Description
The Medium Model 1 anthill: A spacious habitat with natural chambers.
Built on its replaceable humidifier in reinforced plaster and milled Plexiglas base, the Medium provides healthy natural support to ants for optimal development. It also offers:
- Precise humidity management with 2 different reservoirs and 4 humidity zones,
- a feeding area with a long-lasting standard anti-escape coating (without oil or talc.
- Very high quality manufacturing in France from 100% French and EU parts and raw materials.
- A design with matt white Plexiglas and crystal edging.
- Often copied, never equalled.
- Finished with edges shining like a diamond.
Inspired by natural anthills to optimize their use, the chambers are cut from food-grade satin Plexiglas to give them height. They are numerous to allow a colony to develop there for a long time, whatever its species from 3 to 16mm long. The long central tunnel with two exits to the feeding area maximizes ant activity and improves space utilization.
All the activity of the colony usually invisible in the underground chambers is revealed through the perfectly transparent glass and its secret organization takes place freely there: management of food, laying, brood care... The height of about 1cm is suitable for larger species as well as smaller ones and can accommodate more than a thousand Messor or thousands of Pheidole, i.e. more than two years of development.
Ants sold separately.
2 Humidity Level – Innovative hybrid humidifier.
The humidification system of the Medium consists first of 2 foam pads in which to inject the water. Then, the moisture is absorbed by the mineral floor of the chambers and will make 2 damp chambers on the left and 3 damp chambers on the right. Thus, the ants can choose the humidity they need, which allows the Medium to adapt to almost all species.
– Visual management of the humidity level (light or dark shade),
– Significant autonomy (from 1 to 3 weeks depending on conditions),
– Excellent management of humidity and static electricity,
– Natural and unassailable materials, smooth and absorbent,
More ecological and economical design:
– About 50% less Plexiglas and 50% more natural materials.
– Fully replaceable to renovate the anthill over time.
You will therefore have the possibility of modulating the humidity rate according to the size of the colony and its needs (low for Messor, medium for Lasius). For small colonies, moistening only one side is sufficient.
A Feeding Area with quasi-definitive anti-escape.
In order to feed your ants, the Medium Anthill is equipped with a very practical rectangular Feeding Area, accessible by a recessed cover. Laser-cut micro-grids renew the air and allow the ants to feel free. A laser engraving authenticates our creation and each time a different decor is made by hand, inspired by nature.
Its high walls have the advantage of preventing ants from climbing, even in the absence of the cover, thanks to an anti-escape layer with very long-lasting effectiveness.
Wishing to propose a third solution to extend the external environment of ants and facilitate breeding, we have developed external feeding areas called Observation Spaces. They are connected by a pipe and allow new observations. Our non-stick treatment is applied under the protection of a high frame for absolute effectiveness guaranteed for life.
With optional 25x15cm Observation Space
An anti-stress Hyperfilter for your Ants (optional).
Ants live comfortably in ambient light. However, in case of strong light or during your working day, you can choose to put your ants in darker conditions thanks to an innovative optical filter.
Made of Fluorescent Plexiglas®, the Hyperfilter absorbs light and transmits part of it by fluorescence effect through the edge. The remaining light that passes through the filter is barely visible to ants who cannot distinguish red and feel protected.
New intelligent linking system. Open or closed?
The Medium has everything to please the Ants but it is not limited to that.
Thanks to our new intelligent connection system, it is possible to go further and complete it with an Observation Space, connect a second Anthill or any accessory compatible with a 9mm pipe. This factory-made connection system is reliable and practical thanks to its 2-position partitions (Open or Closed) which replace the usual rubber stoppers. This system even makes it possible to manage traffic without disconnecting the accessory in place (external feeding area, tube, etc.): simply turn the partition in one direction or the other to authorize or prohibit passage! Ideal for extending the environment of your ants.
Sustainable and eco-designed.
The Medium Model 1 anthill is removable because it is simply bolted.
Its feeding area is easily accessible for cleaning. We offer spare parts (cover, glass) as well as a refurbishment service for less than a quarter of its price if you want to restore it to its full shine after a few years.
Wishing to ensure that the Medium Model 1 anthill exceeds your expectations, it benefits from meticulous attention before leaving our workshop located in the Alps. An Eco-Gesture that pays off:
Because a high quality product will always have value, we will take back your Medium anthill after use to give it a new life and will offer you a voucher for €30 or a check for €20 (depending on the conditions in force) .
______________________________________________________________________________
Test it for 30 days in real conditions. If you were not convinced by its qualities, send it back at our expense, we will reimburse you 100% (see conditions)!
