Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nest should I choose?
Choosing the right Nest depends on the size of your ant colony. The Small Nest is ideal for starter colonies with 1-30 ants, depending on the species. The Medium Nest is better suited for colonies that need more space, typically ranging from 30-150 ants. The Large Nest is designed for larger colonies with 150+ workers. Keep in mind that different ant species have varying space requirements due to their size. As your colony grows, you can easily expand their habitat by adding another Nest module.
Do you sell ants?
No, we do not sell ants. However, there are many reputable ant stores where you can purchase ants, or you can try to find ants in nature if it is permissible in your area. Always make sure to follow local laws and regulations, and treat all natural habitats and insects with respect.
Where do you ship your formicaria, and what are the shipping times?
We ship our formicaria internationally. Shipping times vary depending on your location. For orders within Sweden, delivery usually takes 1-3 days. For other European countries and the US, please allow a few extra days for delivery. We strive to pick and pack orders as quickly as possible to ensure timely shipping.
Do I need anything else besides the Nest?
Yes, in addition to the Nest, you will need an outworld where the ants can forage. We also recommend a liquid feeder, particularly for providing sugar water, which is essential for the health of your ant colony.
What ant species does this formicarium work for?
The Nest Formicarium is suitable for almost all ant species commonly kept by ant enthusiasts. The only exceptions are certain exotic species, such as weaver ants, which require a very high level of humidity that this formicarium may not be able to provide.
Can I return my products?
Yes, you can return your products. For more details, please refer to our returns policy.
Are the products suitable for kids?
Yes, our products are suitable for kids, but adult supervision is always recommended. Please be aware that the Nest Formicarium contains small parts that could pose a choking hazard to young children.
There is nothing as beautiful as Nest on the market today. All sizes are delicately designed to resemble natural ant nests. Our vision is for you to take these and then create your amazing miniature world from it, by combining the sizes to your liking together with our Outworld.
Nest is a design project years in the making, and we can finally say that thousands of ants have found their home here.
Nest and a majority of our other products are designed and produced in Stockholm, Sweden. We are happy to see the products spread across the globe. Maybe you have a colony living in them you want to share with our community?
We've gathered the measurements of all Nest sizes here for you. When buying a Nest you do not have to buy any extra Antgates, unless you have very specific connection needs. For normal usage, they are all included. The same goes for the sponges.
Nest Small dimensions:
Length: 6,4cm / 2.5"
Width: 3,4cm / 1.33"
Height: 1,8cm / 0.7"
Nest Medium dimensions:
Length: 6,4cm / 2.5"
Width: 6,4cm / 2.5"
Height: 1,8cm / 0.7"
Nest Large dimensions:
Length: 10,5cm / 4.13"
Width: 10,4cm / 4.1"
Height: 1,8cm / 0.7"
All three sizes of Nest work seamlessly together. They form a perfect shell-like shape when they are all assembled, but they can be arranged however you like. You can build your own version and create something unique.
Nest formicaria are built to be connected directly to our Outworld. But you can also connect to other brand's outworlds with vinyl tubing. Just attach the tubing to our "Antgate Tube" product and then connect the pieces.
My son was very impressed. He says it holds water well and is easy enough for ants to access.
Awesome product small for smaller ants
Schneller und unkomplizierter Versand, gut verarbeitet.
I was pleased the design is updated. I have several earlier ones that all break in the middle of the plastic part. leaving me with many useless glass vials. They would break by normal usage, no excessive force or anything.
I was hesitant to order more but if they all have this new plastic bottom it will be an upgrade hopefully!
I had ordered from you and received the order on time, but the colony parts are very small in height, it is impossible to keep an ant species in it, I finally asked for a refund of only the colony parts but until this time I still have not received an answer. I have already sent an email myself, but no response yet. I wouldn't buy here you can only keep one kind of ant with discomfort and that's the Lasius niger, i still want a refund!
This is a great feeder for my Pavement Ants. They use it really often. This is perfect since my colony is small. My only complaint is I wish there was like a lid on the top so I can fill it without having to take it out, get rid of the honey that spilled, detach it, fill it, put it back in. This would also make it easier if ants were using it or on it. Other than that great though!
Communication was great, quick delivery and good quality product
Just so expensive for what it is
The ant keepers liquid micro feeder is arguably one of the best liquid feeders for ants. Its sleek design and careful engineering are very impressive. I really like how you don’t have to use a sponge, that’s what really makes it unique. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is starting a colony for Lasius or Tetramorium species. For bigger species like Formica or Camponotus, I’d highly recommend getting the liquid feeder mega. (Also an amazing product.) Thanks Linus:)
As displayed in pictures on the website!
The liquid feeder micro is perfect for constrained spaces and works well. And AntKeepers service is excellent.
Perfekt storlek till Lasius Niger.
Hade innan folie med honung på. När dem fick denna blev det stor uppståndelse och väldigt många kom för att äta direkt! Hade då Sunburst Ant Nectar i. Dem verkade uppskatta det mycket mer än honungen.
Ska beställa fler när drottningarna jag fångade detta år får tillräckligt många arbetare.
Perfekt storlek för de mindre kolonierna jag har.
