Magnification

Exactly what you would expect from a magnifying glass. The magnification depends on the viewing angle; you can magnify up to 6 times, but then the image is a bit less sharp (greater viewing distance). A good sharpness is achieved at 2 to 4 times magnification.

This magnifying glass is particularly suitable due to its large diameter of no less than 7.5 centimeters. This means you don't have to hold the magnifying glass very close to your eye. You can therefore view a sharp magnification from a good distance. Very practical to use!

Examine the hairs of an ant, the thin legs of a stick insect, the gripping claws of a praying mantis up close.

Nature now becomes even more beautiful. You can, of course, also use the magnifying glass to conduct research in nature and examine everything in the garden or in the forest up close.

The set contains 4 pipettes, ideal for using each pipette for a different food source. Two different syringes, with and without a needle. The variant with a needle makes it easy to apply liquid in hard-to-reach places. The variant with the wider tip (5ml) is ideal for plaster and acrylic ant farms.

The various coupling materials ensure that you are never caught off guard. You can also use our closing caps to seal all our products and even connectors and hoses, as they have the same inner diameter.

No stray ants thanks to the escape prevention oil. Ants cannot get a grip on it, useful for applying under the lid of an arena. When you want to remove the lid, the ants cannot easily climb out.

Protect your test tube well with the unique protection sleeve. The queen loves a sheltered and quiet place. The sleeve provides this perfectly.

A complete toolkit that is useful for every ant keeper!

The fruit flies are bred so that they cannot fly.

Introduction  

Follow the instructions very carefully, and within a few weeks, you will have thousands of fruit flies with this culture. Do not use the included fruit flies as food; they are only intended for breeding.

Please note: use immediately upon receipt, as the included fruit flies have a short lifespan.
 

Seed mix

This is a mix of various grass seed types (over 20) and bird seed types. The mix is suitable for all seed-collecting ant species, including those with the scientific names Pheidole and Messor. The Messor ant is also called the harvester ant.

The mix has been put together by us and is also used for our own colonies. A budding colony (up to 30 ants) will have enough of this quantity for at least a year.

Sugar water

A sugar water mixture, specifically intended for ants. It is a supplement to an ant diet of honeydew and live insects (and seeds for Messor and Pheidole).

The price includes a tube and cotton pad, from which the ants can suck the sugar water. Suitable for several months. Offer a few drops of sugar water on the supplied cotton pad in a feeding dish or arena, or use the cotton pad as shown in the picture. Make sure the cotton pad stays moist. Every few weeks, push the cotton pad a little deeper into the liquid with the back of a pencil (for example).

The tube is suitable for reuse.

Honeydew

Please note: store honeydew in the freezer due to shelf life.

A honeydew substitute mixture, rich in nutrients, specially developed by Ant Farm for ants. The nutrient mixture has been extensively tested by us and is suitable for all ant species. It is a supplement to the diet for ants with sugar water and live insects (and for Messor and Pheidole, seeds).

The price includes a tube and a cotton ball, from which the ants can suck the honeydew. Suitable for several months. Offer the honeydew on a cotton ball (drop) and replace it weekly (store the sealed tube in the freezer).

This mixture was developed by Ant Farm, and we also use it for our own ant colonies.

20-50 fruit flies  

Good for beginner ant colonies, young praying mantises, and various frog species due to their nutrients. A combination of fruit flies and sugar water (or honey) is a good basic food for an ant colony!

These fruit flies have been bred so they cannot fly, making them easy to feed to the colony.

The flies are delivered in a test tube and are intended for immediate feeding. They can also be frozen and offered later (for up to several weeks). You can also breed them. In that case, prepare a suitable culture medium in a container and provide paper strips for the flies to climb on. Immediately upon receipt, place the flies in the container with this culture medium.

Please note! We cannot guarantee live arrival of the fruit flies. If you need live fruit flies, you should purchase a fruit fly breeding kit.
