Description

Nesting-type ant farm with natural style and "cave" effect

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

  1. Develop a young colony to approximately 100-200 individuals (large species) or 400-800 individuals (small species),
  2. Connecting multiple modules together with a bridge to continue development
  3. Make beautiful observations with your hands: 360° observations,
  4. To ensure the survival of your ants against dehydration,
  5. To prevent any escape,
  6. Prepare for the move to a larger anthill or biotope under excellent conditions.

Ideal for: 

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

 

Technical specifications:

  • Island Concept: Place the module in a large container with water for several weeks.
  • Leaks are prevented and moisture is absorbed by capillary action.
  • All in one, the top is a hunting area.
  • 100% natural with a material specially developed by Fourmiculture for the benefit of ants.
  • Similar to natural porous stone, it provides a healthy surface and limits bacteria.
  • Each piece is completely unique, handcrafted, and different from the others.
  • 1 x 9mm connecting hole.
  • Dimensions: acrylic cylinder 5cm in diameter and 10cm high + concrete base approximately 3cm high.

 

Instructions for use:

  • Choose a watertight plastic container or aquarium filled with approximately 2cm of water.
  • Feel free to get creative and make a beautiful aqua-terrarium 🙂
  • Replace the water regularly, especially if the ants throw waste into it to keep the nest clean.
  • Apply additional anti-escape coating to the top of the cylinder walls on the inside if you want double protection.
  • Place your nest in a warm spot 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.
