The AntKit AntHome is the perfect kit for starting out in ant keeping.
This kit is great for newbies and experienced keepers!
The Queen and her workers nest in the test tube as this simulates founding conditions.
Having the test tube in the AntHome allows you to observe them through the red window, without exposing them to light, vibrations and other movements of the test tube which will stress the queen.
Feeding is easy in the AntHome, just lift the lid and place your food in. You dont need to worry about ants escaping from the test tube as you try to feed them.
They will always have access to fresh water from the test tube.
Getting set up is easy. You just plug the test tube straight in and you are set to go.
The nest includes AntKit's propriety sawtooth receptacle compatible with the entire range of AntKit Sawtooth Connectors (not included) with a shutter to open and close expansion port. Use this to expand your nest into other AntKit products or your own DIY solutions. Perfect founding kit for just about any ant species.
The AntHome has a built in red acrylic viewing window and houses a test tube that connects to an integrated arena with clear window and vented clear lid.
Includes test tube, expansion locking tool, cotton wool and tweezers, Everything you need to get started.
Just add ants!!

Although this is not in use at the moment as it is a Christmas present, it arrived in good time, well wrapped and seems to be good value for money.

Love this little ant nest, arrived in really quickly. Can’t wait to move my L. Niger in after hibernation :)

So good I bought another! Very sleek well made design. The components are made with precision and an excellent finish. Ants are very happy, I have a good view of the test tube chamber whilst the red finish keeps them unfazed by light.

It’s great but the tubes are in plastic... the visibility isn’t great because of that.

We have brought it and we are waiting for it to come! But from the picture and the stuff that comes with this ant home looks good! I have checked the things that other people have said about it and its mostly all good. The pictures in the reviews look amazing and big. Yesterday, The day we ordered the house, i thought "Well how am i gunna swap the water without the ant excaping" But i will see if there is something that stops excapes! I will post another review after a couple of day of having this product!

I have my ants on a drawers and every time I open the drawers they don't feel a single huge vibration! Also the test tube comes in at an angle in case of floods! The whole thing is just great

Reviewing the 3 colors in one, don’t want to spam this place xD
After buying the ‘green’ one, I was very happy with it so I bought 3 more. The yellow one is slightly damaged, but that might have happend during transport. I love the colors, I think I like the yellow one the best from this batch. Took me some time to attach the Sawtooth Test Tube Adapters to the other exit, apparently only the blue one had a bit of an issue (see the Sawtooth Test Tube Adapter review) the other two connected just fine. I’m eager to put them to use and will defiantly buy the remaining colors in the future

Love it. Simple to set up and decorate. Ample space in the outworld to fit all manner of enrichment bits to give your small colony a much needed area to explore. Just got to make sure you select the right ports to keep open and you're golden. My Manica Rubida Colony took to their new home right away and with the added benefit of not stressing out the whole colony when adding food. A real step up from just keeping them in a simple test tube. Highly recommend for a growing starter colony. Last note you can still monitor your ants via the red window and again you won't disturb them whilst doing so.

Très bon produit, J'ai même reçut avec plusieurs accessoire
Vraiment très content
Relinde S.
Looks very good, took me some time until I figured out the rotating system on the bottom, I’m very happy that it has a way to attach other things to it. I only laughed as I realized that it only has 1 adapter. But not to worry, I have decided to buy a few more
Kurtis B.
Arrived really fast. Queen ant came looking really healthy with 4 workers, and still doing well about a week later !
Rob F.
my anthome arrived quick and neatly packaged it is easy to use and the ants seem to be settled in i am currently using it for a phidole sp the queen is laying loads of eggs which is probably because i have stopped disturbing her as i can easily view them through the red acrylic side-pannle i have bought in the past and am defiantly going to buy again...
thank you antkit.
Dawn W.
Easy to set up hubby very happy
Jonathan R.
A well made, wonderful product. Happy customer and more importantly, happy ants!

It arrived very quickly and the packaging was excellent, it was very simple to setup. I'm going to buy some more for my lasius niger as it's such a good setup
Ian S.
I really like this all in one really good for starting out of colony easy too keep clean and also like have I can move them about and not worry about stuff dropping off easy to view the ants
Wesley O.
Really happy with this. Speedy delivery too. Cant wait for my colony to grow larger so I can expand this set up with an Antkit outworld and bigger nest.
Thanks Antkit, I will be ordering again!

This is a neat set up that looks good on a shelf. The arena is a good size for feeding/watering. It also has a connector port so you can expand the set up when you need to.
The reason for four stars and not five is because it is quite difficult to observe the ants in their nest with this set up. I've also got the flat nest type which makes observation much easier. The test tube set up is easy to look after.
The product feels quite robust though the lid of this one doesn't quite fit so doesn't sit completely flush to the top, giving it a little bit of a wobble. Not sure if this is a common issue or just with this particular one.
The kit doesn't come with any instructions on how to open/close the holes for the connector port. Instead you have to try and work out when you've got it in the correct position. This isn't too difficult but a small note would have made setting it up much quicker.
Terri S.
Absolutely love this! It’s perfect for starting out with a new colony.

I couldn't be happier with my AntKit Ant Home. It's fantastic to be able to watch the queen in her test tube without disturbing her, and to watch the colony grow as the first nanitcs arrive is even better. The Ant Home has allowed me as a first time ant keeper to engage with the ants as they grow their colony as I don't have to keep them in a dark box or drawer, whilst still providing the ants with the comfort and security of a low light environment. The attached outworld has made feeding the first nanitics very easy and has allowed the ants to explore and search for food in their own time, and (when the colony is big enough) the connector ports will make moving the colony into a bigger nest effortless for both myself and the ants. I would highly recommend this product to beginners and pros alike.

Amazing product. Most successful house I have used yet.
