Ant's Kingdom Asteroid (Universe Collection)

The intelligence of ants is from another planet, extraterrestrial! We still only understand a small part of how ants can cooperate so efficiently. The Universe Collection was created to illustrate this supernatural phenomenon. Build your own universe now, starting with this Asteroid and slowly expanding to a complete system!

This ant 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 complete Ant Farm is possible. You first connect another enclosure or nest tube to which the ants move, and then the acrylic nest can be easily unscrewed and rinsed with water.

The nest is easy to expand through the 10 mm opening on the outside. Other enclosures can be connected with hoses.

Feeding Set
