Buying an Ant Family for a Gel Ant Farm?
Do you already have a gel ant farm or a compact setup at home and are you looking for active inhabitants? Because a complete ant colony (with queen and brood) cannot develop in gel, we offer special ant families. These groups consist exclusively of strong worker ants that are perfectly suited for this setup. It's the ideal, maintenance-free way for schools, children, and budding hobbyists to easily get acquainted with the wonderful world of ants!
Honest advice for compact all-in-one setups
Many complete ant farms offered online — where the nest and the arena (foraging area) are combined into one compact unit — are unfortunately usually not suitable for successfully raising a young, starting ant colony. A budding queen with her first brood needs peace, the right moisture balance, and a specific structure of a test tube nest. Based on our nearly 20 years of experience, we therefore strongly recommend choosing an active ant family (workers only) for such a combined setup. This way you avoid disappointment and immediately enjoy a lively and digging ant colony!
Why choose our ant families?
- Extra large & perfectly visible: Our worker ants come from Southern Europe. They are significantly larger than the well-known Dutch species, allowing you to study their cooperation and behavior even better.
- Active all year round: Unlike native ants, these ants do not need hibernation. So they remain actively digging their tunnel system even in the winter months.
- Immediate results: Once placed in the gel ant farm, the ants often quickly begin digging an impressive, three-dimensional tunnel network.
The special gel in the ant farm directly serves as a safe digging environment, nutrition, and moisture source for the worker ants. So you don't have to give them extra food or drink yourself. Select your ant family below and watch these fascinating creatures get to work right before your eyes!

Other gel products
PLEASE NOTE: products from other suppliers prove to be ineffective or work poorly. The ants usually do not accept this gel. The purchase of our ants for these products is at your own risk. The products from our webshop are all suitable, we guarantee that.
Shipping, packaging and storage
You will receive the ants in a tube and we have a digital manual with information about, among other things, the placement of the ants. It is not possible to say in advance exactly how old the ants are and how long they will live in the gel. This depends on many factors. On average, they live in it for a few months to longer than half a year.
When purchasing only an ant family, we ship by letterbox box. The ant family can then be kept for up to a week. We do advise placing the ants as soon as possible (due to the risk of dehydration). Please contact us for longer storage tips.
Warranty and service
We guarantee that the ants will dig in the products we offer. If they don't, or if they all die within two weeks (with proper care/installation), we will provide free replacement.
