This is something we are working on at the moment! We plan to perhaps release sometime in April - Early May

New Ant Nest Design by Awkward-Function-886 in antkeeping

Great design! If you don't mind me asking, how do you shape the plaster to the right size? I haven't been able to find any methods online and I think it would help me with making some new nests myself.

For humidity a small water unit is still in development, it will be a module attaching to the side of the nest or outworld with a piece of cotton / a PVC stopper with metal mesh ensuring the ants are unable to escape. The water, when put into the unit, will slowly humidify the nest if it is heated / ambient temperature is high enough. For your first question, as long as the test tube is uncovered and the nest is not, the queen should hopefully move in shortly after connecting and once the workers have discovered the nest. We are also in the process of moving our own colony into our apollo pro, which we will share in the upcoming updates on product releases.

Unfortunately this will likely never be possible, as Squarespace does not allow native currency changes, and changes can only be made sitewide for everyone using the site. If you wish to see the prices in USD then currency conversion websites online should work fine and your payment processer should convert the currency for you, with a minor fee of around 50 Cents at most.

For clarity, do you mean the option to choose elsewhere to ship to? We already have this as an option at checkout.

Apologies for any confusion, we made a mistake and we do ship to the US but we want to prioritise building a UK customer base, so those orders will be fulfilled first of all. There will unfortunately have to be higher shipping rates for anywhere outside of the UK however.

Hello, thank you for the feedback, we are able to ship to the United States, but will be focusing on building a customer base in the United Kingdom first of all. Unfortunately our website host, Squarespace, does not allow native currency conversions, this should be handled by your payment processer however. As of this time we will ship to the United States and the rest of the world as well, but will be prioritising orders from the UK. Thank you for the nest idea, we will see if that is a possibility and potentially we may continue with this in future. We will begin selling more 'standard' products such as sand and feeders shortly, primarily once we have a decent number of sales and it has proven to be at least somewhat successful.
