Harold's Red Ant Farm



Harold's Red Ant Farm is an ant farm that Harold brought with him to Camp Wawanakwa. The ant farm only appears in one episode during Total Drama Island, which was Not Quite Famous, when Gwen used it to get revenge on Heather for stealing and reading her diary during the talent show. While Heather was sleeping, she went and asked Harold if he brought an ant farm and asked if she could borrow it. She then dumped the red ant farm into Heather's bunk. She ran out screaming and was angry at Gwen in the next episode. The ant farm originally appeared in the Camp TV promo, when Lindsay gets attacked by it. It seems to still belong to Harold in the promo.

The main difference between the promo and Total Drama Island is that in Total Drama Island, Gwen dumped it on Heather's bed on purpose, where as in the promo, it is presumed that it was an accident as Harold does not know where it is as he says "has anyone seen my red ant farm?" It's unlikely that Harold still owns the same farm in Total Drama Action, because Gwen had used it to prank Heather in the first season, and the ants probably escaped. It is possible that Harold bought a new red ant farm for the second season, and simply didn't bring it with him, or failed to find a replacement farm.
