Description:
The Digfix starter kit is suitable for various species of ants, especially those that nest in sand and in (dead) wood. It can be kept both dry and slightly damp.
The "ANTCUBE - Digfix plate" can be used in the fully transparent farm. The ants dig their tunnels and chambers into the material itself. If necessary, additional modules can be connected via the 50mm holes in the cover, e.g. the separately available foggers, fans or lighting. Alternatively, suitable formicarium stoppers for closing are included in the scope of delivery. Depending on your preference, the formicarium can also be operated openly by simply putting on the removable frame and applying the ant breakout protection oil to its edge. The "drinker 2ml - 360 degrees" is intended for water, the "feed dispenser 2ml - can be dosed" for the feed powder. The "mini thermo-hygrometer analog - display - hanging" can be attached to the frame or the cover and shows the climate values.
Note: The nest can be used in the dry and wet formicarium. If the nest is kept permanently moist (too wet), leftover food can lead to mold growth.
As of March 1st, 2019 - 1x 2ml drinker - 360 degrees, 1x 2ml feed dispenser - added in doses, instead of 1x 45ml drinker - 65mm, 1x round bowl - 30mm
Notes on manufacturing
The glass is cut to DIN 1249 with a tolerance of +/- 1mm. For extremely small ant species, additional escape protection is essential.
Note about the farm
When attaching or removing hoses, the following must be observed:
If the hose fits very difficultly on the connection socket, the socket should be rubbed lightly with a drop of our breakout protection oil or powder. The hose should then be pushed onto the socket by turning or screwing movements without loading the socket with up and down movements. The same applies when removing the hoses from the connection socket on the farm. Please don't just pull it off!
Note on the Digfix: The natural color can vary between green / gray brown and earth brown. The color does not affect the quality.
