Description:
This Starter Set – Combi is suitable for most species of ants nesting in the ground.
The set is very compact and the included accessories are reduced to the most important.
Therefore, it is an inexpensive set made of high quality materials, which is ideal for beginners in ant keeping.
The included substrate sand – clay beige is well accepted by most burrowing ant species.

Optionally, other soil substrates or nest inserts can be placed in the nest area of the arena.
Under the suggestions (see below) you will find further useful accessories.

Recommendation: We recommend a substrate layer of 2 mm height, so that the animals cannot burrow into the arena and instead use the farm provided for this purpose. We also recommend that the nesting material in the farm (sand/clay, Digfix, etc.) is lightly pricked in one place to make digging easier for the animals.

Important: Please moisten the substrate before use so that the mixture can bind and develop a firm hold in the ant farm. In addition, too dry and dusty substrate can cause the ants’ respiratory tract to be blocked and, in the worst case, the animals may suffocate.

Notice:
When using our nest inserts, please note that they are 8mm narrower, as they were originally designed to fit our narrower ant farms as well as arena inserts! Here the space in between would have to be filled with filler material such as plaster or clay.

Notes on production
Glass is cut according to DIN 1249 with a tolerance of +/- 1mm. For extremely small ant species, additional escape protection is essential.
