Tools, Parts & Accessories
Are you a crafty ant keeper?
Do you like our products but want to put your spin on them? Not a problem! Whether you're customizing existing setups, replacing worn components, adding new connections, or simply maintaining your colony - we've put all the essential tools, parts, and accessories in one spot. From common maintenance tools to advanced humidity control tools and modular components, these help you create the perfect home for your tiny friends.
The best part about ant keeping is that you can get creative with your setup, and we'd like to encourage that! We design these specialized components because we love both caring for ants and solving the creative challenges that come with it. Through continuous testing, refinement, and feedback from customers who love these ideas, we keep developing solutions that actually help.
Take our water evaporator module - we built it when redesigning our Culture Tube Formicarium and needed humidity control that wouldn't flood the chamber. Or our perlite processing, where we grind, sift and wash to remove dust, then oven-bake for sterility, it works great in refillable hydration chambers where it buffers water release. The tubs and tubes adapter lets workers explore while keeping queens contained in their test tubes. Our test tube ports make it easy to expand colonies slowly with practical connections - basically the array concept for ant keeping. And the tubing dual-port is pretty clever - it fits both standard tubing diameters into one opening
So if you need help figuring out what works best for your setup, or have questions about any of these components, just reach out - we're always happy to help!
Custom Design & Manufacturing
We're also known for custom work - if you have a design you want us to print or want to develop a custom solution, get in touch with us so we can see if it's feasible. We're always up for the challenge.
Whether it's modifying existing products for specific species requirements, creating unique connection solutions for your setup, developing entirely new components based on your ant keeping needs, or 3D printing files you already have, we can work with you to bring ideas to life. Our 3D printing capabilities and formicaria experience means we can prototype and test custom solutions right here in Ontario.
Custom development projects involve design time and material costs, which we'll discuss based on your specific requirements. Just email us at info@poramorart.ca with your concept, challenge, or STL files - we love problem-solving with fellow ant keepers.
