Great product!
This liquid feeder was a great addition to my outworld, and the ants really enjoy it! Five milliliters was a good size for me. The feeder has eight feeding ports, so ants don't have to "wait their turn" for very long to get a drink.

Awesome Design
I was thoroughly impressed with this product! The Ant gates connected really well to my other Nest modules and the Ant tunnels inside were very realistic and also a good size. I ordered the red lid along with a large Nest, and at first I was afraid the red lid would be hard to see through, but it is really transparent! Don't be fooled, it comes with a piece of plastic on it, making it appear dull; you just have to peel it off. I will certainly be buying from Antkeepers again!

Absolutely love it!
This Nest Water hub is awesome! I was really happy that its water supply held out for a while (no more refilling my ants' water every ten minutes 😁). It also has its own set of revolving doors so adventurous ants don't escape while attaching other Nest modules to it!

Brilliant product
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.

Quality product
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.

Leuk en schattig huisje voor de mieren
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 :)

Very good quality!
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.
