The T-Farm Ant Farm is manufactured from high quality Plexiglas. The integrated nest and viewing arena makes this a very complete ant farm. The farm consists of two parts. The upper part is a nice viewing arena that is tightly closed with the a lid. The lower chamber is the nest. You have the ability to (eventually) connect other viewing arena's and ant farm's, by utilizing the  10 mm openings on both sides. 

The T-Farm is suitable for small and large ant species, including Messor and Lasius. Ant colonies are available on our website. It's very easy to feed the colony with fruit flies, sugar water or honeydew via the lid on top of the viewing arena. Please note that in the beginning the colony will be used to its nest tube (test tube). It will eventually develop from the tube. Growing a colony will take some patience!

The delivered T-farm includes a pouch with sandy loam to fill the T-farm, a bag with rhinestones decoration and a pipette for adding moisture. The T-Farm is a complete ant farm that looks great.
