Ant keeping tip

An external water feeder works best in setups where you want to limit frequent nest opening. Check the water level regularly and refill it in small amounts to avoid flooding the arena. During hot periods, consider using two water sources – an external feeder and additional substrate humidification.

What’s next?

To build a complete BlackAnt system, combine the external water feeder with a modular nest (S, M, or L), an arena, and tubing connectors. The feeder will become an essential part of your setup, improving ant comfort while making daily colony care easier.
