Explanation

This carefully curated ant-keeping set provides everything you need to immediately start the fascinating hobby of keeping ants. Ideal for beginners and enthusiasts who want a professional and durable setup.

The sleekly designed plaster ant farm forms the heart of this set. Each nest is completely handmade, robustly built, and equipped with a unique moisture reservoir in the middle, allowing you to easily regulate humidity using the included syringe.

The inner chambers (4 mm deep) are designed for optimal observation of the colony, while the deeper outer chambers (7 mm) are perfect for storing seeds and food. All chambers and tunnels are connected, so you can see how the ants arrange their nest themselves.

Both sides of the nest are provided with connection openings for attaching the test tube nest, the arena, or other modules.

Thanks to our years of experience, we have developed this set as part of our 'Master Series' – a high-quality line of ant farms with maximum durability and functionality. Because each nest is handmade, the color may vary slightly.
