Moisture and Humidity for Ants and Insects
Stable humidity is essential for the well-being of ants, insects, and other small animals. In this category, you will find products that help to precisely regulate the moisture level in your ant farm or formicarium.
From humidification systems to practical tools for maintaining the right conditions: these will ensure a living environment that matches the natural habitat of your animals.
Well-regulated humidity supports, among other things, brood development, colony behavior, and overall health. Whether you are working with a tropical or temperate ant species, the right moisture balance is crucial for a successful ant colony and a stable ecosystem in your setup.

Ant Docking Station
Why a docking station for every nascent colony?
This is where the ant hobby begins. The ultimate start for any colony smaller than 50 workers. The small colony in a test tube needs shelter, a quiet place. Many ant species can benefit from a warm temperature, and you want to be able to connect your test tube to an outworld in a good and aesthetically pleasing way. Making a connection between the test tube and the outworld is always the first step in the hobby. After this is done, the colony can retrieve food from the outworld and dispose of their waste. There is only 1 product available worldwide that allows you to arrange all of this in one go.
The Docking Station is a must for every nascent ant colony up to about 50 workers!
Specifications and use
What can you and your ants do with this product and how do you use it?
Custom made
The test tube L (16mm diameter and 150 mm long) fits precisely into the Docking Station.
Shelter for your ant colony
The lid closes precisely over the test tube for good shelter for your colony (for the moments when you are not looking).
Ventilation in the docking station
Ventilation openings are incorporated into the lid, for healthy air circulation around the test tube.
Heating for rapid and healthy development
Openings are made at the bottom where a heating cable can be placed in multiple ways without the risk of condensation. Various temperature increases can be achieved by placing a cable partially or completely. An explanation of how it works and which temperature increases you can achieve can be found in the included instructions.
Connection to the tunnels
From the Docking Station, the ants will manage the transport through the tunnels to outworlds and new nests. The connector piece from test tube to tunnels fits precisely onto this Docking Station.
A feast for the eyes
The Docking Station looks sleek and neat. It makes all other products currently available for a test tube obsolete. No more holders made of acrylic or wood. No more shelter from foils, pieces of cloth, cardboard, or sleeves. No more fiddling, but professional and ready for the future of your colony in one go!
What you receive
The product consists of two parts. The dock comes with a base part into which the test tube fits and a lid that closes precisely over it. A few options can be ordered immediately here at attractive offer prices!

2. A connector piece to connect the test tube to the tunnel tubes.

Ants Are Heroes
With every ant set or individual ant colony purchased, you receive a full-colour instruction booklet. Therefore, "Ants Are Heroes" is no longer necessary.
But whether you have purchased a product from antfarm.co.uk or are simply interested in the life of ants, this booklet will help you with background information about your ants.
You can find ants everywhere around you: in the garden, in the forest, under stones, sometimes even in your home. They are often seen as pests, but in doing so, we do these animals an injustice. An old saying goes: 'Go to the ant, consider its ways and be wise' (King Solomon, Proverbs 6:6 from the Bible). You will find that the more you see of these creatures, the more you will appreciate them. You can truly learn from them. An ant colony is a wonder of nature.
In this booklet, you will find all sorts of interesting facts and background information about ants. Good to know when studying ants, but also useful for, for example, a presentation or talk.
Happy reading!
