Ant farm gel

Let the ants do their work and watch a complete structure emerge! The gel ant farm is a high-tech living environment for ants. Based on the technology NASA used to study life in a weightless environment. It is completely self-sustaining; the beautiful transparent gel serves as food, moisture, and shelter. The only thing you need to add to the ant farm (16.5 x 15.2 x 3.2 cm) are the ants themselves.

Included:

- Green gel ant farm, large size
- Ant family with approximately 15 Spanish worker ants
- Stick to create the first tunnels
- Magnifying glass
- User instructions
- Manual and booklet 'Ants are heroes'

How the Gel Ant Farm works

How long do ants live in the Gel Ant Farm?
Ants live from a few months to a year. The age can therefore vary. The worker ants we supply should last several weeks to a few months and are guaranteed to dig in the gel. If all the ants die within the first two weeks, we will send replacements free of charge.

How long does the gel last?

The ant farm gel is a complete food source for the ants. Since ants don't eat much and even dig up and reuse waste from the gel, it is more than sufficient for an ant family. We also have gel refills available in various colors to start anew.

Maintenance & care

Maintenance and care are simple:
- No additional feeding is necessary.
- Open the lid slightly a few times a week for some fresh air.
- Remove condensation and waste if possible.

Ants

This offer includes ants. These are worker ants from Southern Europe that create an underground system of tunnels and chambers in nature. The ants are sent in a test tube. They can easily stay in this tube for another week before being placed in the Ant Farm. How to place the ants is explained in the flyer and our booklet 'Ants are heroes'.
