Ant Farm Sand T-Farm

The T-Farm Ant Farm is made of high-quality transparent plexiglass and is complete because the nest part and arena are integrated. The Farm consists of two parts. The top is a sleek outdoor enclosure, closed with a handy lid. The bottom is the nest part. You have the option (in the long term) to connect another nest or other enclosures to the arena on both sides, as openings have been made on both sides. Even the nest part is expandable through the 2 openings in the base.

The T-Farm is suitable for both small and large ant species, including Messor and Lasius. We expect this product to close seamlessly and therefore be suitable for all ant species! The outdoor enclosure on top makes it easy to feed the colony with fruit flies and sugar water or honeydew. Please note that the colony must initially get used to the new environment and that they continue to develop from the nest tube (test tube). Growing a colony therefore requires some patience.

We supply the T-farm 2.0 including a bag with the sandy loam filling, a bag with decorative gravel stones, a pipette for adding moisture and of course our digital booklet 'Ants are heroes'. The T-Farm is a complete ant farm with a great appearance.
