Ant's Kingdom Asteroid (Universe Collection)
The intelligence of ants is from another planet, extraterrestrial! We still only understand a small part of how ants can cooperate so efficiently. The Universe Collection was created to illustrate this supernatural phenomenon. Build your own universe now, starting with this Asteroid and slowly expanding to a complete system!
This ant farm is perfectly suited for both small and medium-sized colonies of species such as Lasius, Myrmica, Pheidole, Messor, and Formica.
These nests are equipped with a foam part, which keeps the nest moist for about 1 week. To moisten the nest, you can wet this foam (syringe included). It absorbs and distributes moisture without the risk of flooding chambers and tunnels. The foam must therefore remain moist so that the ants find a good environment in this nest.
The system is very practical with this unique water supply. Even cleaning the complete Ant Farm is possible. You first connect another enclosure or nest tube to which the ants move, and then the acrylic nest can be easily unscrewed and rinsed with water.
The nest is easy to expand through the 10 mm opening on the outside. Other enclosures can be connected with hoses.
Ant Colony
Almost all ant colonies can be kept in this nest. Choose a colony above for a special price.
Feeding Set
The diet of a Lasius ant colony consists of a combination of sugar water, honeydew, and fruit flies, and for a Messor colony, seeds are added. A feeding set can be ordered above.

Ant Farm Starter Set
The best foundation for starting to cultivate your own ant colony can be found in this starter set!
The biggest challenge of the hobby is getting started. How do you ensure that your queen, with a few workers, grows into a healthy, large colony? The 'Ant Dock Station' in combination with the arena makes this much easier.
In addition to the excellent shelter and robust character of the 'Ant Dock Station', you can now also provide your ants with the correct temperature. At the end of the Dock, there is a recess where the 1-meter heating cable fits precisely (optional to order separately). By correctly positioning the heating cable, you can provide the test tube with your ant colony with the correct temperature. Now your ants will be nice and warm, even during the cold periods of the year! With the right temperature, your colony will grow the fastest, and that's what you want!
The Dock where you place the test tube can thus be seen as the nesting area, which is normally underground. Warmed by the sun, protected by the earth, and ventilated for the ants. This is all incorporated into the Dock. The Arena is the above-ground part. In this outdoor living area, which the ants can access via the transport tube, the ants can collect their food (which you place there once a week) and dispose of their waste.
How cool is it to be able to closely follow the ants' cooperation and the transport through the tube.
This starter set is suitable for all types of ants. Don't have a colony yet? Then you can choose from different types above, including food, and order them at great promotional prices. The heating cable and arena setup can also be ordered above.
