Ant Farm Sand T-Farm

The T-Farm Ant Farm is made of high-quality transparent plexiglass and is complete with an integrated nest and outworld. The Farm consists of two parts. The top is a sleek outworld, closed with a convenient lid. The bottom is the nest part. You have the option to connect other nests or habitats to both sides of the outworld (eventually), as openings are provided on both sides. Even the nest part can be expanded through the 2 openings in the base.

The T-Farm is suitable for both small and large ant species, including Messor and Lasius. We expect this product to seal seamlessly, making it suitable for all ant species! The outworld on top makes it easy to feed the colony with fruit flies, sugar water, or honeydew. Please note that the colony needs time to get used to the new environment at first, and they will develop further from the test tube. Raising a colony therefore requires some patience.
We supply the T-farm 2.0 including a bag of sand-loam filling, a bag of decorative gravel stones, a pipette for adding moisture, and of course our digital booklet 'Ants are heroes'. The T-Farm is a complete ant farm with a great appearance.
