Plastic Pipette (3 ml / 15 cm) – Indispensable for precise humidification
Maintaining the correct moisture level is one of the most important tasks when caring for ants, small reptiles, and tropical insects. Too much water can lead to mold or flooding of the nest chambers, while too little moisture can be deadly. With this **3 ml plastic dosing pipette**, you have complete control over every drop of liquid you administer.
Precise Dosing Without Spilling
The pipette has a total length of 15 cm and features clear graduations on the side. This allows you to see exactly how many milliliters you draw up and inject. The squeeze bulb at the top operates very smoothly, making it easy to accurately drip a few drops of water into a humidification opening, or to precisely offer sugar water and fruit fly liquid in the outworld.
Safe, Flexible, and Reusable
Made from flexible and unbreakable transparent plastic (LDPE). Unlike glass pipettes, this plastic version cannot break, making it very safe for daily use around acrylic, plaster, or glass formicariums. After use, simply rinse the pipette with warm water to clean it for the next feeding.

Outworld Barrier Oil – The reliable barrier against escaping ants
Opening the outworld for feeding or maintenance of your ant farm becomes much more relaxed when you know that the worker ants can't simply climb over the edge. Our **Outworld Barrier Oil** is the ideal, animal-friendly solution to keep an active colony neatly contained in their outworld.
How does it work?
Despite the name, this is not a traditional greasy oil, but a carefully formulated mixture based on a fine talc substance. As soon as you apply a thin strip of this mixture to the top edge of the enclosure, ants lose their grip when they try to climb the edge. They simply slide back into the outworld.
Easy to apply & long-lasting effect
You can easily apply the mixture with a cotton swab or cotton bud. Once applied, the barrier remains effective for a long time — under normal circumstances, you only need to refresh the layer after several months to even a full year!
User tips for optimal performance:
• Smooth surfaces: Exclusively for use on smooth glass or plastic (acrylic) walls.
• Avoid corners: Apply the barrier to straight, smooth sections. In the right-angle corners of an enclosure, ants can sometimes still find just enough grip; ensure that the corners are extra carefully covered or rounded.
• Maintenance: For very large, highly active colonies or areas with high humidity, it is advisable to wipe the barrier clean and reapply it more frequently.
Key benefits at a glance:
- Maximum prevention: Ants slip and cannot cross the top edge of the outworld.
- Extremely durable: Remains effective for up to a year without needing interim replacement.
- Animal-friendly & safe: Talc-based mixture that does not harm ants.
- Easy to apply: Quick to apply to smooth acrylic or glass with a cotton swab.
Product specifications:
- Type: Anti-escape preventative (talc-based mixture)
- Suitable for: Smooth surfaces (glass & acrylic/plastic)
- Recommended application: Top edge of ant farm outworlds and arenas
Prevent your ants from making a break for it and enjoy a carefree hobby. Order the Outworld Barrier Oil today!
Ant Docking Station
Why a docking station for every nascent colony?
This is where the ant hobby begins. The ultimate start for any colony smaller than 50 workers. The small colony in a test tube needs shelter, a quiet place. Many ant species can benefit from a nice warm temperature, and you want to be able to connect your test tube to an arena in a good and aesthetically pleasing way. Making a connection between the test tube and the arena is always the first step in the hobby. After this is done, the colony can collect food from the arena and dispose of their waste. There is only 1 product available worldwide that allows you to arrange all this in one go.
The Docking Station is a must for every nascent ant colony of up to about 50 workers!
Specifications and Use
What can you and your ants do with this product and how do you use it?
Custom-made
The test tube L (16mm diameter and 150mm long) fits precisely into the Docking Station.
Shelter for your ant colony
The lid closes precisely over the test tube for good shelter for your colony (for the moments you're not observing).
Ventilation in docking station
Ventilation openings are incorporated in the lid for healthy airflow around the test tube.
Heating for rapid and healthy development
Openings are made at the bottom where a heating cable can be placed in several ways without the risk of condensation. Various temperature increases can be achieved by placing a cable partially or completely. Explanations on how it works and what temperature increases you can achieve can be found in the included instructions.
Connection to the tunnels
From the Docking Station, the ants will manage the transport through the tunnels to arenas and new nests. The connector piece from the test tube to the tunnels fits precisely onto this Docking Station.
A feast for the eyes
The Docking Station looks sleek and professional. It makes all other currently available products for a test tube obsolete. No more acrylic or wooden holders. No more shelter from foils, pieces of cloth, cardboard, or sleeves. No more fumbling around, but professionally ready for the future of your colony in one go!
What you get
The product consists of two parts. The dock comes with a base part where the test tube fits and a lid that closes precisely over it. A few options can be ordered immediately here at attractive promotional prices!
1. A test tube with nesting provision (moisture reservoir) if you don't have a nesting tube yet, or want to replace it (see example in the photos)
2. A connector piece to connect the test tube to the tunnel tubing.
3. Half a meter of tunnel tubing to connect to the arenas and nests.
4. A heating cable to provide your ant colony with the ultimate temperature for rapid and healthy development, so they are quickly (or more quickly) ready for a new, additional nesting environment!

Sand Loam Combination (200 grams) – The ideal base for a sturdy ant nest
Ants are true master builders, but they need the right material to dig a safe nest. Ordinary sand quickly collapses when it dries. Our specially developed **Sand Loam Combination** contains exactly the right ratio of fine sand and loam (clay). This ensures that the excavated tunnels and chambers retain their shape and strength, just like in nature!
Beautiful natural look and fine texture
The substrate has a very fine texture and a beautiful warm red/yellow color scheme. This immediately gives the ant habitat or terrarium a natural and atmospheric look.
Important for use: Moisten for firmness
Because the sand-loam mix is very finely packed, it is essential to **lightly moisten** the substrate after filling the ant farm. The loam then binds with the sand. Let the mixture dry thoroughly until it forms a firm structure. Only then can you safely place or connect the ants!
Filling advice for an ant farm: Fill a sand ant farm with a maximum of 2/3 of this sand-loam combination. This leaves the ants enough free space to dig sand upwards, build up, and determine their own nest layout!
How much do you need?
- Town House: approx. 250 grams needed (order 2 bags of 200g for sufficient supply)
- Urban Villa: approx. 500 grams needed (order 3 bags of 200g for sufficient supply)
Calculate the volume of your ant farm yourself:
Calculate the volume of the nest section in centimeters:
Length x Width x Height = Volume in cm³
Example calculation: With 1000 grams of sand-loam, you fill approximately 600 cm³. Divide your total volume in cm³ by 600 to see how many kilograms of sand-loam you need.
Key benefits at a glance:
- Collapse-free tunnels: Loam ensures a rock-solid bond after moistening.
- Manually mixed: Optimal ratio specifically tailored for digging ant species.
- Natural appearance: Fine texture with a beautiful red-yellow color scheme.
- Multifunctional: Also perfect as a decorative or functional base in terrariums.
Product specifications:
- Content: 200 grams per package
- Composition: Manually mixed fine sand and loam (clay)
- Color: Red / Yellow mixture
- Application: Digging substrate for ant farms and terrariums
Let your ants safely build their own tunnel system or use it as a beautiful, decorative ground cover.
