Description: Both feeding area and nesting areas are about 4.5cm wide (inner diameter measurement) The feeding area has a lid with a mesh that allows for ventilation. This lid sits flushed on top of the feeding area and is meant to be easily lifted up, as to prevent vibrations to the nest, because vibrations and movement will cause extreme stress to ants. The nest area has a translucent flat lid, not to be removed unless necessary, because it really disturbs the ants. Slowly* drop a few drops of water into the side slot of the farm to fill the hidden reservoir to raise humidity inside of the nest. The color of the plaster will darken when wet. Since everyones home & surrounding environment is different- as long as the entire hidden reservoir area is darken evenly, this means there is enough water inside. Just continue to add a drop or 2 at a time every week or so (depends on your environment) so keep the humidity up in the nest. To start just add 1 drop at a time and wait about 3-5 seconds before adding the next drop - until the color of the plaster has changed evenly across pH balanced Plaster (nontoxic material - safe for ants) is used because it mimics natural hard soil & its ability to absorb just enough moisture without getting mushy/ soft The inner passage hole has a diameter of 0.7cm, this nest is ideal for most species of ants. Please double check / research your ants size before purchasing. There is a connector hole (1cm diameter) that can be used to connect this piece to other farms to expand or transfer your ants when needed. The lid may feel loose, but it covers the entire perimeter opening of the outworld and sits flushed downwards so there shouldn't be any escapees. The lid is meant to be easily lifted for this set up because since the set-up is small, it is very easy to cause vibrations to the nest when touched. Please note- Some customers have been taping the lid down for a piece of mind. The way this lid fits is really not everyones liking. NO ants or any insects are included. Sale of Live insects like Ants are prohibited. * Video in the listing is from a generous customer that let us use it in our listing!
