This expandable Leaf Cutter Ant starter set, suitable for all leaf cutter ant species, contains the optimally adapted formicarium as well as the right accessories for keeping these ants. The basins allow comfortable handling when supplying and cleaning. The ants can not only be observed well through the large tubes (27 mm), but they also enable the ants to transport large pieces of leaf away.
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 ground can lead to the ants’ airways being blocked and, in the worst case, the animals asphyxiating.
The stainless steel mesh inserts ensure good ventilation and are robust against escape attempts. Even large colonies of very eager leaf cutter ants are unable to penetrate them. The sturdy pipe connectors are also absolutely firm to the bite. The thermometer and hygrometer inside the system allows for easy control of the climate values. If necessary, the humidity can be increased with the spray bottle.
Connecting the set to other products
This set uses XXL connectors (50mm) and 56/60mm tubing
Notes on manufacturing
The glass is cut to DIN 1249 with a tolerance of +/- 1mm. In the case of extremely small species of ants, additional protection against outbreak is essential.
Notes on the farm
When attaching or removing hoses if the hose fits very tightly on the connection socket, the socket should be lightly rubbed with a drop of our breakout protection oil or powder. The hose should then be pushed onto the socket using a turning or screwing movements without loading the socket with up and down movements. The same applies when removing the hoses from the connection socket on the farm. Please don’t just pull it off!
