An ant colony with Messor Barbarus

When it comes to ants, the Messor Barbarus breed is a very suitable ant colony to keep at home. You can learn a lot from keeping ants as pets and it is great fun to watch the ants as they go about their daily business. At Quality Ants you can buy ants that live completely enclosed (and safely) in their own ant farm. Caring for the Messor Barbarus ants, for example, is very simple, educational and, above all, fun. Build and expand your ant farm. The smart design of the nests and outside worlds available from Quality Ants allows you to closely follow the lives of your Messor Barbarus ants.

What do ants eat?

The Messor Barbarus ant colony actually mainly eats seeds. So most of what you feed them consists of seeds, which you can simply buy in the Quality Ants webshop. The ants add some moisture to the seeds and chew them to make a paste-like substance. This is also called 'ant bread'. The seed diet is not quite enough for the Messor Barbarus ants. They still lack some fluid and protein with such a diet. In addition to the seeds, you should also give your ants some insects to eat, such as beetles, cockroaches, (fruit) flies, mealworms or crickets. Fresh water is of course also important for your ants.

Build your own ant world

Buying ants from Quality Ants is easy. You simply start by purchasing a starter package. You then immediately have a nest, an outside world, the necessary hoses, a heating mat, a closing set and some other things that you use to start your own ant colony. These ants are easy to keep, but are also very sensitive to changes in light and sudden vibrations. Even visible movement from the ant farm can upset them. This means that it is important to give your ant colony a stable place in a place where there is no bright light. Do you want to buy ants for a young child? Then explain clearly how the Messor Barbarus should be cared for. This way you can enjoy your ant colony for a long time and the ants will be very happy in their new home.

More about the Messor Barbarus

The Messor Barbarus ants are found in the wild in Southern Europe, often in areas with a lot of sand. They build their nest underground and can handle a humidity of 50 to 70%. The queen grows to a size of 15 to 18 mm and the size of the workers varies from 3 to 14 mm. In a colony of Messor Barbarus ants you will find between 8000 and 10000 workers. With the heating mat that you can buy for your ants at Quality Ants, your ants will stay nice and warm. The Messor Barbarus ants feel best at a temperature between 21 and 26 degrees Celsius. Do you have questions or do you want to buy an ant colony? Then view our webshop and read the blogs to know more about buying and caring for ants. Of course you can also contact Quality Ants. Before you know it you can enjoy your own ant colony with Messor Barbarus ants.

Something went wrong with the order, but they handled it very quickly and very neatly.
A really great store.
Jan
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).
Zane
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.
Greetings from Belgium from Daan

Visited the showroom last week, nice to see.
Bought a polyrhachis dives colony and accessories, everything was well organised.
Bodhi Dubbelman
In my opinion the best ant dealer in the Netherlands. Ordered 3 colonies and all in top condition. Communication is also great.
Maykel Schollen
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.
Thomas Overman
Placed a few orders, everything fine! Last time something went wrong, I immediately received a response and a solution + extra. Top service.
Boaite
I have pheidole pallidula and Camponotus nicobaresis all arrived in good condition, I bought pheidole 100+ workers so there was immediately a small outside world with many brothers at the end of the holiday so already 200 and the nicobaresis is also doing well Top

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
Evan
Ordered fruit flies yesterday and they arrived today by letter. Very good quality and service! I'll be ordering some more food soon :)
Pim Bouwens
Very fast and neat delivery of the products. Everything was neatly packaged and was kept informed by email. I am very satisfied, you have a regular customer!!!
Ernst Bruinsma
Received the ordered ants today. These were very well packaged, all delivered in good condition. Thanks for this. This webshop is highly recommended. Good/fast and professional.
Dano
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!
Carl Boeckx
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.
Nick
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
Johan Roos

Thanks again Perry!!!
