Hi everyone,
The instructions are in German, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm looking through this forum, and people are talking about a drainage tube - I don't think this was included in the starter pack?
What do I need to get additionally to set up?
I'd really appreciate your help on this as I'm a bit clueless on how to start.
Thanks very much. :)
What exactully you are looking for ? Drainage tube ? ;)
Thought I'd resurect this topic rather than start the same again. Antstore starter kits do not come with drainage tubes and yet you're supposed to use one? What am i supposed to do instead? here is everything that's included

1x glass M - antfarm 25x2x15 cm with 2x 8/10mm socket connectors
1x glass tank 25x15x15 cm with 10mm holes

1x potions (10ml)
1x Ameisennapf 2-fold

Are you sure it's missing? The drainage tubes look like this:

....Yes i'm sure it's not there, although as i said it does not say it SHOULD be there (although i don't know what a Ameisennapf is). I checked the contents against the list both in the box and online
The Ameisennapf is a food bowl. You could build your own drainage tube by using a 25cm part of the 1m clear hose.
You could also use an drinking straw. You can buy that at the local supermarket or get some from a bar or something. Don't forget to close it with some cotton on the top so that the ants don't fall into it and drown or use at a nest or something.
