Ant's Kingdom Galaxy (Universe Collection)  

The intelligence of ants is out of this world, extraterrestrial! We still only understand a tiny bit about how ants can cooperate so efficiently. The Universe Collection was created to illustrate this supernatural phenomenon. Build a complete universe for your ants, expand your setup with this ridiculously large ant farm... the flagship of the series... the Galaxy! The world's first acrylic ant farm with a length of one meter!

The farm is perfectly suited for both small and medium-sized colonies of species such as Lasius, Myrmica, Pheidole, Messor and Formica.

These nests are equipped with a foam part, which keeps the nest moist for about 1 week. To moisten the nest, you can wet this foam (syringe included). It absorbs and distributes moisture without the risk of flooding chambers and tunnels. The foam must therefore remain moist so that the ants find a good environment in this nest.

The system is very practical with this unique water supply. Even cleaning the entire Ant Farm is possible. You first connect another enclosure or nest tube where the ants move to, and then the acrylic nest can be easily unscrewed and rinsed with water.

The nest is easily expandable through the 10 mm opening on the outside. Other enclosures can be connected with tubes.

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

Feeding set
