Ant Castle Ant Farm Introduce young learners to basic ecology, biology, and entomology with a handson habitat that encourages observation and curiosity. The Ant Castle combines a clear acrylic viewing area with a density gypsum composite nest to create a realistic, stable environment for ants and a useful teaching tool for classrooms or home learning. Key features and benefits Clear observation: Thick 5 mm acrylic walls provide wide, unobstructed views of tunnels and ant activity while remaining sturdy for repeated use. Realistic nest material: The nest area is made of a gypsum composite that retains moisture well and supports tunnel stability, creating conditions closer to a natural ant nest. Safer lighting for ants: A builtin red shade over the nest area reduces disturbance and helps ants feel secure while remaining visible to observers. Moisture management: One builtin pool lets you add water to maintain humidity in the nest, supporting more natural behavior. Expansion options: Three expansion ports allow connection to additional modules or external foraging areas for extended habitats. Educational focus: Designed for unplugged learning, the Ant Castle is suited to science lessons, school projects, and curious families.
