Ant's Kingdom Major

A sleekly designed plaster ant farm forms the heart of this setup. A completely handmade, robust plaster nest, very solidly mounted.
 

Unique Humidity System

The ant farm is specially designed with a unique moisture reservoir. From the center of the nest, you can regulate the humidity with the included syringe. The system is very practical with this unique water supply. 

Layout and Connecting the Major Ant Farm

The chambers in the middle around the moisture reservoir are shallow (4mm), so you can observe the center of your colony well. The chambers on the outside are deeper (7mm), so the worker ants can store their seeds and food supply there nicely. All chambers and tunnels are interconnected. Be amazed at how the ants use and arrange this space, and experience for yourself how intelligent these special animals are!

An opening has been made on both sides to connect the Ant Farm to the test tube with the colony and the feeding dish or arena. Choose an arena (or the feeding dish) to complete your setup!

Ant Colony

Almost all ant colonies can be kept in this nest. Choose a colony above for a special price.

Feeding Set

The diet of a Lasius ant colony consists of a combination of sugar water, honeydew, and fruit flies, and for a Messor colony, seeds are also added. A feeding kit can be ordered above.
