• Real Love For Our Pets

    Our shop colonies are our pets too, we care for them as if they were our own. We know our stock limit and purposefully stay below it, we'll never sacrifice the wellbeing of our ants for profit.

  • Live Arrival Guarantee

    We offer a generous live arrival gaurantee policy which can be read on our policies page! Fear not about the dreaded D.O.A.

  • Next Day Shipping

    We utilise Royal Mail's next day by 1pm shipping option to ensure your ants get there on time. We keep an eye out for strikes & weather, and will delay shipments where appropriate.

Ready to begin your journey?

Follow along with our guides and take your first plunge into, in our humble opinion, the greatest hobby on the planet. We wish you luck on your maiden voyage, captain! 🛳️🍾

Why ants?

Ant keeping is truly a hobby like no other. It provides a profound sense of achievement as you and your fledgling empire parade through great times and trudge through worse. You'll grow a strong emotional bond and truly be proud of the empire you helped build. Oh, and they're interesting. Far too interesting, perhaps addictively so!
