Ant Oasis Foam – 3 blocks

Description

Description of the Oasis foam for ants:

Oasis Foam for Ants is a material commonly used in flower arranging for its ability to retain water and keep flowers fresh. However, it is also commonly used as a digging substrate for ant colonies or as a water supply.

Benefits of Oasis Foam for Ants:

1. Hydration: Oasis foam has an exceptional water-holding capacity, making it a great way to hydrate your ant colonies. By maintaining an optimal humidity level, Oasis foam helps create a comfortable environment for ants as a substrate or to retain water near the nest.
2. Ventilation: The honeycomb structure of the foam allows good air circulation, which is essential to maintain a healthy environment for ants. This ventilation also helps prevent the formation of mold and other moisture-related problems.
3. Ease of placement: Oasis foam is easy to cut and mold, allowing you to create galleries and chambers to suit the size of your colony. You can thus customize the space according to the needs of your ants.

Tips for using foam:

1. Preparation: Before using the Oasis foam for your ants, it is possible to clean it to remove any residue. To do this, soak the foam in water for several hours, then rinse it thoroughly.
2. Cutting and shaping: Use a sharp knife to cut and shape the Oasis foam to the desired dimensions. As a digging substrate, consider creating a first gallery to encourage ants to go there.
3. Hydration: To maintain an optimal humidity level, regularly sprinkle the Oasis moss with water. Be careful not to moisten it too much to avoid the formation of mold. You can maintain a halo of humidity and the rest rather dry for seed storage at Messor. For Lasius flavus, do not hesitate to moisten completely. The color contrast will also be more aesthetic.
4. Monitoring: Regularly monitor the state of the Oasis moss and the activity of your colony. Replace the foam if it begins to break down and absorb less well.
