Ants are fascinating! Make them a place to live and watch the colony develop
Ants are very intelligent. Like humans make up communities, they collaborate to accomplish tasks. The process of creating an ant farm is fairly simple and is an excellent method to enjoy nature in action without ever leaving your home.
This page will provide useful information on how to take care of ants. We’ve included guidelines for feeding and watering, as well as general care of ants, so they can live longer and are happier inside your garden, or habitat.
1 – Put the ants in the Observatory
They are cold-blooded which is why their metabolism slows down once they become cold. Set the ants inside the refrigerator for around 10 minutes to let them cool down before dumping their bodies into an observatory. It will be simpler and more secure to move the ants to their new habitat. A funnel made of plastic is helpful in helping the ants get to a small area.
2 – Water
To provide better care of your ant farm, offer your ants a couple of drops water each day. Don’t make their sand too wet that the water swells on top of it and they get drowned in it, but give the ants a few drops daily. For your ants to get an additional boost of energy and an actual treat that they will enjoy, mix a pinch of sugar into one teaspoon of water, and feed it to the Ants once every week. Be aware that if you live in a gel ant habitat, you do not have to provide water to your insects.
3 – Food
Ants can eat nearly everything. A few pieces of oatmeal , or any other dry grains are great for. Ants in your habitat won’t eat too often. It is only necessary to add 2-3 tiny pinches of food for them each day or as. We provide packets that contain Ant Food for sales on our website. Note: If you have a habitat for ants that is gel, there is no need to feed the insects.
4 – Temperature
Temperatures that are too high can reduce the lifespan of your Ants. Ants live longer in cool rooms in temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees. Do not keep them in the area that is exposed to direct sunlight since this can increase the temperature in the ant’s habitat to increase.
