Breeding kit for Atta, Acromyrmex and leafcutter ants:
This expandable starter kit, for all types of leafcutter ants, contains, in addition to the perfectly adapted formicarium, the appropriate equipment to breed this specific type of ant . The 20cm cubes allow comfortable handling during feeding and cleaning. The large connections (27 mm) and the tubes not only make it easy to observe the ants, but they also allow the animals to carry large pieces of leaves. Stainless steel mesh inserts ensure good ventilation and are attack resistant. Even large colonies of aggressive leafcutter ants are unable to attack them. The heavy-duty hose connections are also completely jaw-proof. The thermometer and hygrometer display is inside the system, unobtrusive to ants and allows easy monitoring of climatic conditions. If necessary, the humidity can be increased with the spray bottle.

Our advice: first use a small module (homemade possible, poorly ventilated plastic box, plaster floor, cup over the mushroom to form a micro-climate, stable temperature of 22°C). Once the colony is well developed, install it in the breeding kit and enjoy magnificent observations.

About delivery: To avoid breakage, we import the material from the manufacturer, on a pallet, and redistribute to waiting customers, also on a pallet. We wait until we have at least 2 kits in pre-order to proceed with the import, the delay is generally 1 to 3 months maximum. Important: Upon receipt, check for any breakage before signing the delivery note, otherwise, no compensation will be possible from Fourmiculture or the carrier.

The kit is composed of a tank to raise the colony with the fungus to a growth of several thousand workers and a large volume (30x30cm). In this tank, the humidity must be maintained at its highest level. Then, a dry tank to evacuate the waste or serve as a 2nd mushroom cube if a dump is proposed instead, and a feeding tank to deposit the leaves, the humidity of which must be average. For an easier start, it is advisable to grow the colony in its breeding box provided before transferring it to the large kit when the mushroom is cramped.

LARGE version optional with 30cm and 60cm tanks!
