Ant Plaster Nest + Breeding Starter Set

【Immediate Purchase OK!】

Thank you for viewing!

[Product Description]

This is a vertical gypsum ant farm that is almost equivalent to products sold at Ari Shop for over 8,000 yen.
It comes with a queen's chamber, so even if you haven't caught a queen ant yet, you'll be prepared for any chance encounters!
To provide water, use the included dropper from the back. Tap water is fine, but avoid touching the gypsum to check dryness, as this can cause mold.
There are two 8mm external diameter holes, allowing for easy relocation or re-establishment of the nest.
The bolts are made of stainless steel, so they won't rust from watering.
The nest is fixed to the observation surface, preventing escapes.

The estimated usage period is 2-3 years, but this may vary slightly depending on the environment and the colony's condition.

[How to Use and Precautions]

1. Before use, be sure to moisten the gypsum-filled case with the included dropper. Do not overwater. While some species may not require watering, it is generally necessary.

2. Place the queen ant in the included gypsum chamber and attach the feeding area with a tube.
Queen ants do not need to be fed until workers are born. If you are concerned, you can offer commercial honey.
Important: Never put food directly into the gypsum-filled case, as this can cause mold. When feeding, use the non-gypsum case and provide food in aluminum foil or a modified bottle cap.

3. Once workers are born and the starter is becoming too small, connect the gypsum chamber to the vertical gypsum nest. Attach the feeding area to the other side.
Before using the gypsum nest, water it from the back. Overwatering can lead to condensation, mold, drowning of eggs, and colony collapse, so be careful.
