Ant rasing in the Green House ant farm

In this formicarium you can farm ants Messor barbarus in the amount of 15 to 250 pcs.

You will put a test tube with ants in a given formicarium (into the arena), you will not shake the ants out of the test tube, but you will let them quietly move to the nest.

Advantages of the Green House formicarium

1) Formicarium is dedicated for beginners- easy for use and enought for ant breeding up to two years.

2) The colored finishing of the nest part is unique. Not only due to the aesthetic pattern referring to the motifs of nature, but also due to the fact that the pattern on the plexiglass is printed, not glued (as in the case of other manufacturers) This means that the formicarium is more long-lived.

3) Used screws and caps are rustproof. In case of accidental contact with water, the screws will not rust.

4) The breeder has the possibility of trouble-free observation of the ants (transparent plexiglass), and the ants are provided with darkening (when buying a red protective cover)
