formiLAB (s) Nest Starter Kit 

The formiLAB Small Nest Starter Kit is a scientifically designed ant-keeping kit, built for precision, durability, and optimal conditions for young or small colonies. It includes everything you need to get started, making it a perfect entry point for beginners or those raising founding and developing colonies. 

Ideal for colonies of up to 300 ants (species-dependent), this compact yet feature-rich kit supports healthy colony development from the very beginning. The integrated temperature and humidity monitor allows accurate environmental tracking, while two moisture zones, created using natural sponge or plaster deliver essential hydration and comfort for your ants.
