Fine curved stainless steel tweezers with a serrated tip, designed for precise feeding and general outworld maintenance.

Useful for placing insects and other foods exactly where you want them, removing leftover food, picking out debris and carrying out small clean-up jobs without putting your hands into the outworld.

Not intended for handling ants. The curved serrated tip is designed for gripping food and debris rather than live ants.

Dimensions and compatibility

Material: stainless steel

Intended use: feeding and outworld maintenance; not for handling ants

Who it’s for

For placing pre-killed feeder insects, retrieving food remains and removing debris from an outworld without reaching in by hand.

The curved serrated tips are not intended for gripping or moving live ants because they can injure delicate insects.

Setup and use

  • Inspect the tweezers for damaged or rough tips before use.
  • Use the curved serrated section to grip pre-killed food or debris, applying only enough pressure to hold it.
  • Keep the tips away from live ants and fragile brood; use a soft brush or transfer container when live insects need moving.
  • Rinse after contact with food or waste, dry and store safely.

Care and maintenance

Care and storage

  • Rinse or wipe the tweezers after feeding or outworld maintenance and dry them thoroughly before storage.
  • Inspect the tips and body for bending, damage, corrosion or rough edges before use.
  • Store in a clean, dry place with the curved serrated tip protected from accidental contact.
  • Do not use damaged or significantly bent tweezers.

The tips are fine and can cause injury if handled carelessly. Keep away from young children and pets. These tweezers are intended for feeding and outworld maintenance, not for gripping or handling live ants.
