I bought my little boy an ant farm for christmas and was wondering if anyone knows where i'd get some ants from or does anyone have any ants suitable for this?
Thanks guys

Did it not come with a voucher for ordering the ants?

There are usually some to be had on ebay, failing that I think Cornish Crispa supply them.

I would recommend against getting any of the 'commercial' ant farms they are pants, give this site a go on how to set your own up.

I bought my queen ant from cornish crispa on ebay, she's laid loads of eggs waiting for the workers to hatch now
