worms don't fly or crawl around your house and make nests (like ants or butterflies or ladybugs). If any of those creatures got loose in my house I'd probably scream. But worms don't freak me out as much.

 "Never did get worms to hatch." 2010-03-22
By Eric Townsend (Post Falls, ID United States)
This was an initial hit, but the worms never "hatched". The company was nice and sent us another batch to try. These did "hatch" but never grew past the size of a speck. We figured maybe it was because we didn't keep them in ideal conditions although we tried. My daughter ended up putting worms from the garden in it. Once they are buried in the dirt, it was tough for my kids to enjoy watching them. They pretty much ended up digging them up and putting them back in just to see them dig. Overall, it was a bust for us, but your mileage may vary. The quality of the build was nice. My kids still use the hatchery as a general bug catcher and like to put snails in the dirt with plants.

Other Insect Lore products have been great, like the butterfly hatchery. That was a BIG hit and worth every dime. This... not so much so. If you can properly watch over these little guys on a daily basis, maybe it will work better for you.

 "Worst Insect Toy Ever" 2009-05-04
By Amber M. Walker (Petaluma, CA USA)
This is a horrible product. Here is why:

1. It falls apart. All the pieces you see are not attachted. When the kids pick it up it falls apart and everything spills on the floor.



2. You have to wait 4 to 8 weeks for the earth worm eggs, and ours never hatched. The kids were so bummed!



3. You can't fill the nursery with dirt more than half an inch. So even if your earth worms hatched you can't watch them in the dirt.



What a waste of time, the kids were so bummed!

 "Great learning experience!" 2010-05-12
By Pleased Mom (Ames, IA United States)
My son got this for his fourth birthday and it was a huge hit! Not only did he love "taking care" of the beetles at their various life stages, but he also learned a ton. Playing outside this spring (nearly a year later) he found a beetle pupa in the soil and proudly showed it to me and announced what it was.

One note of caution - young children shouldn't do the transporting of the Bug Barn from point A to B, because it can be taken apart from the base. This helps with cleaning when you're all done, but can lead to a mess of spilled bran if bumped really hard (the onlooking two-yr old taught us that!).

 "Insects Everywhere!" 2009-09-27

This little barn does what it's supposed to do, if you do what you're supposed to do. We used it in a classroom to watch the life cycle of a mealworm and the kids loved it!

 "Kids love it, be careful not smash flumsy dome" 2010-08-01
By P. Williams
I picked up something that looks exactly like this from a teacher convention in 1990 and it finally broke. So I ordered this one and was somewhat disappointed. It's exactly the same except for the dome. The first one had a sturdy plastic dome with several magnifying glasses built in. This one has a very, very thin plastic dome (like, blister packs that toys come in) and no built-in magnifying glasses (the cap for the hole in the lid magnifies, though). Still, our kids have tons of fun catching bugs and putting them into the Critter Carnival. If it had the original sturdy hard plastic dome, I'd have given 5 stars.

 "From a praying mantis fan." 2010-01-15
By Aloofite
Do you remember the old plastic Bug Keeper from the 70's? Or maybe the 60's? The one shaped kind of like a bottom-heavy hourglass? With a neon top and bottom? ... No?! ...

Well, I would say this is the next best thing-- but it's even better.

 "Great bug house" 2009-02-27
By Victoria Sutton
Easy to use and store - this bug house is fun to own. I've given it to kids of various ages, and when combined with a butterfly net and possibly a book for identifying what's seen in nature, this is a terrific kit/gift!

 "Great for arthropod lovers!" 2008-09-05
By Occasional Reviewer (United States)
We can't get enough of these habitats! They are so convenient! We usually have three on hand, with one always in the minivan. They work so well because they fold down and go in a storage bag when not in use so that they can be stored almost anywhere very easily. They give whatever is in them a nice airy environment, and the white mesh and clear top make for pretty unobstructed viewing. The only drawback is that the mesh, as can be expected, is not the sturdiest of materials and can be ripped. We have taped a couple of small tears back together, but they do eventually become beyond repair. However, for the price and the fun, good use that is gotten from them, they are a great buy.

