There was a problem with the order, but they handled it very quickly and efficiently.
A truly great store.

Ordered three times in the past month and a half. Good and quick answers to questions via chat, and the Camponotus Nicobarensis colony was well packaged and arrived healthy (with workers and brood).
Daan
I recently ordered ants (Camponotus Cruentatus species).
They arrived very healthy and are already living in their formicarium with the outside world; they love the food I put in them.
I use the beetle jelly cups, which my ants prefer.
A jelly cup is large, and I can use it for a very long time.
If they need a little protein, I use a container of mealworms, which I also ordered from here.
I'm very satisfied and recommend this shop to everyone.
Greetings from Belgium, Daan

Visited the showroom last week, it was a pleasure to see it.
I bought a Polyrhachis dives colony and accessories, everything was perfectly arranged.
Bodhi Dubbelman
In my opinion, the best ant dealer in the Netherlands. I ordered three colonies, and they're all in top condition. Communication is also excellent.
Maykel Schollen
I received my Polyrhachis colony a few weeks ago. It wasn't my first purchase here, but as always, it was neatly packaged and shipped quickly. The ants look great and healthy; they've already been building quite a bit, so I'm very happy with them.
Thomas Overman
I've placed a few orders, everything was great! Last time, something went wrong, but I received an immediate response and a solution, plus a bonus. Excellent service.
Boaite
I have pheidole pallidula and Camponotus nicobaresis, they arrived all well. I bought pheidole, 100+ workers, so there was immediately a small outside world, many brothers, at the end of the holiday, so already 200 and the nicobaresis is also doing well.

Top service.
Mohammed
Very good quality, the queen arrived alive and healthy. There was plenty of seed and plenty of larvae and brood. The colony had 13 workers at the time of delivery. A truly enjoyable species to keep, and it's definitely worth ordering this and observing the ants. Definitely worth the small price.

Tip: be very careful and keep them in one place as much as possible; they are very sensitive.
Evan
I ordered fruit flies yesterday, and they arrived by mail today. Excellent quality and service! I'll be ordering more food soon :)
Pim Bouwens
Very fast and efficient delivery of the products. Everything was neatly packaged, and I was kept informed by email. I'm very satisfied; you've gained a loyal customer!
Ernst Bruinsma
Received the ants I ordered today. They were very well packaged and all delivered in good condition. Thank you. This webshop is highly recommended. Good, fast, and professional.
Dano
Ordered a colony a few days ago; it was well-packaged and delivered quickly. There were slightly fewer ants than ordered, as Perry himself had mentioned. I believe that's why he included extra Beatle Jelly. Truly excellent service, definitely recommended!
Carl Boeckx
I received my Aphaenogaster gibbosa colony today after a slight delay at PostNL. But after a call with Quality Ants, I was reassured that the animals would arrive safely.

This is a top-notch service.
Nick
I ordered a Camponotus fedschenkoi. It was clearly packed with great care and arrived safely. Last year I ordered a Messor barbarus queen from here, and a year later, they're also doing great. A wide selection for a great price.

In short, highly recommended.
Johan Roos
Ordered a few more things from Perry, the order arrived very quickly, and it looked great again!
I highly recommend them to everyone; they deliver quickly and the quality of the products is top-notch!
Thanks again, Perry!

This is a good website, a very large selection for a good price. I have now ordered the Messor Capitatus and have immediately been told that it will be shipped
