Description:
This starter set Digfix, is suitable for all ant species. It can be kept both dry and slightly damp.
The "ANTCUBE - Digfix plate" can be placed inside the entirely transparent ant farm. The ants dig their passages and chambers into the material itself. Via the 50mm bores in the cover further modules can be added, like the separately available fogger, fan or lamp socket. Alternatively the bores can be blosed by the included plugs. The Formicarium can also be used without a cover, simply by putting on only the removable frame that has previously been treated with ant escape protection oil. The "drinking trough 45ml - 65mm" is provided for water, the "Dish round - 30mm" for dry powders. The "Mini thermo- hygrometer analogue - Display - hanging" can be attached at the frame or the cover and shows the klimatic data.
Note: The nest can be used in dry and humid formicarium. If the nest is kept permanently moist (or too wet), food residues may lead to mold growth.
Stand 18.03.2019 - 1x drinking trough 2ml - 360 degrees, 1x feed dispenser 2ml - dosing added, instead of 1x drinking trough 45ml - 65mm, 1x Dish round - 30mm
Note about production
The glass is cut according to DIN 1249 with a tolerance of +/;- 1mm. With extremely small ant species, additional ant escape protection is essential.
Note about the ant farm
The following must be observed when attaching the flexible tubes:
If the flexible tube is very difficult to fit on the connector socket, the socket should be lightly rubbed with a drop of our ant escape protection oil or powder. The flexible tube should then be pushed onto the connector socket by turning resp. screwing without loading the socket with up and down movements.
Note about Digfix: The natural colour tone can vary between green/grey brown and earth brown. The colour tone has no influence on the quality.
