Anthill Majora Model 2 3rd Gen. Fourmiculture

Description

Exclusive new generation of the Majora's Ant Hill Model 2!

 

Completely redesigned technology with the Majora's Mask Model 2 ant farm:

– Patented multi-zone reservoir humidification,
– Several weeks of autonomy,
– Easy to repair and disassemble,
– New satin finish + diamond-like polished edges,
– Connection system via hatches,
– Larger feeding areas,
– Reinforced bolting

The Majora Artificial Ant Farm allows you to successfully raise ants directly from a large colony or to raise a small one to its near-maximum size without changing its habitat over the years, regardless of the species (3 to 16mm long)

With its sleek design and large transparent surface, it is ideal when showcasing ants is desired, at home or for public display.

 

Fourmiculturedesign and quality.

Our goal is to combine the well-being of the ants with the enjoyment of the keeper, as one cannot exist without the other. Therefore, our research has been pushed to the limit regarding the materials to be used and the technologies to be implemented.

Each Majora represents a long machining process and concentrates all our experience to ensure its bacteriological balance and durability, while respecting the needs of the ants.

We equipped it with a thermometer with a dedicated probe compartment, mineral substrate at the bottom of the chambers, numerous water reservoirs for efficient management (three-week autonomy), two integrated feeding areas (optional: non-stick coating with near-permanent effectiveness), four connecting holes, and other details ensuring its reliability. We can therefore be proud of every Majora when it leaves our workshop.

Its style and quality allow it to blend seamlessly into the user's home. Its elongated proportions facilitate observation and placement of the ant farm on a piece of furniture, as well as the possible addition of an observation area. It is lightweight for its size, durable, and robustly constructed.

Unconstrained development.

Visually, Majora's Mask offers an extraordinary spectacle, allowing viewers to follow the ceaseless activity of an ant colony and its queen. The larger the colony, the greater the activity and the more varied the behaviors. Species like Messor can develop the largest majors ("soldiers"), and most species will be able to create new queens once the population is sufficient.

Ants sold separately.

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: food management, egg-laying, brood care… The height of approximately 1cm is suitable for the largest species as well as the smallest.

The Majora's numerous chambers are cut from food-grade Plexiglas and designed according to a pattern inspired by natural ant nests. Their generous dimensions allow a very large colony to thrive. It is also possible to house a small colony so that it can develop for a long time without having to relocate it to a larger habitat over the years. Two main corridors supply the chambers with worker ants, making optimal use of space while maximizing ant activity.

A mineral layer is molded into the bottom of the chambers for effective humidity management. This provides a natural substrate for the ants and a healthy bacterial balance. The ant farm remains healthy over the long term, and the ants thrive. The stone-based material used is ultra-smooth, absorbent, and durable.

Patented humidification system for perfect conditions.
An essential element of a well-designed artificial ant farm, the Majora's humidification system consists of a revolutionary humidifier. We developed and patented it with the INPI (French National Institute of Industrial Property).
Adjustable to 10 levels, you can modulate the humidity level according to the size of the colony and its needs (low for Messor, medium for Lasius). For small colonies, humidifying only one side is sufficient.
Making the ant farm habitable is simple:
1/ Fill one of the transparent reservoirs provided,
2/ Place it under one of the wicks in the ant farm for absorption.
3/ The mineral substrate in the chambers becomes humid in less than 1 hour.

The humidity level is easy to monitor thanks to the dark tint of the wet rooms and the water level in the tanks.

Battery life: 3 weeks or more.
Its style and quality allow it to blend seamlessly into the user's home. Its elongated shape facilitates observation and placement of the ant farm on a piece of furniture, as well as the possible addition of an observation area. It is lightweight for its size, durable, and robustly constructed.

2 high-performance feeding areas, decorated by hand.

Two integrated feeding areas.
To feed your ants and observe their behavior outside the chambers, the Majora Ant Farm is equipped with two built-in triangular feeding areas.
The feeding areas are accessible via a laser-cut, ventilated lid. Each feeding area features a unique, handcrafted design inspired by nature.
A ramp allows the ants to move from the chambers to the feeding areas to collect food and dispose of waste.
You can alternate between the two feeding areas, compare the appeal of two food sources, clean one while the other remains in use, and so on.
Their high walls discourage the ants from climbing.

An ideal complement for expanding the ants' outdoor environment and facilitating breeding, we have developed external feeding areas called Observation Spaces. These are connected by a tube and allow for new observations. Our lifetime-guaranteed non-stick coating is applied under the protection of a raised frame for absolute effectiveness.

4 connecting holes for expanded possibilities.

The modular Majora ant farm can be connected to another ant farm once the first is fully colonized, although ants naturally adapt to the available space. Numerous possibilities exist for expanding your setup, such as connecting an Observation Area, without competing with the other connection points. These are located two at the front and two on the sides, using a trapdoor system developed by Fourmiculture.

Made to last.

The Majora is easy to disassemble as it's simply bolted together. Its feeding areas are easily accessible for cleaning and even replaceable. We offer spare parts (lid, chambers, glass) and a refurbishment service at a competitive price if you wish to restore it to its former glory after a few years.
