Buy ant

Buying ants as pet

Have you ever thought of buying ants and keeping them as pets? A dog, a cat, a bunny or a goldfish is common. People bring those pets the most into their homes. But most of us don't immediately think of an ant colony. However, you can learn a lot from ants and it is very easy to start keeping ants as pets. Do you want a unique learning experience? And do you want to build an ant colony your way? Ants lead their own lives and are always busy. Buy ants that need to be cared for completely enclosed. This way you have extra time to enjoy your ant colony!

Build your own ant world

You can choose from different varieties. In our webshop you can buy ants such as Messor barbarus, Messor structor, Camponotus nicobarensis and much more. Start with our starter pack and build a nest to expand to a colony. Or rather: Watch your ants live their lives and help them by giving your ants the space to do that as well as possible.

 

In a starter pack you will find a nest, food, a world and of course your colony! Of course you can expand your ant colony by buying a bigger world. In this case you can add another nest when the colony. Nests are available in different designs. For example, you can choose a nest of ytong, acrylic or plaster.

Taking care of your ant colony

Your ants are actually very good at grooming themselves. All you have to do is give them a little help every now and then. For example, once or twice a week, you give the ant colony various nutrients in the form of a drop of honeydew or sugar water, a small insect or some seeds (depending on the species).  

Removing excess food from the cage of your ant colony is a good idea. Do you notice that the food is often left behind? Give your ants a little less, think in small sizes. A small only colony needs a very small amount of food. Is it necessary to move the ants? This is possible with a coupling piece. The move may take a while. If you want it to go faster, put the old living environment in the light and make sure that the new living environment is nice and dark. Your ants will then look for the darkness more quickly. They feel much better there.

Ordered something 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).

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 beetlejelly cups, which is what my ants like best.
A jelly cup is large and can last a very long time.
If they need a little bit of protein, I use a bowl of mealworms that were also ordered from here.
I am very satisfied and recommend this store to everyone.

In my opinion the best ant dealer in the Netherlands. Ordered 3 colonies and all in top condition. Communication is also great.

I received my Polyrhachis colony a few weeks ago, it was not my first purchase here, but as always neatly packaged and shipped quickly. The ants look great and healthy, they have also been building a lot, I am very happy with them.

very good quality, the queen arrived alive and healthy.

There was plenty of seed and there were many larvae and brood. The colony had 13 workers at the time of delivery. A really fun species to keep and it is definitely worth stealing this and observing the ants. Definitely worth the small amount. Tip: look very carefully and keep them in one place as much as possible, they are very sensitive

Ordered a colony a few days ago, it was well packed and delivered quickly. There were slightly fewer ants than ordered, as Perry himself had indicated. I believe that's why he gave extra Beatlejelly. Really top service, definitely recommended!

Today I received my colony of Aphaenogaster gibbosa after some delay at Post.nl.

But after a phone call with Quality ants, I was reassured that the animals would arrive safely. This is top business.

Camponotus fedschenkoi ordered.

This was clearly packed with great care and arrived in good condition. Ordered a Messor barbarus queen here last year and a year later they are also doing great. Large range for a great price. In short, highly recommended
