   • Worker Body Length: Approximately 2 mm.
     工蚁体长: 约2毫米。

2. Suitable Temperature and Humidity (适宜的温度、湿度):

   • Temperature: Prefers a temperature range of 25-28°C.
     温度: 适宜温度范围为25-28摄氏度。
   • Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity levels, around 60-75%.
     湿度: 需要中高湿度水平，约60-75%。

3. Nesting Recommendations (巢室推荐):

   • Nest Type: Prefers subterranean nests with well-ventilated tunnels.
     巢型: 偏好地下巢穴，具有良好通风的隧道。
   • Environment: Should be kept in a substrate that mimics their natural habitat, such as a mix of sand, soil, and leaf litter.
     环境: 应保存在模拟其自然栖息地的基质中，如砂土与叶层的混合物。

4. Food Sources (食物来源):

   • Diet: Omnivorous; feeds on a variety of small insects, seeds, and plant material.
     饮食: 杂食性；以多种小型昆虫、种子和植物材料为食。

     补充喂食: 可以用富含蛋白质的食物，如面包虫、果蝇和蜂蜜水溶液进行补充。

5. Other Maintenance Tips (其他饲养建议):

   • Temperature Control: Ensure the ambient temperature is maintained consistently within the preferred range.
     温度控制: 确保环境温度稳定保持在适宜范围内。
   • Humidity Maintenance: Regularly mist the habitat to maintain appropriate humidity levels.
     湿度维持: 定期为栖息地喷水以保持适当的湿度水平。
   • Ventilation: Provide adequate ventilation to prevent mold growth while maintaining humidity.
     通风: 提供充足的通风以防止霉菌生长，同时保持湿度。
   • Safety: Handle with care to prevent escape, as Carebara species are small and can be delicate.
     安全: 小心处理以防逃逸，因为木盲切叶蚁体型较小且易损。
