We understand the importance of connectivity for your ant colony, which is why our “Giant” formicarium is equipped with two holes specifically designed for 10mm tubing. These holes allow you to connect the formicarium to an external foraging area or to other formicaria in your ant setup.

In addition, the formicarium features three watering chambers, ensuring that your ant colony has access to a stable water source. Proper hydration is essential for the overall health and productivity of your ant colony, and our formicarium provides a convenient solution.

Recognizing the need for expansion as your ant colony grows, the “Giant” formicarium includes two shifts that can be easily adjusted to increase the living space available to your ants. This unique feature allows your ants to continue their natural behaviors without feeling cramped or restricted.

Recommended Ant Species and Colony Size:

The “Giant” formicarium is specifically designed to accommodate medium and large ant species such as Camponotus fellah, floridanus, ligniperda, and maculatus. These ant species require a substantial amount of space for their colonies to thrive, making our “Giant” formicarium the perfect choice for housing them.

We recommend starting your colony in the “Giant” formicarium with 20-40 worker ants. This initial population size ensures that there is an established workforce to support the growth and development of the colony. As your ant colony expands, the formicarium has the capacity to accommodate approximately 1000-1500 ants.

Customizable and Unique:

Each nest within the “Giant” formicarium is adorned with a unique colored sticker. This feature allows you to easily identify and track individual colonies within your ant setup. If you have a specific color preference for your formicaria, please contact us to inquire about availability before placing your order.
