Product Summary
The Mini Hearth, Modular is a new product from Tar Heel Ants. This version of our most popular founding formicarium makes the habitats modular with the addition of magnetic attachment sites on both sides of the formicarium. In theory, this allows the Mini Hearth, Modular to be extended out infinitely. Watch the above video for more information.
The Mini Hearth is a founding formicarium intended for queens and small colonies. The Mini Hearth is our smallest formicarium that includes our large water tower and nestmate combination. This makes this an ideal habitat for founding queens as it requires less maintenance and allows the queens to be left relatively undisturbed during their most delicate stage of colony development.
