In JumpStart Around the World, Frankie began wearing an outfit consisting of a blue collar red sweater with yellow trim, a V-neck, and the yellow letters "JS" on it. There are several minor changes made to his body, such as his legs being shorter and wider, his ears being floppier, his eyes and nose being slightly smaller, and his snout being thinner. During this era, he was also sometimes depicted with either a blue or brown collar. In many late 90s games, such as JumpStart Math for First Graders, JumpStart Reading for First Graders, and JumpStart 1st Grade (1999), he wears a red vest. He also had long, thin arms and a long body. In JumpStart 1st Grade (1995), Frankie originally had brown fur and wore only a green collar.


By caring for the ants according to the instructions, you should see the best results from the ants and the longest lifespan possible.Īlthough ants need little care, it is still important to keep up certain tasks in order to see the utmost results from your Ant World Farm. Some may expire right away while others may surprise you and live longer than predicted. On average, the ants will live anywhere between a few weeks and a few months. However, without a queen ant and their natural surroundings, the ants cannot survive as long in the Ant World. Always wear gloves when catching ants since the ants can bite or sting, and never mix the caught ants with the ordered ants, as they will only kill each other.Īnts can live as long as a year and sometimes even longer, outside, in their natural habitat. Before putting the ants into their new home, you should put them into the refrigerator for ten minutes or so in order to slow them down and make the transfer go more smoothly.Īnts can also be caught, but it is recommended to use the ordered ants since they are generally larger and tunnel better. It is important to retrieve the ants immediately so as not to let them sit too long in the mailbox. Some may be expired upon arrival, which is not uncommon. Around 25 ants are sent to you in a tube. It is best to order the ants between the months of April and October when the weather isn’t too extreme.
