Product care

The most important thing is that you read the temperature conditions, moisture and what to feed the ants. It is important not to introduce too small a colony into a large formicarium, much less just one queen. It’s good if the formicarium is divided by partitions and if the first chamber is very small (such as in our Comfort formicarium). We recommend reading more information about keeping ants in our blogs!

Description

Formicarium “SandHill”

The Formicarium “SandHill” is a revolutionary ant habitat designed to provide the perfect environment for Ponerinae ants. With its unique nest and innovative features, this formicarium offers a whole new level of ant-keeping experience. Let’s explore the dimensions, features, and benefits of the Formicarium “SandHill” in detail.

Dimensions

The Formicarium “SandHill” measures 40 centimeters in length, 19 centimeters in width, and 15 centimeters in height. Its spacious design provides ample room for your ant colony to thrive and explore.

Aquarium-Formicarium Hybrid

The Formicarium “SandHill” combines the best features of an aquarium and a formicarium. The nest area, ideal for Ponerinae ants, is constructed with moisture-retaining plaster. This creates a humid and comfortable environment that mimics natural ant habitats, ensuring the well-being and productivity of your ant colony.

Divided Nests

The Formicarium “SandHill” features divided nests that can accommodate an ant colony ranging in size from 30 to 60 workers. These nests provide separate chambers for different activities such as brood rearing, food storage, and waste management. By simulating the natural division of labor within an ant colony, this formicarium promotes healthy and efficient ant behavior.

Ideal for Large Ants

Unlike many formicaria on the market, the Formicarium “SandHill” is specifically designed to house larger ant species. With its spacious dimensions and sturdy construction, this formicarium can comfortably accommodate and support the growth of quite large ant colonies.

Tube Connection Holes

Equipped with two tube connection holes, the Formicarium “SandHill” offers versatility in connecting various modules and expansion options. These connection holes are compatible with three different tube sizes, allowing you to easily customize the layout and expand the formicarium as your ant colony grows.

Multifunctional Design

The Formicarium “SandHill” was originally an aquarium that has been repurposed for ant-keeping. As a result, one side of the formicarium features an empty space that can be utilized as a drinking bowl. Simply pour water into this section, and your ants will have a readily accessible water source within their habitat.

In conclusion, the Formicarium “SandHill” provides the perfect combination of practicality and innovation for ant enthusiasts. Its spacious dimensions, unique nest design, and compatibility with larger ant species make it an ideal choice for Ponerinae ant colonies. With the added convenience of tube connection holes and a multifunctional design, this formicarium offers flexibility and customization options to suit the needs of your growing ant colony. Give your ants the optimal living environment they deserve with the Formicarium “SandHill.”
