Description

Natural Style Nesting Ant Farm with Digging Sand 

An all-in-one concept for the good of your ants. With this module, you will be able to:

  1. Grow a young colony to about 300-500 individuals (large species) or 600-1000 individuals (small species),
  2. Connect several modules together with a bridge or pipe to continue development,
  3. Make beautiful observations in your hands: 360° observations,
  4. Guarantee the survival of your ants against dehydration,
  5. Prevent any escape,
  6. Prepare the move to a larger anthill or biotope in excellent conditions.

Ideal for: 

Young and intermediate colonies of Messor, tropical ants (Harpegnatos, Carebara, Diacamma, Odontomachus, etc.) and European ants (Lasius, Pheidole, Camponotus, etc.). Suitable for species up to 16mm long.

 

Technical characteristics:

  • Island Concept: place the module in a large container with water for several weeks.
  • Moisture is absorbed by capillary action, the sand becomes moist and does not collapse.
  • All in one: the top is a hunting area.
  • Escapes are prevented by the cover with anti-mite grid.
  • 100% natural with a material specially developed by Fourmiculture for the benefit of ants.
  • Close to natural porous stone, ensures a healthy support, limits bacteria.
  • A totally unique creation, each piece is handcrafted and differs from the others.
  • 1 9mm connecting hole.
  • Dimensions: acrylic cylinder 12cm in diameter and 10cm high + concrete base approximately 3cm high.

 

Usage tips :

  • Choose a well-sealed plastic container or aquarium filled with about 3cm of water.
  • Be creative if you wish and create a beautiful aqua-terrarium 🙂
  • Replace the water regularly.
  • Apply additional anti-escape sealant to the top of the cylinder walls on the inside if you want ultimate protection when opening the lid (our recommendation: Fluon).
  • Place your nest in a warm place or use a heat lamp for optimal conditions (usually 27°C).
  • Connect several modules together if you want to take advantage of this concept on a larger scale and develop your colony for a long time.
