Ant Feeder with Granary module (Small, Medium, Large)
thingiverse
This is my approach for feeding my ant colonies. Initially, I was using small single trays for every type of food, but the cleaning and refill process proved unnecessarily complicated. Consequently, I developed these three sizes of Ant Feeders, featuring an optional "Granary" Module designed specifically for granivores like Messor barbarus. With this setup, I can simply remove one feeder, clean it, replenish it with fresh food, and reintroduce it to the arena - a much more efficient process. I anticipate that these feeders will be highly durable, provided you use bio-compatible, non-toxic filament when printing them (I've had excellent results with PLA).