 "Excellent Bug Box" 2008-05-07
By AJW (Pittsburgh, PA)
My son is an avid bug catcher and he has had one of these for two years now. He is hard on his toys, especially bug paraphernalia. It's EXCELLENT construction and is great for storing bugs/bees/butterflies/etc. It's held up really well over the years. It's not the one that comes with caterpillars - this is just the container, but definitely worth it.

 "Good Buy" 2010-05-03
By benji
This is a really cool product. I think that every kid should have one of these. I am shocked at how many people have never owned one. I am 24 and am still captivated by my ants. It is not a toy that can be handled, but the toy can teach children (and adults)a lot about life and responsibility. It is fun to watch the ants solve their problems and dig their tunnels. It is perfectly safe as long as you follow the directions and the ants do not need a queen to survive.Buy one of these or any ant farm for that matter and you will not be disappointed. After I showed all my friends and family everyone always wants to see pictures and a couple people have ordered their own.

 "arnt ants suppost to TUNNEL!?!" 2010-04-18
By E. davidson
recieved ants in about 2 1/2 weeks, have had them for about a day and a half...it took them a while to get on the same page, some ants would take sand out, and others brought it back in (werent very team oriented). they seem to be discarding sand, not really making tunnels, like i thought they would. they are just creating huge gaps in the and removing ALL the sand from the sides and off the top. if they keep at it, there wont be any sand left for them to tunnel through! they are very entertaining to watch for both myself and my 3 yr old, i just wish they'd do more tunneling and less "shoveling"! i think next time i will be getting one of those ant farms, like they made when i was a kid (...one that they couldnt "toss" all the sand out of!)

 "A fun ant experience" 2010-01-02
By A. Theis (Marland)
My grandmother bought this for my daughter. We sent away for the ants in winter thinking that they wouldn't send them until spring. WRONG! They arrived on December 24th and our mailperson left them in freezing temperatures on the front porch. Fortunately, they weren't there long and all survived. Much to our delight our shipment of ants included one pupae and one larva ant. My daughter was absolutely delighted. She's spent a lot of time with a magnifying glass observing the ants. It is facinating watching the ants tunnel. The only drawback of the toy is that it does look like it is challenging for the ants to climb the hill and will sometimes fall down. They don't appear to be harmed. We are hoping they survive longer than the 2-4 weeks stated in the brochure.

 "So fun! Great for Science Project..." 2009-04-16
By E. Clark (Hillsboro, OR)
Would have given it 5 stars but we've had a difficult time getting old peices of food out of the bottom. They are turning moldy after two weeks. Hope it's not a bother to the ants... kind of gross to look at!

Still, it's an educational toy and a great way to bring the outdoors in :)

 "AntHill - Where was this when I was a kid, dangit?" 2008-04-18
By Hedge (Bakersfield, CA)
I remember doing that old ant farm kit when I was little (too long ago now, I know) and saw this new-style ant hill next to that ant farm on a store shelf. That old ant farm hasn't changed in (okay, I'm admitting it here) over 30 years! The new dome-like style of this one, and the idea that we could see what the ants were doing both above ground and below ground appealed to us. We did buy both styles though - my kids wanted to try them all (the AntHill was the better of the two, even though I admit to rooting for the old-school style out of pure nostalgia. I won't say anything bad about the ant farm one here, I'm not here to knock it. The ants lived a lot longer in the AntHill, is all). The ants tunneled out the flat "underground" side of the habitat, and foraged for the food we put in on the rounded "aboveground" side. Very cool! The instructions had some ant facts and a few good links to information on ants and insects on the web. Our ants lived to finish tunneling, and were just kind of resting with their project all completed, so we planned a picnic-trip to the park and released them there with one last chunks-of-sandwiches buffet. Fun, educational and interesting - everything I was hoping for when I opened my wallet to buy this one.
