You buy the ant farm in the toy section of the store. The ones we had as kids were like the small 3rd photo. Then you had to send away for the live ants. They were mailed to you in an envelope. You put them inside the ant farm with the sand already in it and they start to make tunnels throughout. I can't remember what we fed them to keep them alive. Actually, I don't remember them staying alive for very long! Poor little things!
