Buy ant hotel

Have you always been fascinated by these insects? Buying an ant hotel is a unique way to observe these tiny creatures up close. What normally happens underground can now be witnessed with your own eyes. This mysterious world is revealed by purchasing your own ant colony. Be amazed by the development of your ant colony and the intelligent cooperation they demonstrate. These hardworking insects never sit still, ensuring there's always something lively going on. Another advantage of buying an ant hotel is that they're also very easy to maintain. Ants are largely self-sufficient, so you hardly have to do anything yourself. This makes an ant an ideal pet, high in entertainment and low in maintenance!

What does an ant colony consist of?

At Quality Ants, we have everything you need to start your own ant colony. The most important player in an ant colony is the queen ant. Once she has a safe nest, she lays eggs that hatch into worker ant colonies. These workers then get to work providing the colony with food. In our online store, you can buy a queen with brood and a number of workers, for example, 10 or 50, to start your ant colony. Choose which breed interests you most; we have varieties suitable for beginner ant keepers and those suitable for true ant experts. The Messor Brabarus, Messor Structor, and Camponotus Nocobarensis are some of our top picks.

What do you need to buy an ant hotel?

Buying an ant hotel isn't difficult at all. A starter kit contains everything you need to start your own ant colony. With a nest, food, and an outdoor environment, the ants have everything they need to live their busy lives. Over time, you can always expand the colony with a larger outdoor environment or an additional nest. Once or twice a week, you give the ant colony some extra nutrients, such as a drop of sugar water or a small insect. Buying an ant hotel doesn't take much time at all, leaving you more time to admire your ants!

There was a problem with the order, but they handled it very quickly and efficiently.
A truly great store.
Jan
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!
Mart
Well and professionally packaged and shipped quickly.

We order here regularly, never had any complaints, and received perfect service. Thank you!!
Koen Hommels
super good customer service, products received on time and in good condition
Joshua Krale
I bought a bunch of ants, all arrived in good condition, securely packaged. Delivered within a day, so a shipment that gets used right away!

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
