QBIK GAIA

QBIK GAIA is much more than an ant nest. It is the world's first modular system that allows you to recreate different natural biomes inside the nest, adapting the habitat to the needs of each species.

Its innovative design lets you choose between creating spacious foraging areas or turning the setup into a true bioactive terrarium, where plants, mosses, microfauna and ants coexist in balance.

QBIK GAIA combines technology, modularity and nature to offer one of Anthouse's most ambitious systems for myrmecology enthusiasts.

CHOOSE BETWEEN A FORAGING AREA OR AN ENTIRE BIOME

Designed for you and for them

GAIA has been designed with one clear idea in mind: to give the keeper freedom of choice.

On our website you will find ready-to-use predefined configurations. But if you enjoy creating your own setups, you can also design your own version, adjusted exactly to your taste and needs.

To start, you can choose between two models:

  • QBIK SCOUT, our smallest Gaia. We recommend using it as a foraging area. Decorate it as a biome and let your ants become true explorers.

  • QBIK GAIA, the complete version, designed to create a natural, stable and visually spectacular habitat.

They all share the same advantages:


✅ A full panoramic view from any angle.
✅ A secure airtight closing system.
✅ AIR lids, allowing ventilation to be regulated like never before.
✅ And, of course, full compatibility with the Anthouse QBIK modular ecosystem.

One of the greatest advantages of QBIK GAIA is its versatility. You can use it simply as a large foraging area or turn it into a true bioactive terrarium with plants, mosses, microfauna and natural decoration.

QBIK GAIA BIOME CONFIGURATION

Not all ants live in the same way, which is why at Anthouse we have created 6 biome packs designed to reproduce the natural environment of each species. This allows your colonies to feel at home from day one, achieving 100% adaptation through the recreation of their original ecosystem.

Each pack is designed with several layers that ensure a perfect balance between humidity, stability and oxygenation, maintaining a healthy and long-lasting environment. You decide whether you want a more superficial decorative setup or a complete terrarium with the depth and stability of a real ecosystem.

Each pack includes the following layers:

  • Drainage and oxygenation layer, to keep the base stable and prevent waterlogging.

  • Filtration layer, with activated carbon when required by the biome.

  • Main substrate layer, adapted to the humidity and texture needs of each environment.

  • Decorative or bioactive layer, with leaves, bark, moss or natural elements depending on the biome.

AVAILABLE BIOMES

Each pack is designed so you do not have to worry about anything: simply choose the biome most similar to the place of origin of your ants and set up your GAIA. You will obtain a living, stable and beautiful ecosystem where your colonies will feel at home.

GAIA is not just an ant nest: it is the chance to travel the world through your colonies.

PH SENSORS
PH METER

Placed in the substrate, they help you monitor whether the soil becomes acidic or alkaline over time. Knowing the pH allows you to adjust substrates, organic matter or watering frequency to avoid health problems in plants or microfauna.

HYGROMETERS
qbik side lids

They measure humidity and temperature in real time. For tropical biomes, where humidity must remain high, or for arid biomes, where dryness is essential, reliable readings help you anticipate adjustments and maintain optimal conditions without guesswork.

DAY/NIGHT LIGHTING
thermometer

Recreates natural light variations — sunrise, full day, sunset and night — enhancing the appearance of the terrarium, helping plants follow their rhythm and encouraging natural behaviour in ants. Especially useful if you want your GAIA to be visibly alive both day and night.

A modular, safe and practical construction

User experience matters just as much as appearance. GAIA inherits the QBIK philosophy: modularity that is easy to assemble, safety for your pets and convenience for everyday use.

  • Intuitive assembly: lids and adapters fit together using male/female parts designed for precise connection. This makes it easy to connect GAIA with other QBIK modules (ALPHA, EMPIRE, WILD) and create natural routes between nests, foraging areas and terrariums.

  • Closures and safety: the main lid features an airtight closing system and locks that hold it firmly in place, designed to prevent escapes and preserve the microclimate. Ideal if you have children at home or simply want peace of mind.

  • Quick-access mini lids: two small lids allow you to feed or inspect the interior without removing the main lid. A practical solution for daily routines: less handling, less stress for the colonies.

  • Integrated AIR lid: precise ventilation control. With GAIA, it is no longer just “ventilate or not”; you regulate airflow for each biome: more flow for arid conditions, less for humid biomes that need to retain moisture.

  • Functional aesthetics: in addition to being practical, modularity allows decorative elements to be added (connectors for vines, walkways, ramps), turning GAIA into a space that is as attractive as it is functional.
