Antie Ant Farm Kit Live Queen Ant Starter Nest is the perfect way to observe the fascinating world of ants!
This ant farm boasts a completely new design that mimics the ants' natural habitat. The chambers inside the nest are inspired by an actual ant nest, ensuring that all the sections have a specific function to cover all ants' needs.
Our ant farm features a queen ant area and a brood area with three chambers for different egg development stages. It also includes a food storage area and a larger Greek sponge area for optimal humidity control. The outworld is placed on top of the nest, just like in the wild. Watch as your colony thrives and grows, providing endless entertainment and education. An Ant Farm suitable for either school or home education.
For ant species with higher temperature requirements, we have designed a special heating unit which stands on the back and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Colonies failed due to a lack of fresh water supply, lack of food, and mostly due to a stressed-out queen.

Don’t expose your ants to direct sunlight or any heat/light source (lamps/bulbs) trying to move them inside the nest quicker or you may harm your queen ant.
