One System. Three Starter Packs.
All our Starter Packs share the same modular Nest foundation. You choose the Nest size based on your colony — the difference between the packs lies in the Outworld size.
Every Starter Pack is fully expandable as your colony grows.

How Ant Keeping Works
Step 1 – Start with a Colony
Begin with a queen and a small colony. Choose a Nest size that matches their current size.
Step 2 – Observe and Maintain
Provide food, water and a stable environment. Watch your colony build, explore and grow.
Step 3 – Expand as They Grow
As your ants multiply, add new modules, larger Outworlds or additional Nests.
Let customers speak for us
Delivered in a timely manner. The nest is really beautiful, well done and seems robust enough. I'll buy other module to follow colony' s growth without hesitation. I recommend !

Love from Malaysia..
Makes feeding ur ants so simple instead of using a piece of aluminum and making a mess
Fits perfectly, nice deep colour and quality construction without marks or lines.
Communication was great, quick delivery and good quality product
Red Lid for Nest (2025)
The products are brilliant the way they integrate into a single system that is very straightforward to setup.
The support is incredible, they had a massive influx in customers during the winter period in late 2025 and they communicated delays exceedingly well.
Product is made of sturdy material and fit perfectly on the medium nest area. An improvement for this would be to have it magnetised or have a little notch for removing it. 10/10 if I lived in Sweden I would buy again

It’s been great so far for a new founding queen I I have and I plan to buy even more nests for my colonies I’m getting very
I was looking for something aesthetically pleasing but that also met the needs of the ants. I found what I was looking for with AntKeepers. The nest is of very good quality, down to the smallest details, and the design is very well thought out.
It’s amazing pefect size for my formicarium
Sand ist perfect, my ants loved it the moment I put it in the outworld. Makes great athmosphere.
Many thanks ❤️
A perfect size for starting out but my son was a little surprised at how small it was. Looking forward to starting his first ant colony. He was very impressed by the little details such as the door to close off the ants to be able to change out the sugar water.
My son was very impressed. He says it holds water well and is easy enough for ants to access.
Build Your System
Every colony grows differently. Our modular ecosystem allows you to expand with additional Nests, Outworlds and Connection Hubs — creating a setup that evolves over time.
