Hi
I have for years wanted a proper ant farm and well now I have the means and cause to get one....
I have had some of those kids ones before and actually there was one called ant world which was brill but I am now upgrading and wanted to know what you guys thought.
Firstly....
Farm going for the glass XL - ant display 40x6x30 cm
Ant - Lassius ??? dont know which one, i have had niger before but was thinking I may get another type...
Soil - Loam but how much for the size of tank im thinking
Hibernation - should I hibernate the queen as soon as she gets here? London still has a fair bit of warm weather to come and was thinking would hibernate her late October to March...
Extras... does the farm come with lids and plugs or will i need to get these too...
Delivery - Is the kit really heavy and would i be able to move the unassembled farm on the tube?
So excited order will go in next weds (payday)
cheers for your advice and this sight is so good...
oh and girlfriend not too pleased!!!


if ur gonna get a lasius colony, might aswell be lasius niger, theres not allot of diffrence between them that can be distiguished by an unexperienced keeper
