Complete Ant Farm Starter Kit with Lasius Niger Colony

Start your ant-keeping hobby easily with this all-in-one setup, built for beginners and families looking for a unique project. The kit features an escape-proof nest with built-in hydration chambers to keep conditions perfect, plus a connected outworld where your ants can forage and explore. It comes packed with all the essentials you need from day one, including pipettes, specialized tweezers, and a healthy starter colony of Lasius niger (Black Garden Ants) featuring a fertile queen, 5 to 10 worker ants, and eggs.

Lasius niger is the top choice for beginners because they are incredibly tough, highly active, and do not need extra heating equipment to thrive at room temperature. As your colony grows over time, you can easily plug in extra nesting space using the habitat's built-in expansion ports. We package all live colonies securely with plenty of water for the journey and offer a full Live Arrival Guarantee on every shipment, giving you peace of mind from transit to unboxing.
