Who this kit is for
Breeding Kit 1 is a hardware bundle – everything around the colony, but without the colony itself. It’s for keepers who already have a queen, whether transferred from a test tube or caught during a local nuptial flight, and want a complete, ready-to-use setup without buying ants. It’s also a smart way to prepare in advance of nuptial-flight season, so the home is waiting the day you catch a queen.
The Formicarium Diamond
The Diamond is a compact acrylic nest, 10 × 9 cm with a 9 mm chamber, sized for a founding colony of up to roughly 200 to 300 workers. A humidification chamber holds moisture, escape protection keeps the colony in, and laser-cut ventilation keeps the air fresh. Clear acrylic on every side makes it easy to watch.
Sand, decorations and tools
A bag of quartz sand for the arena floor, decorations to set the scene, a feeder for sugar water, and precision tweezers for feeding and maintenance. Everything is included to set the scene and run the colony day to day, so there’s nothing else to buy to get going once you add your ants.
Setting it up
Assemble the formicarium, lightly moisten the humidification chamber, and lay a thin bed of the included sand across the arena floor with a few decorations. Connect the arena to the nest where applicable, then it’s ready for a colony. When you introduce your queen or colony, keep the setup warm and quiet and let them settle in their own time.
Add a colony from our range
Don’t have a queen yet? Pair Breeding Kit 1 with a living colony from our catalogue – browse the live ant species, or if you’d rather have everything in one box, our complete kits include the colony, formicarium and food together. The Diamond suits a small, founding colony of most beginner species.
A gift for an ant keeper
Breeding Kit 1 makes a strong gift for someone who already keeps ants – an upgrade, a second home for a growing colony, or a complete setup waiting for the next nuptial-flight catch. It’s the kind of present an ant keeper actually wants, and it arrives ready to use. For a complete beginner or a child, a kit with the colony included is the easier gift; Breeding Kit 1 is for the hobbyist.
Delivery
We ship year-round, securely packed to protect the acrylic and any gypsum or substrate in transit. Inside Poland we send via InPost parcel locker, across the EU via DHL, and we deliver to other European countries too. A tracking number is sent on dispatch day. Every part is quality-checked before it leaves us – if anything arrives damaged, contact us and we’ll replace it.
Built to last, not a throwaway
This is proper ant-keeping hardware, not a novelty. The acrylic is the same 3 mm layered stock we use across the ANTonTOP range, made in Poland, with real humidification and screw-locked access rather than a loose clip-on lid. Buy it once and it serves a colony for years – and connects to the rest of our modular range as the colony grows.
Frequently asked questions
What size colony does the Diamond suit?
A founding colony up to roughly 200 to 300 workers. When the colony outgrows it, upgrade to a larger formicarium such as the Crystal, Comfort or a modular nest.
Does this kit include ants?
No. It is a hardware bundle – formicarium, arena, sand, accessories and food where listed, but no live colony. Add your own queen, or buy a colony from our range.
What if I do not have a queen yet?
Many keepers buy a breeding kit to be ready before nuptial-flight season, so the home is waiting. Or pair it with a colony from our live ant species or a complete kit.
Is the hardware guaranteed?
Yes. Every part is quality-checked and securely packed. If anything arrives damaged, contact us and we will replace it.
How long does delivery take?
1 to 2 days inside Poland (InPost), 2 to 3 days to Germany, France, Netherlands and Belgium (DHL), and 3 to 5 days to other European countries.
