Observe an ant colony up close without disturbing its daily life. This compact, self-contained ant farm lets you watch ants dig tunnels, build chambers, and interact in a natural-like environment while the colony’s routine remains intact. Key benefits Non-intrusive observation: Clear front visor provides continuous viewing without opening or disrupting the nest. Natural-feel habitat: The living area is made of plaster to simulate a more natural substrate for burrowing and tunnel formation. Low-maintenance hydration: Built-in water tank reduces how often you need to top up moisture, supporting colony health for weeks at a time. Compact and display-ready: Small footprint fits on a desk, shelf, or classroom table for education, hobby observation, or display. Product features and specifications Overall size: 3.5 x 2.7 x 4.3 inches (90 x 70 x 110 mm). Activity area: 3.5 x 2.7 x 2.1 inches. Living area: 3.5 x 2.7 x 2.2 inches. Viewing: Transparent front visor for undisturbed observation of ant behavior. Living area material: Plaster-based substrate to mimic a natural burrowing environment. Water tank: Filling opening on the right side of the living area; capacity approximately 20 ml. One fill typically meets about 3 weeks of moisture needs. Do not overfill to avoid overflow. Practical use scenarios Home education and curiosity: Use as a hands-on learning tool to teach children about insect behavior, ecosystems, and responsibility. Classroom demonstration: Compact enough for individual or small-group observation during biology lessons and science projects. Hobbyist observation and display: Suitable for ant-keeping enthusiasts who want a clean, contained setup for watching tunnel formation and colony interactions. Simple care and usage notes Fill the water tank via the right-side opening. Approximately 20 ml provides moisture for roughly three weeks; top up as needed. Avoid overfilling the water tank to prevent overflow. Designed for observation without opening the nest frequently; minimize disturbance to allow natural colony behavior. What makes it stand out Purpose-built for viewing and learning: The combination of a clear viewing visor and plaster living area gives reliable visibility and a realistic burrowing substrate. Compact, self-contained design: Small dimensions and integrated water storage make it easy to place and maintain in homes, classrooms, or display areas.
