Description
Ant-Keeping Set 11 BlackAnt with Ants – Messor barbarus
Extended modular set with optional red protective covers
BlackAnt Set 11 is an expanded modular system designed for keepers who want more nest space right from the start. The set includes three nests (Nest M + 2 × Nest S) and an Arena M, all in the signature BlackAnt style: black housing, white tunnels, durable 3D printing, and clear plexiglass.
A live Messor barbarus colony (approx. 10–20 workers) is included, so you can begin ant keeping almost immediately. Below the price, you can choose whether to use only the standard black covers or add red protective covers that reduce light and help the colony feel calmer.
Why choose BlackAnt Set 11?
✔ Three nests: M + 2 × S
Use Nest M as the main living space, and keep the two Nest S modules for gradual expansion, separating areas, or opening new chambers step by step as the colony grows.
✔ Modular BlackAnt system
All elements connect using the included connectors and adapter, allowing multiple configurations adapted to your colony’s current stage.
✔ A beginner-friendly species: Messor barbarus
A popular harvester species that keeps well in home conditions, stores seeds, and readily settles into available chambers.
✔ Optional red covers
Choose red protective covers below the price to filter light and reduce stress inside the nests.
✔ Ready-to-use arena setup
Sand, natural decorations, and a small bag of seeds are included, so you can prepare the arena quickly and comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does BlackAnt Set 11 include live ants?
Yes. The set includes a Messor barbarus colony of approximately 10–20 workers.
Is this set suitable for beginners?
Yes. Messor barbarus is often recommended for beginners, and the BlackAnt modular system makes expansion simple and stress-free.
Why are two extra Nest S modules included?
They allow you to gradually increase nest space or separate the system into sections as your colony grows.
