Who this kit is for
Breeding Kit 2 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 Crystal
The Crystal is an acrylic nest, 20 × 13 cm, with a tall 16 mm chamber height built for large carpenter-ant majors that need room to move. Two humidification chambers, two latches for staged expansion, and 16 mm tubing ports for connecting an arena or further modules. Made in Poland from 3 mm layered acrylic.
Sand, decorations and tools
Two bags of quartz sand, a bag of decorative stones for a textured floor, four decorations, a feeder with starter jelly food, and tweezers for 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, moisten both humidification chambers, 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 2 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 Crystal suits Camponotus and other larger species that need a taller chamber.
A gift for an ant keeper
Breeding Kit 2 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 2 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
Why the tall 16 mm chamber?
Large Camponotus majors reach 10 to 14 mm and need taller chambers to move comfortably. The Crystal is built for them, where shorter 9 mm nests are not.
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.
