Antfarm gel

Watch as the ants do their work and dig through the gel like in their normal underground habitat. The ant farm is a high tech environment for the ants. Based on the technique used by Nasa to examine life in a weightless environment. The ant farm is self supporting, the transparent gel provides the ants their food, water and shelter. The only thing you have to add to the ant farm (16.5 x 15.2 x 3.2 cm/ 6.3 x 5.9 x 1.2 inch) are the ants.

What about the ants? 

The worker ants in the gel show how they collaborate and make a labyrinth together, like they do underground.  The worker ant lifespan is from a few months up to a year. The age of the ants may vary. The worker ants that come with the ant-farm should live a few weeks up to half a year and are guaranteed to dig through the gel. When the ants die in the first two weeks or don't dig at all, we will send free replacements.

How long will the gel last?

The gel of the ant farm is a complete food supply for the ants and more then enough for the size of the ant family provided by Ant's Kingdom. Ants don't need a lot of nutrition and even dig up the waste of the gel to reuse it. We also offer gel refills in different colors for when you might want to start over.

 
Maintenance and care

The maintenance and care are simple:
- No need to add nutrition.
- Lift the top cover a few times a week for some fresh air.
- Remove condense and garbage if possible.
 

Ants

These are worker ants from South-Europe who are used to make corridors and rooms in their normal underground habitat. The ants will be send in a test tube. In the test tube they can survive about a week before they are placed in the ant farm. How to place the ants in the ant farm is explained in the enclosed instructions.
