But it is well made and the ants feel good in it 🙂 the ants actually felt good when unpacking. I can recommend it to everyone!

Price performance, completely OK

Even if the price seems a bit high, I am very satisfied. The delivery takes place in such a way that when you open the box you get the Test tube with the animals immediately sees. All about 20 animals were alive. The instructions are in understandable German with a few charming peculiarities. To fill in the sand, I made a paper funnel and poured a lot more water on it than recommended, but adequate at 36 degrees.
The ants have already started digging at the entrance to the burrow! It is a mega eye-catcher in the office and when work is annoying I look at the ants and am happy that I am not an ant. Feeding top water works too and is really easy to keep the species.

Was a little insecure at the beginning of the purchase, just under 50 € is a lot of money but tit worries were completely unfounded by reading the bad reviews because the situation described there can only come about if you have a bit of wrong ideas about ants no dogs that live in their terrarium, which is nicely prepared and have their own little "ecosystem" there.

The ants then find their way through the sand all by themselves and begin to build a colony in the ant farm starter set.

In a large ant farm, thousands of dark brown insects swarm in a confined space. They bring building material and food and hurry busily on their ant paths through the ant farm. Some animals drag a caterpillar that is several times larger than itself, others climb a tree in a long line to visit aphids, which provide them with sweet honeydew.

Ants are colonizing insects like bees, wasps or termites. All members of such a state are descended from a single queen. She is the mother of the people and the only fertile female. A queen ant can live to be ten to fifteen years old and lays between one hundred and two hundred eggs a day. From this, sterile female ants, the workers in the formicarium, develop through the larval and pupa stage.

The workers take care of the building

The ants workers do all the work in the state. They take care of the queen and the brood, they build the nests, clean them and guard them. In addition, they collect the food for the entire population. In an ant colony, the number of animals fluctuates greatly. Between ten thousand and one hundred thousand animals live in it in the wild. In the case of the driver ants from Africa, it can even be up to two million ants.

Once or twice a year, the eggs do not develop into workers, but rather queens and males. They are equipped with wings and leave the nest in large flocks for the wedding flight. That is why it happens that we have flying ants in the house. After the mating flight, the males die. However, the young queens shed their wings and set up a new state.

Such a queen begins with a tiny nest, lays few eggs and looks after her first offspring herself. Such queens are in an ant farm. Only their hatching daughters relieve them of all the work in the nest until the queen only lays eggs. In the animal community of ants, egg-laying and brood care are carried out by different members. It is always female animals that care for the offspring. The ants adapt to the respective tasks within a state in terms of size and shape.

Ants are widespread and live on every continent on earth. About seventy thousand species are known, two hundred of them in Germany and Austria. You can find them in earth nests, between tufts of grass, on the lawn, in large buddy nests like the wood ants build, or in dead tree stumps. Such wooden nests are built by horse ants.

Small animals and sugary excretions from aphids serve as food. To do this, the ants “milk” the lice with their antennae. It should therefore be clear that “where there are aphids, ants are not far”. Ants are well equipped to hunt animal prey. Knot ants, for example, have a poisonous sting, wood ants are equipped with a poisonous bladder filled with formic acid and glandular ants squirt an insecticidal secretion from their abdomen. A single colony of forest ants can hunt around five kilograms of insects per year, which corresponds to around ten million fly maggots.
