Unique watersupply

We carefully designed the ant farm with a unique watersupply. From the centre of the ant farm you can add water with the enclosed syringe, to arrange the best humidity levels for your kind of ants. This unique watersupply makes this ant farm very practicle.

Adaptation General  antfarm

In the middle of the ant Farm surrounding the watersupply the chambers are very shallow (approximately 4mm), this way the colony is easy to observe. The chambers on the outside of the nest are deeper (approximately 7 mm) ideal for the workers to stack their food supply and seeds. All the chambers and corridors are connected to each other. Amaze yourself and watch how the ants make the nest their home and experience how intelligent these extraordinary animals are.

On both sides off the nest we have made an opening which makes it easy to connect the nest testtube with the colony and for example an arena or nutrition bowl. Choose your arena (or nutrition bowl) to complete your setup, we will add the parts to connect them for free.

Ant colony

Mostly all ant colonies are appopriate to keep in this ant farm. Above you can add a colony for a discounted price. We always advice to also start with an arena/nutrition bowl. The ants will learn to get their food from the arena and bring their garbage there.

Nutrition set

The diet of ant colonies may vary. Most common ants like Lasius niger and Messor barbarus have a diet consisting of sugarwater, honeydew and fruit flies and the Messor colony add seeds to their diet. Choose your nutrition set above.
