Description:
This starter kit cork, with prefabricated aisles and chambers, is especially suited for diverse ant species, especially for species nesting in (dead-/rotten-)wood.
The "ANTCUBE - corknest" can be placed inside the entirely transparent ant farm. The "soil - sand loam mixture beige" can be used to fill the farm or to close some chambers of the cork nest. 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 grids and 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 2ml - 360 degrees" is provided for water, the "feed dispenser 2ml - dosing" for dry powders. The "Mini thermo- hygrometer analogue - Display - suspended" can be attached at the frame or the cover and shows the klimatic data.
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.
Notes about the ant farm
The nest is to be used only in dry Formicarium. If the nest is kept permanently damp, the material can get moldy.
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.
