Good tweezers make everyday ant keeping a lot easier. Use them to place feeder insects, remove leftovers and waste from the outworld or pull a cotton plug from a test tube, without putting your fingers in the setup.

Choose the type that suits your setup: the Soft Touch, a flexible entomological tweezer that lets you pick up ants and move brood without hurting them; the Hard Steel with serrated tips for a firm grip; or the Terrarium Long Tweezer to reach into bigger outworlds. The Terrarium Long Tweezer is our personal favourite for the Small Outworld and the All-In-One Test Tube Outworld.

Soft Touch Tweezer 11cm / 16cm: entomological tweezers with flexible arms and smooth, fine tips. A light squeeze is enough, so you can pick up a single ant or move eggs, larvae and pupae without damaging them.

Hard Steel Tweezer 11cm / 16cm: serrated tips and stiffer arms for a firm grip on larger insects or a cotton plug.

Terrarium Long Tweezer 20cm: long, with a bent tip to reach corners and deeper outworlds.

Material: stainless steel (all types)
Which one to choose: Soft Touch for small colonies, ants and brood; Hard Steel when you need grip; Terrarium Long for larger outworlds such as the Small Outworld.

Moving ants and brood: use a Soft Touch tweezer and squeeze gently. Grab an ant by the leg or the side of the body, and pick up larvae and pupae one at a time.

Feeding: hold the insect with the tweezer and place it close to the ants, so you do not have to drop it from above.

Cleaning up: remove leftovers and waste regularly to prevent mould.

Test tubes: use a Hard Steel tweezer to pull out or push in a cotton plug.

Care: rinse with warm water and dry well.
