Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I'm completely new to ants, what should I buy?
If you're new to antkeeping (welcome!), we recommend starting with our Starter Pack, which includes everything you need to begin your journey: a Nest for housing your ants, an Outworld for foraging, a liquid feeder, and two bonus gifts—our ant guide "My First Ant Colony" and a feeding tray. This comprehensive kit provides all the essentials to help you start your first ant colony successfully and learn the basics of ant care.

Are your products suitable for kids?
Yes, many of our products are suitable for children, particularly with adult supervision. However, please be aware that some products contain small parts that could pose a choking hazard to young children. We recommend that children are supervised while handling or using our products to ensure safety and a positive learning experience.

How do I choose the right product for my ant colony?
The right product depends on the size of your ant colony and the specific needs of the ant species you are keeping. Smaller nests are ideal for starter colonies, while larger nests or modular systems can accommodate growing colonies. Please refer to the product descriptions for more details on suitability for different ant species and colony sizes.

What ant species are your products suitable for?
Our products are designed to be versatile and are suitable for most ant species commonly kept by enthusiasts. However, some products may not be suitable for certain exotic species, such as weaver ants, which require specific environmental conditions like higher humidity levels. Please check the product descriptions for any specific suitability notes.

Do you sell live ants?
No, we do not sell live ants. However, there are many reputable suppliers where you can purchase ants, or you may be able to collect them from nature, depending on your location and local regulations. Always ensure you follow local laws and treat natural habitats and insects with respect.

What type of food do ants need, and what do you recommend?
Ants generally require a balanced diet consisting of proteins, sugars, and sometimes fats. We recommend using a combination of protein sources, like small insects or commercial ant food, and sugary foods like fruit or specially formulated ant nectars. Sunburst Ant Nectar is a great choice for providing essential sugars to your ants, mimicking the natural sweet liquids they would find in their environment.

Do you sell products to help feed my ants?
Yes, we offer several products to make feeding your ants easier and more efficient. Our Liquid Feeder is designed to dispense ant nectar or sugar water in a controlled manner, preventing spills and reducing waste. Additionally, our Sunburst Ant Nectar is a specially formulated liquid food that provides the essential sugars ants need for energy, making it a perfect addition to your ant-keeping setup.

Where do you ship your products, and what are the shipping times?
We ship our products internationally. Shipping times vary depending on the destination: within Sweden, delivery typically takes 1-3 days. For other European countries and the US, please allow a few extra days for delivery. We strive to process and ship orders as quickly as possible to ensure you receive your products promptly.

Can I return or exchange my product if I am not satisfied?
Yes, we offer returns and exchanges for most products. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please review our returns policy for details on how to initiate a return or exchange. We are committed to ensuring our customers are happy with their products and services.
