They wanted to see their mom .They did not want to get hurt by the spears .The anteaters are unable to get inside a home .None of the above choices .
Why did they run to the house ?
Soon , there was a colony of hundreds of anteaters which morphed into humans . These anteater tribes people came dashing at us with spears and blow - dart guns so was ran as fast as we could to the house . John could n't get the door open and could n't find the key , but his mom let us in in the nick of time .
