Ant Starter Kits

Discover modular ant-keeping kits for different stages of colony growth. Choose a setup that suits the colony you have, rather than buying the largest available enclosure.

Choose the right kit

  • Colony Growth Kit: a staged kit with Founding Pod, Early Colony Nest (60mm), test-tube blackout cover, matching nest blackout and red viewing covers, and your choice of Mini Outworld or Original Starter Outworld. The Dark Brown / Original Starter Outworld option is available while stock lasts; the Mini options are coming soon.
  • Small Colony Kit — coming soon: redesigned Small Nest, Small Outworld and both compatible nest covers in Black or Dark Green.
  • Medium Colony Kit — coming soon: redesigned Medium Nest, Medium Outworld and both compatible nest covers in Black or Dark Green.
  • Ant Feeding & Maintenance Kit — coming soon: two precision forceps, feeder insect scissors, a pack of five feeding dishes and an empty 10ml dispensing bottle.

New kits will appear as purchasable products when stock and final preparation are ready. In the meantime, contact us about availability. No live ants are included in these equipment kits.

Expand gradually: a suitable hydrated test tube remains appropriate for many founding queens and young colonies. See modular compatibility, when to move into a nest and product safety and suitability.
