Compact version of the NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space.
The tank comes packed with a non-toxic gel which contains all the moisture and nutrients your ant colony needs to survive.
The gel is designed to encourage the ants to build their own network of tunnels, and because it's transparent, you'll get to watch their every move. Ant architecture isn't limited to the tunnels either, some ants will also use ‘building blocks’ created from the gel to line the walls and form hills on the surface.
The SpaceAnts tank measures 16cm x 12cm x 2cm
Ants! Please note that the SpaceAnts pack does not include ants. You will need to collect ants out and about in the garden. If you find that you are short of ants, a mail-in coupon is enclosed in the pack to allow you to send off for ants. There is a P&P charge for this service.
