ANTCUBE Starter Set – 20×20 – Meadow

Availability: Sold Out

This starter set Meadow is suitable for all species of ants that build their nests in meadows or fields.

In the fully transparent farm (nest), the "Soil - Meadow" is used to fill the farm. If required, additional modules can be connected via the 50mm holes in the cover, such as the separately available foggers, fans or lights. Alternatively, matching Formicarium plugs are included to close the openings. Depending on your preference, the formicarium can also be operated open by simply placing the removable frame on top and applying ant escape protection oil to its rim. The "Drinker 2ml - 360 degrees" is intended for water, the "Food dispenser 2ml - dosable" for the carbohydrate and protein powder. The "Mini Thermo- Hygrometer analog - display - hanging" can be attached to the frame or the cover and displays the climate values.

Description

Reviews

Recommendation: We recommend a substrate layer of 2 mm height, so that the animals can not burrow in the arena and instead use the farm provided for this purpose. We also recommend lightly pricking the nesting material in the farm (sand/clay, digfix, etc.) in one place to make it easier for the animals to start digging.

Important: Please moisten the substrate before use so that the mixture can combine and develop a firm hold in the ant farm. In addition, too dry and dusty substrate can lead to blocking the respiratory tract of the ants and, in the worst case, the animals suffocate.

Note:
When using our nest insets, please note that these are 8mm narrower, as they were originally designed to fit our narrower ant farms and arena inserts! Here the interspace should be filled with filling material such as gypsum or loam.

Note about production:
The glass is cut according to DIN 1249 with a tolerance of +/;- 1mm. For extremely small ant species, additional ant escape protection is essential.
