Lasius niger in starterkit xs?

Beitragvon Robinchch » 9. Aug 2013 22:06

Hi guys,

After 2 years i FINALLY decided to buy an ant farm + arena + ants. Due to money i chose for the (somewhat cheaper) starterkit xs from antstore and a Lasius niger queen + 11-25 workers. The distance between the two plates (inside) is 6 mm. Now i am really worrying this might be too small :(. I know the nest will have to be extended Anyway once the colony grows, but is this antfarm for now big enough of not at all?

Please help!!!

Edit:

Extended = expanded

hey! can you post a picture of your setup?

That would help!

Tho some ant colonies can stay in just a singel test tube as a nest for months! ;)

so i guess it will be good for a while!

This sounds way to small the queen won´t fit through the entrance and would´nt be able to turn around between the plates...
I recommend to you to buy this one shop/Ameisen-Starter-Sets-Ameisenfarmen-antfarm/Starter-Sets---Alpha-Ants/Alpha-Ants-Starter-Set---A.html
costs the same but is better for your ants.

You can expand the nest with further formicaria 20x10, 20x20.
Have a look ath these:
shop/Formicarien---Nester/Glasfarmen-Ameisenfarm-Ameisenterrarium-antfarm/Ameisenfarm-Glas-XS-antfarm/

Take care, that distance between plates are no more than 1,2cm, because for seeing the ants inside.
