3D Printed External Water Feeder for Ant Farm - Hydration Station with Cotton Wick

External Hydration Station for Ant Nests
This 3D-printed feeder provides a safe and efficient way to offer fresh water to your ant colony. It is designed to connect externally to your formicarium, keeping the main habitat dry while fulfilling the colony's hydration needs.

Key Features & Benefits:
◆ Dual Hydration Function:

  • Direct Drinking: Serves as a primary water source for ants to drink from directly.

  • Natural Humidification: Supports the fascinating natural behavior where worker ants use their mouthparts to carry water back to the nest to manually regulate humidity levels.

◆ Safe and Efficient Design:

  • The cotton wick acts as a barrier, allowing ants to access water without the risk of escaping or drowning.

  • It provides a constant and controlled supply of moisture through evaporation and capillary action.

◆ Easy Setup and Maintenance:

  • Simply fill the included test tube with water, insert the cotton wick, and slot it into the 3D-printed holder.

  • The holder is designed to clip or slot securely onto a standard acrylic foraging area.
