Ant Guides

Everything works amazingly, fits into the other pieces well and all as expected!

My son and i are loving keeping ants! Espescially with your ant farms and food. Now we love to slam flies to keep them busy... I can say that we both have a new hobby! Thank you!

Bought a few times from AntKeepers and the products are brilliant, I love the outworld, it’s so simple and such a great design, so fun to decorate. My last order the postage was super quick. I am quite a fussy customer so the fact I keep coming back for more speaks volumes haha, Fantastic company, five stars well deserved.

Though its hibernation season for my colony, the nest portions that came in were top-quality. I'm excited to start getting the colony moved over to the new AntKeepers set and growing it eventually.

Definitely worth the money, and it's reasonably priced anyways for something that works out of the box.

Only suggestion would be to make something that works as a test tube conversion for new queens with nanitics to allow them to transfer at their own pace.

Beste, jullie product vind ik heel mooi. Ik heb dit gekocht voor mijn vriend die graag wil starten met mieren. Ik had hier mijn twijfels bij maar bij het zien van jullie product heeft hij me toch kunnen overtuigen. Ik vind het nu heel schattig om mieren te hebben in een zo mooi afgewerkt product.
Ook dat je de dingen kunt afkoppelen en andere huisje eraan kunt koppelen is geweldig zo kan hij zelf uitbereiden als hij er meer wilt. Een geweldig product nu nog hopen dat ze niet ontsnappen :)

Quality is great compared to others I’ve seen. The water tower works well and I love the natural shape of the nest. I plan to get an outworld in the near future and will uploads pics when I can. I even took mine fully apart to see how they are made, easy to disassemble and repair or clean if the need arises.

Great quality very innovative no chance of ant escaping as well as enough room for the ants to live and stockpile food. Enough from for colonies of large sizes too

Enfin un design de nid de fourmi qui ne ressemble pas à un laboratoire !

Exactly what I was looking for to complete the set! The look good, work well and in my opinion are exactly what was needed for the formicaruim.

Needs a better lid or a lock or latch

250g sounded quite small to me, but I could have easily decorated their outworld 3 times over with it. It's pretty much as pictured with some smaller parts and lots of sand. It looks really good too, very rustic and wilderness like.

Great little item for ensuring the ants have plenty to drink/ eat.

I've just ordered this, so my review is a first impression, I can't yet speak about its long term use.
Regardless, It has impressed me!

Visuals: The product looks very good, much more appealing than a simple glass or plastic container. The lid and connecting formicaruim are very interesting to look at and have a lot of character over the usual square ones found online. The red glass covers are a nice addition to the formicaruim, allowing for easy viewing of the ants while not disturbing them too much.

Dimensions: these are as described but the measurements of the outworld seem to be excluding the lid and connecting ports. So it's a few cm bigger than advertised, but no complaints there!
(I've put a British £2 coin in the photo for scale)

Quality: the build appears strong and durable, the connections / lid fit very snuggly, a perfect match and it feels like good quality when handling it.

Longevity: as previously stated, this is just a first impression but I really like their additional port on the other side of the outworld which would make adding more formicaruims and outworlds easy. They also have different adaptors, one that is direct to their existing products and also a pipe connector so you can add their products to something else if needed.

Postage and communication from the seller: Excellent on both accounts. I was aware of when my package had set off and was sent tracking info. It arrived slightly earlier than expected too. The product arrived well wrapped and in excellent condition.

Cons: the opening into the outworld is a little small, so I had to use tweezers to decorate and I will have to do the same with feeding the ants. Not to worry though as the additional feeding tray supplied comes with a convenient long handle for easier access. I'm not 100% sure how easy it would be if I had to clean inside the outworld, again I presume tweezers would be needed.
I'm a little worried about disturbing the ants by opening the ports on the formicaruim to add water. Though these are easy enough to open and a very nice touch. If I were being really picky I would have had a small hole in the top of them to put water in via a syringe. It would have been a nice touch, but regardless, I love the easy access idea and ability to replace the sponge if needed.

Overall: a brilliant product, I would highly recommend it. I'm very happy with all the major aspects of this and I will be happy to purchase from ant keepers again in the future.

Please note: The decorations inside the outworld in the photo are my own and the photo was taken just prior to adding the ants.

The Antgate is a great idea, it allows me to connect different things to my formicaruim, currently I have connected my test tube directly to the formicaruim for the ants to have an easy way of moving without stressing them.
