This expandable starter set for various weaver ant species such as Polyrhachis spec. or Oecophylla spec. includes not only the optimally adapted formicarium but also the appropriate accessories for keeping this ant species. Suitable for colonies of up to approx. 500 animals.
For larger colonies we recommend the 30x30x60cm formicarium.
The “Drinking trough 2ml – 360 degrees” is intended for honey/sugar solution, the “Drinking trough clear 20ml – sponge” for water.
The “Mini thermo-hygrometer” can be attached to the frame or the cover and displays the climate values.
Important: Please moisten the substrate before use so that the mixture can bind and develop a firm hold in the ant farm. If the substrate is too dry and dusty, the ants’ airways may be blocked and, in the worst case, the animals may suffocate.
Connecting the set to other products
This set uses 27mm holes and can be connected using a 27mm connector
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!
