Kit Features
This ant-keeping kit allows you to closely observe the underground life of ants, which is usually hidden from view.
・The slim design of the ant farm makes it easy to see the shape of the nest tunnels.
・With two colors of sand, you can easily see which sand the ants have moved.
・The spacious feeding area at the top of the ant farm allows for simple ecological experiments, such as observing food preferences or maze experiments.
・Multiple ant farms can be connected to expand the breeding space. (Additional ant farms for connection must be purchased separately.)
・Keeping an observation diary while incorporating experiments can make for an excellent independent research project.
Ants are social insects that maintain their colonies through a division of labor and communication with each other.
It's fascinating to watch them work together to expand their nest, share food mouth-to-mouth with their companions, and groom each other.
Imagine the ants' conversations and enjoy raising them.
