Breeding Kit for Atta, Acromyrmex, and Leafcutter Ants:
This expandable starter kit, suitable for all types of leafcutter ants, contains, in addition to the perfectly adapted ant house, the appropriate equipment for raising these specific ants. The 20cm cubes allow for comfortable handling during feeding and cleaning. The large connections (27 mm) and tubes not only allow for easy observation of the ants but also enable the animals to transport large pieces of leaves. The stainless steel mesh inserts ensure good ventilation and are resistant to attacks. Even large, aggressive leafcutter ant colonies are unable to attack them. The robust pipe fittings are also completely mandible-proof. The thermometer and hygrometer display is located inside the system, without disturbing the ants, and allows for easy monitoring of climatic conditions. If necessary, humidity can be increased using the spray bottle.

The kit consists of a tank for raising the colony with the fungus until it reaches several thousand worker ants and a significant volume (20x20cm). Humidity must be maintained at its highest level in this tank. There is also a dry tank for waste disposal or to serve as a second mushroom tank if a waste disposal area is provided, and a feeding tank for depositing leaves, which should have a medium moisture content.

LARGE version available as an option with 30cm and 60cm tanks!
