Ant farm gel

Let the ants do their work and watch how a complete structure is created! The ant farm gel is a high-tech living environment for ants. Based on the technique NASA used to study life in a weightless environment. It is completely self-supporting, the beautiful transparent gel serves as food, moisture and shelter. The only thing you need to add to the ant farm (16.5 x 15.2 x 3.2 cm) are the ants themselves.

Included:

- Ant farm gel green, large size
- Ant family with about 15 Spanish worker ants
- Rod to make the first courses
- Magnifying glass
- User instruction
- Manual and booklet 'Ants are heroes' (digital)

How Ant Farm Gel works

How long do ants live in the Gel Ant Farm?
Ants live from a few months to a year. So the age can vary. The worker ants that we supply have to last for a number of weeks to a few months and are guaranteed to dig into the gel. If the ants all die within the first two weeks, we will send replacements free of charge.

How long does the gel last?

The gel from the ant farm is a complete source of nutrition for the ants. Since the ants do not eat much and even dig up the gel waste and reuse it, it is more than enough for an ant family. We also have gel refills available in various colors so you can start over.

Maintenance & care

Maintenance and care are simple:
- No need to feed.
- A few times a week, open the lid slightly for some fresh air.
- Remove condensation and waste if possible.

Ants

This offer includes ants. These are worker ants from Southern Europe that create an underground system of corridors and chambers in nature. The ants are sent in a test tube. They can easily stay in this tube for a week before being placed in the Ant Farm. How to place the ants is explained in the flyer and our booklet 'Ants are heroes'.
