Description
Extra-fine sphagnum peat, an ideal substrate for European and tropical ants (leaf cutters).
Allows for the creation of healthy and sustainable terrariums with regulated acidity and appropriate humidity.
Fourmiculture 's extra-fine peat is an extremely lightweight, fine, and airy material. It enhances the ants' living environment by providing a suitable building material for lining chambers and tubes. Sphagnum peat is also ideal for filling terrariums, allowing ants to fully construct their nests according to their needs. It absorbs moisture slowly, maintains good aeration, and remains healthy for several years.
Created and used professionally by Fourmiculture to improve the health and management of our breeding stock.
The advantages of our recipe:
- Optimized specifically for ants with mechanical processing to achieve maximum fineness.
- Absorbs moisture slowly and is suitable for most species
- Made in France.
