Description:
This wall-mounted formicarium set has been developed for wall mounting and is easy to install on wooden and stone walls. Both the arena and the ant farm are fully transparent, allowing a good view of the nest. Either sand and clay or one of our matching cork or Digfix nesting inserts can be used as nesting material for the ants. To connect the ant farm and arena, we have included acrylic tubes cut to size in the set. The screws and plugs for attaching to the wall are also included in the set.
Installation instructions:
Due to the glass panel as a rear wall, the wall underneath should be completely straight.
You will need a drill with a 6mm drill bit (wood, stone or metal depending on the material) to fix the 8 "S6" wall plugs in the wall.
Holes 40mm deep must be drilled into the wall in order to countersink the dowels with the 4x30mm screws.
Required for assembly:
- spirit level
- Adhesive tape to avoid having to mark on the wall below.
- Phillips screwdriver
- Drill/driver depending on the wall
- 6mm drill bit (wood, stone or metal depending on the surface)
- It is also helpful to make a template for the drill holes from a sheet of paper. Simply place it under the back wall and mark the holes.

Notes on production
The glass is cut to size in accordance with DIN 1249 with a tolerance of +/- 1 mm. Additional break-out protection is essential for extremely small ant species.
As our products are manufactured by hand, minimal deviations may occur despite the utmost care.
Note on the farm
Please note the following when attaching or removing hoses:
If the hose is very difficult to fit onto the connection socket, the socket should be lightly rubbed with a drop of our break-out protection oil or powder. The hose should then be pushed onto the socket using twisting or screwing movements without straining the socket with up and down movements. The same applies when removing the hoses from the farm connection socket. Please do not simply pull it off!
